“Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage.” ~ Patrick Lencioni
A galvanized, high-functioning team can accomplish great things, yet achieving cohesion, engagement and high performance in teams can feel like more art than science.
Our experience in working with teams reveals that there are, in fact, predictable principles that contribute to great team cohesion and capability. We work with teams to create greater awareness of existing cultural norms and patterns of communication. As we begin to examine underlying written and unwritten agreements about behavior and influence we can identify those agreements that add strength to the team and reduce and replace those that don't.
We are especially skilled at designing customized programs and interventions that build capacity in your team and create sustainable growth and change.
For the past year Diane has been a valued coach to our team as we embarked on the journey of building a high functioning leadership team. Our goal was clear but the approach needed to be developed. Diane stepped into the space of an industry that was new to her and quickly assessed our needs and formulated an approach that was highly customized and focused on what we hoped to accomplish. Within a period of just a few weeks our teams shifted from their early skepticism and scrutiny to embracing Diane as a valued and trusted resource. Her impact is real and it is lasting. It is impossible to image that our current successes could have been possible without the foundational work that Diane did in helping each individual develop their skills and confidence as individuals and as members of a larger team working toward common goals.
