to match. Your people are technically brilliant, yet you know they
can achieve more with the right interpersonal tools.

creative teamwork your team can muster. Openness to feedback is a
must and conflict is inevitable.

GREAT!
It seems like they have everything they need to be great--expertise,
skill, motivation and goals. Yet they seem to break free of the
status quo. A major shake-up is too risky; but to get to the next
level, you know that something needs to happen.
Leadership, teamwork, communication and decision-making all need
a shot in the arm.
There are some good performers but not enough of them. For the group
to succeed, people are going to have to step up and take more
personal responsibility You are concerned about the future.
Your department seems to just go through the motions.
You’ve tried off-site mission statement meetings, fun activities,
walking around and talking to people in the halls, but performance
is below par and morale continues to slump.
There is open hostility and visible conflict in your workplace.
This behavior occurs among team members, peers and others. Some
folks are arguing and engaged in unproductive disputes, leaving
people disheartened, unmotivated, and preparing to leave. Positive
change is needed NOW.
You have just gone through a major reorganization, merger or
acquisition.
The culture needs to be reestablished with new norms for quality
performance. You need to assess your team’s strengths and challenges

place. Read on to find help.
