Featured Speaker: Steve Fairfield, Founder, President, and Facilitator in Chief of Teamwork Principals
Catered Lunch from Sunrise Bistro
Is trust on your team low? More conflict than results? Do you need help?
When team members row in unison, you can dominate any industry, in any market at any time. We help teams build trust, engage in healthy conflict, make real commitments. hold people accountable and put the focus on collective team results. Our work is all about your business, we are not-touchy-feely, and results follow quickly.
This 1-hour lunch talk explains the five behaviors of a cohesive team
1. Replace predictive trust with vulnerability-based trust – just like in our personal lives
2. Engage in passionate ideological debate in search of the best decisions quickly
3. Make real commitments which is simply the clarity and buy-in into team decisions
4. The primary accountability mechanism on any great team is peer-to-peer accountability
5. Leads, and team members maintain a laser focus on the collective results of the team
The talk also explains how Myers-Briggs Type Indicators (MBTI) accelerates trust on a team.
Behavioral profiling is a powerful tool that gives team members an objective, reliable means for understanding and describing one another. The benefits are two-fold:
1. Drastically increases the likelihood that team members will admit their strengths and weaknesses to one another.
2. By providing team members a common vocabulary for describing they’re similarities and differences, you make it safe for them to give one another feedback without feeling like they are making accusatory or unfounded generalizations.
