The Truth About Team Conflict

/in ,

Productive conflict is a critical characteristic of cohesive, healthy teams. Contrary to popular belief, conflict is not bad for a team. If your team engages in little to no conflict, that could be a sign of artificial harmony. Where does your team lie on the conflict continuum?

Teams that trust one another aren’t afraid of speaking up and disagreeing with one another. Recognizing that your team benefits from hearing different perspectives and entertaining opposing ideas will be a game changer for your organization.

The Five Behaviors: Accountability

/in ,

Adopting effective teamwork skills, like accountability, is of utmost importance for individuals and organizations, not just because we will ultimately “team” better, but because there’s a multiplier effect of any one person’s ineffective teamwork skills.

If there’s a lack of trust then there will be a lack of accountability, and the impacts will ripple through not just a single team, but multiple, since most of us work on several teams within our organizations.

Though a potential liability, this multiplier effect can be a tremendous advantage in closing the virtual teamwork skills gap if and when employees are equipped with effective teamwork skills to benefit each team they’re on. Understanding effective teamwork skills is the first step.

Building More Effective Teams

The Right Framework for Transforming Teams

/in ,

Even though modern workplace environments are in constant flux, the framework necessary for building truly great teams remains the same. The truth: teams rarely hit their collaborative peak and potential unconsciously.

What it takes to go from generally good productivity and results to epic cohesion as a team, is the development and practice of teamwork and relationship skills. The good news is that The Five Behaviors® Team Development as a support tool can transform your perspective and the way you team.

89% of The Five Behaviors learners say it improved their team’s effectiveness. Reach out to us or learn more here: MDR: The Five Behaviors

Cohesive Teamwork

The Right Tools for Teamwork

/in ,

The changing workplace poses real challenges for employees of all roles and responsibilities. These dramatic shifts—in the number, type, and geographical distribution of teams—require that employees possess a certain interpersonal skillset for effective teamwork, one that they can bring to any team they’re a part of. The problem, though, is that the behaviors within this skillset can be difficult to recognize, let alone adopt.

Another issue is that most individuals are either unaware or unable to consistently practice the behaviors that will ensure team success. This is primarily because employees see teamwork as something that comes naturally to them, and they don’t view teamwork as something they need to learn. In fact 99% of respondents consider themselves “good” and “effective” team members.

Employees know teamwork matters, and they know what it looks like. But organizations are focusing on the wrong tools to address the skill gap. Let’s fix that. Check out The Five Behaviors® products here, and as an Authorized Partner, we’re here to support you through it: MDR: The Five Behaviors
