Team Development
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead, Cultural Anthropologist
Carey helps teams to improve the way they work together. Her approach is to equip teams with the ability to monitor their own behaviour and progress so they are able to maintain their own dynamic over time.
Carey can help your newly formed team to build trust and unity and then facilitate processes that result in agreed strategies for moving forward successfully. Carey can also help your team as they navigate their way through organisational change.
Carey understands that:
- People don’t learn all they need to know about being responsible, functional team members in workshops. Most learning happens on the job;
- Functional groups must share responsibility for their energy, engagement and exploration of new ways;
- Relationships and connectivity between individuals is fundamental to team success;
- Relationships within the team are directly correlated with performance; and
- Performance and business mandates are essential – team development cannot be just about ‘feeling better’.
Team Development Tools
Team development interventions are supported by the suite of tools provided by Team Management Systems (TMS) – an internationally recognised specialist in teamwork, offering work-based feedback instruments.
The TMS suite of instruments recognises the unique relationship that exists between work functions and people. The research underpinning these instruments recognises that high performing teams achieve outcomes and instigate long-term change by harnessing the drive and motivation of their people.
Carey is an accredited facilitator of TMS instruments including:
Team Management Profile
The Team Management Profile (TMP) is a personalised report that gives individuals insights and feedback into how they work and their preferred role within a team, based on the Margerison-McCann Team Management Wheel. This Profile focuses on work preferences as well as individual differences and therefore makes it easy to connect individual development to operational realities in the workplace.
Linking Leader Profile
The Linking Leader Profile (formerly the Linking Skills Profile) identifies performance around fundamental people, task and leadership-related skills. It’s an individual 360º feedback instrument that aids high-performance. The Profile is based on three essential skill sets – People, Task and Leadership – and assesses the gap between the extent to which the respondent should and does demonstrate the key behaviours for each skill.
Team Performance Profile
The Team Performance Profile (TPP) provides a view of how well a team is performing in terms of nine critical work functions and serves as a team audit that highlights strengths and areas for development. Drawing on feedback from team members, other groups in the organisation, colleagues and customers, the TPP analysis helps the team understand what it needs to do in order to progress and improve.
