Transformational Teambuilding
Learning to make better business decisions, faster, with the right people
The Problem:
Organizations suffering from inefficiencies around division of labor and span of control will present with:
Confusion about roles and responsibilities
Disagreement on group and individual priorities
Inconsistencies in decision-making and communication
Over-reliance on CEO to make decisions
A recent Harris Interactive poll of 23,000 full-time U.S. employees within key industries and in key functional areas had stunning results:
Only 37% said they have a clear understanding of what their organization is trying to achieve and why.
Only 1 in 5 was enthusiastic about their team's and organization's goals.
Only 1 in 5 said they have a clear "line of sight" between their tasks and their team's and organization's goals.
Only 15% felt that their organization fully enables them to execute key goals.
Only 20% fully trusted the organization they work for.
The Solution:
Transformational Teambuilding
Functional Interdependence - Successful organizations are those who transition from operating like a bowling team, where individual scores are simply added together to determine the team's results, to operating like an orchestra, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and individual contributors must act in unison with one another in order for the team to succeed.
Reorganizing Around Teams - Teams that win learn how to make decisions in a group environment. They also have a clearly defined "Natural Leadership Team" as well as a "Natural Management Team" and "Work Teams."
Data-Based Decision-Making - High-performing teams experience the type of transformational and "profound knowledge" that stems from a view from the outside, an appreciation of systems and knowledge about variation.
