The only thing a leader can do on their own is fail.
Team Development
Team Effectiveness
A high performing team is not merely a collection of high performing individuals. Individual capability is an important ingredient but it is not the complete recipe.
At Adison, we work with teams to look at the complete picture for team-based success (see 3S Model). We take the time with teams to realize the context in which they operate. The water they are swimming in, if you will. We believe that every team has a unique and changing set of circumstances in which they must operate. Understanding these circumstances and how they may affect team dynamics and performance is an essential first step.
Explicitly articulating and aligning on the teams purpose, priorities, and principles sets the tone for why the teams exists and what they stand for. Finally, with context and purpose in mind, the team develops their ‘style.’ This is ‘the how’ they will go about working together to reach higher levels of team effectiveness. This involves both individual commitments and team protocols such as decision making, managing conflict, etc.
Top Team Responsibility
Top teams have a unique opportunity to inspire the entire organization by creating an environment that stimulates a sense of possibility, pride and core belief in the intentions of the organization.
Our advisors have the experience of working with top teams to accelerate their ability to focus on the responsibilities they are distinctively positioned to carry out (see Top Team Responsibility Model).
Namely, in addition to inspiring a sense of possibility within the organization, teams at the top take on the significant challenge of focusing and aligning the business on the critical few priorities that will substantially deliver on the business strategy.
Ultimately, executive teams have a responsibility to ensure that the organization has the capabilities, talent, and performance standards to deliver short- and long-term business results.
Our advisors have the experience and insight of working with top teams to help teams reach new heights in performance and create a more effective team climate.
