"As we explored the use of teams, it became increasingly clear that the potential impact of single teams, as well as the collective impact of many teams, on the performance of organization is woefully under exploited--despite the rapidly growing recognition of the need for what teams have to offer."

"The Wisdom of Teams" Katzenbach and Smith

Is your team or workgroup operating at its best? Listen to your gut, look at the data, and see if any of these descriptions fit:

Our team achieves breakthrough results

Our team is fully productive, and its members are professionally fulfilled

Our team operates with maximum efficiency and cycle time is optimal

We understand each other and we communicate well

We ask for and receive the support we need

Our team operates as a well-functioning group, rather than a bunch of individuals who operate on the basis of our own agendas

Our team interacts well with teams from other departments and disciplines, and welcomes members from those groups when they join our group

Members of our team join and stay--our turnover rate is low

If your team isn't enjoying these benefits of working well together, why isn't it? Does it have the resources it needs, such as time, money, information and decision-making authority? Do the members work together optimally?

If you don't answer yes, there are probably many legitimate reasons for your team's current performance and behavior. The Studio believes that, generally, people want to live and perform at their best--but they need the environment and the motivation to do so. They also need skills and support.
