Building Cohesive Teams

When humans come together in highly functioning teams we can achieve so much more than when we go it alone. The blend of perspectives and the support members can provide to one another pave the way for solutions and approaches that can drive real progress.

Unfortunately though, most teams fall short of their potential. Team members are all too often not on the same page, and the drive for personal achievement can hamper collective success. For some teams the issues lie beneath the service, while in others problems like low trust and poor patterns of communiction are very visible.

Elephant Capability can help teams to become more cohesvie and more effective, through the following services:

• Working with leadership teams to help them become strong guiding coalitions for the organisations or the departments they lead

• Assisting work teams to become more connected, and more equipped to harness the benefits of members’ unique talents and styles

• Helping work areas in different parts of an organisation to partner/collaborate more successfully with each other

• Undertaking mediation to resolve conflicts and differences that threaten team success

Previously we have provided support in the following team-based situations:

• Teams which are rebuilding after going through difficult periods

• Teams which are not clear enough about their purpose and goals

• Teams whose meetings are not engaging or effective

• Teams where there is competition rather than co-operation

• Teams where patterns of communication are ineffective

• Teams who have not had the difficult conversations

• Teams which are preparing to face new challenges
