People tend to practice what they prefer and therefore perform better in those areas that match their work preference.
Understanding work preferences is a critical component in developing individual, team, and organizational performance. Team Management Systems' Team Management Profile Questionnaire (TMPQ) is a 60-item assessment focused on enhancing understanding of an individual's approach to work. Based on the responses to the TMPQ, the Personal Team Management Profile provides constructive, work-based information outlining an individual's work preferences, based on the Team Management Wheel, and the strengths that an individual brings to a team.

Strategic Team Development

Through many years of experience, we've found that most teams fail because they have no clear picture of where they are heading or how they will get there.
Successful teams need clear expectations and a common purpose. They need open communication and trust among team members. Individuals need to understand each other's differences and what each person brings to the team that adds value. And team members need the right level of skills in order to get the job done effectively, while being adequately rewarded for their efforts.

The Strategic Team Development Profile uses the High-Energy Teams Model to address eight fundamental areas that all teams need to resolve, in order to perform effectively. The Profile provides an accurate roadmap for the ongoing development of any team. It offers a quick, reliable snapshot of the issues that matter for the group and the priorities the team needs to address.

I use a proactive approach, presenting issues and skills to participants, then allowing them the opportunity to embed those skills before assessing their effectiveness in the team setting.

Leadership Linking Skills

There's more to teaming than just hooking things up! Linking - the integrating of people and work processes - is necessary to ensure high performance at work.
Exclusive interviews with teams and team leaders throughout the world have highlighted common elements responsible for integrating teams into a coherent 'whole'. These are the People Linking Skills, the Task Linking Skills and the Leadership Linking Skills.

Team Management Systems has three multi-rater Linking Skills Profile Questionnaires (LSPQs) that enable a number of different people to rate an individual's Linking Skills. The 36-item Linking of People Profile Questionnaire is suitable for all team members; the 66-item Linking of People and Tasks Profile Questionnaire is ideal for senior team members and the 78-item Linking Leader Profile Questionnaire is designed for team leaders.

Again, I use a proactive approach, presenting issues and skills to participants, then allowing them the opportunity to embed those skills before assessing their effectiveness in the team setting.
