The Collaboration Deficit

Teams can stagnate or deteriorate, even in highly successful organizations. To give your people what they need to evolve, you need to get beneath the surface of what’s happening.

The Ceiling to Developing a Team

The whole is meant to be greater than the sum of the parts. But too often, teams at all levels lose sight of what they’re part of. They fracture, hit walls in their performance, and may even become dysfunctional.

 

Ultimately, when developing a team, we need to look at the wider factors that are influencing behaviors – unhelpful assumptions, unresolved conflicts, and ways of working – so that our teams can achieve synergy, as well as create more room for self-expression.

There's a Pattern Across Many Organizations

  • Teams are losing their sense of adventure and their curiosity
  • Teams don’t experience real connection or belonging
  • Trust is limited between team members
  • Teams are losing key members

 

High performing teams aren’t happening because something fundamental is missing, even when performance is prioritized from the top. And the paradox is that pursuing performance at all costs might damage that very performance over a longer period.

How We Help You Start the Journey

It’s not always easy to diagnose what your organization needs internally. Through conversations with your leadership team, we get to know your purpose, your culture, your strategy, your mission – and we sift through what is really at stake.

 

Through surveys, focus groups and other means we also go beyond the boardroom to understand perspectives and perception at all levels of your organization.

 

We then combine top-down and bottom-up information to provide an initial understanding of the status quo. Which we then reflect back to you… and the journey begins.

How to Address the Collaboration Deficit

The Team Performance Block

Pushing people to provide greater output only works for a while and up to a limit. Developing a team beyond this point requires mutual trust, ongoing reflection, and holding each other accountable in a safer environment.

The Board-Level Block

The executive team role models team dynamics to the rest of the organization and where there is lack of synergy at the board level, you can expect a fragmentation elsewhere in the organization.

“… I think for me when you’ve got a team, first of all, you have to have a very, very clear purpose to the team. Why does this team exist?
