AllStarTeams Workshop: New Innovations

Overview

The AllStarTeams Workshop, uniquely designed to cater to the evolving workplace dynamics driven by AI, continues to evolve. It prioritizes adaptability, resilience, and the cultivation of people skills, ensuring managers and teams are not just prepared, but thrive amid these changes. The latest enhancements include new data-driven insights, transformative visual metaphors, and a focus on deeper, faster team growth linked to timeless principles. This includes a New Workshop Module III for individual post workshop ongoing development.

1. The Cantril Ladder Integration in Module I is a practical tool that enhances individual growth through measurable well-being benchmarks. It provides a clear and structured framework for participants to assess and elevate their growth journey, making it a valuable addition to the workshop.
2. The Team Fusion Prism in Module II plays a crucial role in amplifying team synergy. By visualizing and harnessing collective strengths, it empowers teams to identify, combine, and amplify their strengths, fostering innovation and cohesion.

Both tools reflect the Workshop’s foundational design principle: transforming complex concepts into actionable insights through engaging visual metaphors, fostering sustainable growth at individual and organizational levels.

Exercise 5: Future Self Vision (Enhanced with Cantril Ladder)

Provenance: Adapted from the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale (1965), this validated tool has been globally used to measure subjective well-being. Its inclusion provides a structured framework for participants to assess and elevate their growth journey.

Rationale:?Embedding the Cantril Ladder introduces a tangible metric for participants to bridge their current state with future aspirations. This data-driven approach aligns well-being with professional goals, grounding vision statements in measurable reality.

Description:

• Assessment of Current State: Participants evaluate their life satisfaction on a scale from 0 (worst) to 10 (best).
• Aspirational Goal Setting:?They set a future target score, providing a clear growth trajectory.
• Anchored Vision Statement:?Guided prompts help participants articulate vision statements rooted in their assessments.
• Structured Reflection:?Participants identify actionable steps to bridge the gap between current and desired states.

Spiritual Dimension:?The ladder metaphor symbolizes human ascension and transformation—a universal theme across spiritual traditions. It reflects the journey from self-awareness to self-actualization, emphasizing personal evolution through progressive stages.

Impact:

• Offers a structured framework for realistic, measurable personal growth.
• Promotes intentional goal setting anchored in self-awareness.
• Encourages continuous self-reflection and accountability.

Module II: Team Whiteboard Template

Exercise 3: Team Fusion Prism

Provenance:?Inspired by Dr. David Cooperrider’s 2012 article – The concentration effect of strengths: How the whole system ‘‘AI’’ summit brings out the best in human enterprise. – this new exercise provides an original visual template —the?Team Fusion Prism?- which visually demonstrates how diverse team strengths merge to produce transformative outcomes.

Rationale:?Teams often underutilize their collective strengths. The?Fusion Prism?encourages teams to systematically identify, combine, and amplify their strengths to foster innovation and cohesion.

Description:

1. Prime Prism Base (Input): Basic strengths are placed on the left side, and Flow State strengths are placed on the right.
2. Power Up Core (Process):?Teams map out how different strengths interact and fuse.
3. Catalyze Emergence (Output):?Newly identified team capabilities emerge at the prism’s apex, guiding future collaboration.

Spiritual Dimension:?The triaugmented triangular prism symbolizes stability (through its triangular foundation) and dynamic potential for transformation (through its augmentations). It reflects the fusion of professional development and spiritual growth, from individual effort to collective transcendence.

Impact:

• Strengthens collective identity by visualizing individual contributions to team success.
• Encourages dynamic interaction of strengths, fostering collaboration.
• Identifies and leverages emergent team capabilities for greater performance.
