Team Development

Whether your business is software development, manufacturing, retail sales, healthcare delivery or not-for-profit, teams and groups are where the work of your organization takes place.

BusinessSmith Team Development works one-on-one with teams and small groups to coach and model validated, experience-based behaviors of team success.

New teams will ‘learn by doing’ proven methods of cooperation, discipline and team building.   They will Communicate & Align, resolve Conflict and enforce positive Roles & Expectations.

With these basics mastered, teams can move to higher levels of performance by learning Leadership & Planning, and harnessing the power of Positive Tension and Deliberate Disorder.

Dysfunctional teams can often by Restarted, Refocused & Re-Launched by building the Rapport, Empathy & Trust skills needed to defuse the deeper blocks to cooperative behavior.

Teams at all stages of interdependency can benefit from BusinessSmith Team & Group Facilitation, where we create an Intensive Collaboration Environment to dramatically improve decision making speed and quality.  Facilitation can be performed either as an impasse-breaking remediation, or as an ongoing tool for maintaining group momentum.
