We view collaboration in two ways, internal and external, and help you build an elite team and create strategic alliances to excel at each.
- Internally - team development.
- Externally - establishing partnerships.
Internally: We implement team-building retreats that deliver a fun and safe environment to discover team dynamics. We'll help you build a team-first culture based on trust and respect.
Externally: Sticking to your core competencies is vital and partnering with other organizations can be very powerful (i.e. Nike and Apple). We'll help you consider creative, win/win opportunities and develop a plan of implementation.
Communication is the underlining theme that makes the best teams and partnerships, whether internal or external. We help you open the lines of communication to defuse conflicts, consider extraordinary possibilities, and increase productivity.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”
Studies prove collaborative teams effect the bottom-line:
30-42% of managers' time is spent reaching agreement with others when conflicts occur.
(Watson, C. and Hoffman, R., "Managers as Negotiators," Leadership Quarterly 7 (1) 1996).
It is estimated that more than 65% of performance problems result from strained relationships between employees — not from deficits in individual employees' skill or motivation.
A number of surveys indicate that people in all occupations report the most uncomfortable, stress-producing parts of their jobs are the interpersonal conflicts that they experience on a daily basis between themselves and co-workers or supervisors.
