Processes | Systems | People: Team Building Tools

We are process and system people, but we cannot overstate the importance of a strong company culture. A strong culture is accomplished through consistent, meaningful, and timely communication and leadership, and a solid understanding on how interpersonal dynamics affect our workplace behaviors and results. There is no separation between who we are at work and in our personal lives - it’s one in the same. The faster there is an acknowledgement and understanding of that, the faster you can move towards maximizing team synergy.

Since we have worked with over 40 companies in 24 different industries, we compiled a list of helpful team tools depending on your size and current company culture.?

Small to MidSize; Entrepreneurial - Talent Dynamics

Talent Dynamics profiles provide structure to a productive state called ‘flow’. The goal is to find the path of least resistance and add value in order to work together with more synergy…or flow.

MidSize to Large; Corporate - Clifton Strengths

Clifton Strengths builds upon natural talents to empower and build a strength-based culture within an organization.

Additional option to consider:

Any Size; Personal - Enneagram

The Enneagram test has gained tremendous traction and publicity for use across corporations and families alike over the last few years. It is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their responding emotions.

Implementation:

First and foremost, these are our recommendations. We are not affiliate partners of these organizations. In our work, we’ve found a white space of team synergy building tools. Moreover, we want to ensure that while processes and systems are critical for a company to be effective, maintaining a strong people element in your organization is essential for those processes and systems to work as they are designed.

Walk through the results - and what they mean - together.What do the results mean in relation to yourself, your colleagues, and the organization as a whole? These tests and tools, while helpful, do not define your people.

People are complex, dynamic, and cannot be encapsulated by a test.?It’s a tool to help, not a predictor of failure or success.

Try one of these tools, and let us know the result. We are happy to facilitate and help you work the learnings into the roles and responsibilities of your people...schedule a call!
