Team Performance
LifeWork uses valid diagnostic tools and a humanistic approach to analyse team performance and identify factors that may be stifling performance or collaboration. We optimise culture and spur collective success through clarifying purpose, building awareness and empathy, enhancing operating structures and embedding elements critical to high performance.
Diverse teams are complex beasts. They perform better than homogenous ones on important business outcomes such as novel problem solving, complex decision making, agility and innovation but require great leadership, the right make up of individuals, and direct but constructive dialogue between members to enable their success.
Team culture and norms count for a lot. And a single person’s approach can have a huge impact on the entire unit. The right tools combined with human-led analysis, data-integration and feedback across a team enable us to identify themes impacting culture or performance so we can get stuck into helping your teams restore balance and get on with making impact where it counts.
We assist teams towards high performance through:
Assessing members’ individual work styles and collaborative ‘team types’ for improved self-awareness and interpersonal effectiveness.
Building psychological safety.
Enhancing collaboration and communication.
Diagnosing breakdowns and blockages to restore productivity.
Facilitating honest feedback and reflection.
Providing an objective view of team dynamics to develop strategies for improving cohesion and morale.
Resetting team communication dynamics.
Workshops to develop elements of high performing teams.
