Are you…
A manager or team leader looking to take your team to the next level?
Do you dream of a cohesive, high-performing unit that not only achieves goals but thrives together?
Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni
Evolved teams…
Teamwork is the ultimate competitive advantage, because it is both so powerful and so rare.
A high-functioning team can achieve its potential, resulting in a more productive organization. It also reduces stress and dissatisfaction of team members, which has a profound impact on the lives of their friends and families as well.
Using Patrick Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions model, we empower teams and team leaders to build cohesive, high-performing teams.

F.A.Q.
Important things to consider
Is my team really a team?
A team is a relatively small number of people (from three to twelve) who meet on a regular basis and are collectively responsible for the results of the group. The team members share common goals as well as the rewards and responsibilities for achieving them.
Not every group is a team. For example, a group that appears to be a team might simply be a collection of people who report to the same manager, but who have relatively little interdependence and mutual accountability. If a group does not meet the criteria of a true team, this workshop is unlikely to produce the results they expect.
Is this team ready for “heavy lifting”?
The advantages of being a highly functioning team are enormous. But they can only be achieved if the team is willing to invest considerable time and emotional energy in the process. It won’t work if the team is interested only in shortcuts and half-measures.
Are you (the leader) truly committed to building your team?
The fact is, leadership matters. For a team to be successful, the leader must understand the power of teamwork and be prepared to lead the effort in terms of setting an example and dedicating time to it. Still, it’s important to note that many leaders who seem uninterested in teamwork are often just skeptical about the possibility of achieving it or afraid that acknowledging the need for it might reflect poorly on them. In these cases, success is possible as long as team leaders are willing to start the process with good intentions.
Is this the right time for a team development workshop?
Certain situations make it difficult for a team workshop to succeed. We suggest that you reconsider holding a workshop if any of the following situations exist:
◾ The team is very new. A team should have been together for a minimum of six to eight weeks before the workshop. For new teams, it would be better just to introduce the model and discuss how the team can avoid falling prey to the dysfunctions.
◾ There is about to be a change in the nature of the team. The time is probably not right if a team member will be leaving or the team’s responsibilities are about to change significantly.
What does the workshop experience include?
When you choose to take your team through the team development workshop (the core of the team development work), you will get:
◾ Team assessment (basic or full version).
◾ Team assessment report (to be used during workshop).
◾ Activity worksheets for sessions.
◾ Follow-up e-mails with facilitator notes (team agreements, notes, and recommendations).
◾ Agenda templates for self-facilitated team discussions.
