High Performing Teams Take Work
High performing teams take work. Whether a team is highly functioning and wants to take it to the next level, or a team is in conflict while trying to understand the dynamics to begin to bridge the gaps toward high performance, team building is critical to sustained organizational success.
Working in teams can be challenging. With differences and competing priorities, communication and trust may be plentiful, or at an all time low.
So why, if working in teams is so hard, would any organization want to invest in teams?
- Employees are any company’s greatest asset and therefore worth investing in.
High performing teams create synergy and often produce better results through differing perspectives, collaboration, distribution of workloads, and responsiveness.
High performing teams are focused on results, have a shared commitment, and have a stronger sense of purpose.
Teams are important, therefore team building IS important.
Team building does not have to be adrenaline pumping and scary. It simply needs to focus on the core needs of the team to trigger a real behavioral shift. At Satori we work with teams. Some teams require an intervention to really dig into the root cause of the team dynamics or dysfunction, while others simply need time to build on their foundation to keep it solid. Whatever the case, Satori Consulting Inc. is equipped to support your team as they discover a higher level of greatness.
When it’s experiential, your team develops to teach itself – we help establish a team culture that breeds greater teamwork. Our team of training experts facilitate the process and practical exercises for maximum effectiveness and learning.
Team Assessments
The MBTI® Team Profile provides the ideal starting point for teams that want to get to know each other to improve their productivity. It enables teams to do ongoing development to grow and strengthen relationships over a longer period of time, and effectively tackle a wide range of business issues. The report includes a summary of the team’s personality type, team strengths and challenges, each individual’s contributions to the team and an action planning template.
The MBTI Assessment has over 70 years of science based and research based insight. It is one of the most globally used personality assessments targeting self awareness and improvement.
Who is the MBTI designed for?
- Everyone
Why is the MBTI Right for You? The MBTI can help individuals and teams:
- Identify strengths and potential challenges
- Minimize potential blind spots
- Improve capacities to solve problems, communicate, and use conflict constructively
- Maximize the natural advantages that result from the similarities and differences of team members
- Develop action plans for specific steps to improve performance
Conflict is a natural, albeit challenging, component of human relationships. The TKI is designed to measure a person’s behaviour in conflict situations. “Conflict situations” are those in which the concerns of two people appear to be incompatible. In such situations, we can describe an individual’s behaviour along two dimensions: (1) assertiveness, the extent to which the person attempts to satisfy his own concerns, and (2) cooperativeness, the extent to which the person attempts to satisfy the other person’s concerns. These assessed behaviours can be used to establish methods of handling conflicts.
The TKI has been a leader in conflict resolution assessment for more than forty years. The TKI is an online assessment that takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Who is the TKI designed for?
- Teams, groups and whole organizations
Why is the TKI Assessment Right for You? The TBI can help teams and organizations:
- Understand the five different modes for responding to conflict situations; competing, accommodating, avoiding, collaborating and compromising
- Learn about the most appropriate uses for each conflict handling mode
- Open lines of communication for discussions on difficult issues and facilitate learning about how conflict handling modes affect personal, group, and organizational dynamics
