Program Description
Rapidly evolving and uncertain business environments require team cultures that are more agile, adaptable, and resilient to support organizations in achieving their mission.
Today's organizational team(s) can face a range of challenges, from fragmentation within their teams and limited resources to low collaboration, internal conflicts, and lack of clarity as to their roles and goals of the team within the overall business strategy.
Organizational research has proven that TRUST is the most essential factor for top team performance -- specifically, vulnerability-based trust. Trust that a team member can ask for help, not be afraid to follow up with clarifying questions or say they made a mistake, without fear of judgment or reprisal.
The other successful working norm that enables peak team performance is constructive conflict in search for the best solution for a given goal. Then, teams work collaboratively, with self-accountability to each other, toward delivering the results to which the team all agreed.
