Develop Your Team

Upgrade Your Team’s Resilience

Your team is resilient. However, the challenges presented by COVID-19, from the stress of working at home to colleague, personal, and family wellbeing to dealing with the financial fallout, are unprecedented. This is hard. Now is NOT the time to work harder; it’s the time to invest in an upgrade in your team members’ personal operating system. It’s time to provide your team members with the tools they need so that they are energized when confronting upcoming challenges.

You and your team members will learn how to:

• Tap into strengths when needed most, including fortifying confidence, performance, and renewal;
• Recognize each person’s particular challenges, and be able to mitigate the effect of those challenges, thereby strengthening the ability to lead, manage and collaborate; and
• Use strategies for remaining effective in the face of difficulties while developing greater resilience over the long term.

This program is based on the Actualized Leader Profile.

For leaders, managers, and staff.

Measure and Supercharge Your Team Culture

The program is based on the Actualized Leader Profile (“ALP”) and the Group Culture Profile (“GCP”). The former assesses each person’s leadership style as a blend of Achiever, Affirmer, and Asserter drives, explores “shadow” behaviors (the distorted ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving when under stress), and provides a score for each of the nine attributes of actualized leaders. The purpose of the ALP is to develop each team member’s:

• Leadership acumen;
• Resilience; and
• Ability to operate under stress.

This deep dive into motive drivers and their corresponding “shadow” side affords team members the insight necessary to maintain a healthy outlook, regardless of the circumstances. The ALP also provides a score on each the nine attributes of actualized leaders. The nine-attribute framework and deliberate activation of those attributes provide both the pathway to greater self-actualization, and the framework for getting oneself and others out of the “shadow.”

The GCP measures the Team’s collective personality against the ideal, and will score your team on the five dimensions of team performance (trust, communication, conflict management, participation, and purpose). The construct of the GCP (soon to be renamed the Actualized Team Profile), incorporates the leader’s and team members’ ALPs, and, for this reason pinpoints what each team member can do to improve culture, team efficacy, and results. Additionally and significantly, team members will benefit from understanding the impact of their leadership style and shadow behaviors on the teams they lead.

Each assessment only takes about 3 minutes to complete.

Leverage Your Own and Others’ Creativity Style; AKA Supercharge Your Collaboration

Amp Up Your Teamwork with A Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (“MBTI”) or TypeCoach Workshop

Trust is essential for team members to work together effectively. It is created through the understanding of one’s own and team members’ perspectives and motivations. This workshop begins with the understanding of self and others and then focuses on making the most of each team member’s strengths so that neither the team nor individual potential blind spots derail success. We frame Type in the context of the Arudia Collaborative Approach, so that team members learn how to adjust communication with a focus on an effective teamwork process.

In keeping with the adage “there’s nothing more practical than a good theory,” participants will learn how understanding Carl Jung’s Theory of Psychological Type can help them to:

• Better self-manage and deal with stress;
• Recognize what colleagues need to be more effective and less stressed; and
• Be more effective and insightful with others, including being able to “read the ‘virtual’ room.”
