Successful
team members don't do the same thing at the same time. They do the right thing at the
right time. A clear
understanding of individual roles, in the process of working together toward a common
goal, is the first step to creating high performance teams.

Authentic teamwork is built
upon commitment, trust, collaboration, and competence - qualities that can only be
developed with considerable effort over time. Without proper training, work groups will
almost certainly be hampered by conflicting goals, inefficient work methods, poor
communication, and strained interpersonal relationships.
Nearly every organization is training teams today. You need TEAMPOWER - a dynamic,
experiential learning event that provides the preparation your groups need to begin
functioning as committed, high-performance teams. Well-researched, thoroughly tested, and
continually updated, TEAMPOWER is the longest-running, best-selling team-building seminar
in the world.
TEAMPOWER participants will:
- Build team spirit and a cohesive membership.
- Acquire and develop group process skills.
- Unearth blockages to team performance.
- Encourage innovation.
- Increase team productivity.
- Find more satisfaction in their work and team
relationships.
Looking for an outdoor teambuilding experience? TEAMPOWER Challenge™

Most organizations today need
more empowered people. The trouble is that most organizations don't know how to go about
empowering their employees. Training and development are needed, but simply giving the
empowerment message to either the team members or the team leaders is not likely to work.
The trick is to train both groups together. High-Performance Team Training delivers the
concept of empowerment in a way that translates into action. High-Performance Team Training participants will:
- Understand a model of self-management and empowerment.
- Assist in developing a mission, a vision, and short-term
performance goals.
- Clarify their new roles and relationships.
- Accept responsibility for the team's work as well as their
own individual tasks.
- Refine team dynamics skills.
- Assist the team to learn group problem-solving and
decision-making skills.
- Manage group performance.
- Identify blockages to high performance.
- Help their team leader develop his/her facilitation
skills.
Glick Training Associates can facilitate this program for
you or certify your "in house" trainers to deliver the program. Please

| Group Development Assessment As your groups evolve into teams, it's vital that they periodically
assess their current level of group development - and be willing to discuss it openly. The
Group Development Assessment (GDA) gives groups a clear, comprehensive picture of how
they're functioning - and of what it will take to become a team.
The GDA measures group development along two dimensions: task behaviors and process
behaviors. Groups often get stuck in one dimension as they grow in the other. Truly
synergistic teams, however, engage in high levels of task and process behaviors
simultaneously. When GDA scores are plotted on a matrix, teams see how close they are to
that goal. The intersection of sub-scores also reveals the group's current stage of team
development.
Using the Group Development Assessment
There are five suggested uses of the GDA. These applications are by no means intended as
an exhaustive inventory of possible uses, and one or more of them may be used in various
combinations depending on the needs of the facilitator or the group. Use the GDA:
- As a diagnostic intervention by a consultant
- To perform diagnosis by the group leaders
- As a team building intervention
- With underdeveloped groups
- As a training model

 How can you encourage each member of
your team to feel accountable for the team's work? TeamAccountability clarifies this
often-elusive concept and drives home its importance to achieving team excellence.
As anyone who is involved with work teams can tell you, their potential is immense, but if
it remains un-harnessed, it is just that -- potential. TeamAccountability is one tool that
will help you to maximize the potential of your teams. It is designed to explore how
individuals within the team view their own and the team's accountability.
TeamAccountability also provides a forum for giving and receiving feedback so that teams
can work together to develop plans for maintaining accountability in their teamwork.
Holding individuals accountable for their actions has long been a goal of organizations.
The reasons are fairly straightforward. It is assumed that if individuals are required to
answer for their actions, they will take great care in those actions. And, in fact,
individual accountability in many cases does improve the quality of people's work.
In TeamAccountability, team members will examine their understanding of their own
accountability. Then they will work with a partner to examine and discuss how each person
views the other's accountability. Finally, a team discussion provides the team members
with an opportunity to plan how they will work accountability into their team environment.

TeamCommunication Inventory
Improve the overall quality of your team discussions and
meetings with the TeamCommunication Inventory (TeamComm), an instrument designed to
identify the roles team members typically play during team interaction.
How it works
Using a specific discussion or meeting to evaluate, respondents rate themselves on the use
of 7 Task Roles and 7 Maintenance Roles. Individuals then gain additional insight into
their behavior. Finally, action plans help teams make specific plans for improvement - as
individuals and as a group.
The Participant Booklet includes pressure-sensitive scoring and perforated response cards
to facilitate the feedback process. In addition to administrative guidelines and
theoretical background, the Facilitator Guide includes tips on strengthening task and
maintenance roles, a sample training design, and transparency masters.
TeamCommunication Inventory is a great follow-up to any HRDQ Survival Simulation!
