So what makes an effective team?
According to Bain, these are the 5 critical elements:
1. Direction - they align on strategy
2. Discipline - they make and execute decisions consistently and have productive meetings
3. Collaboration - they build trust, intentionally solve problems and brainstorm together, and hold each other accountable
4. Dynamism - they prepare for and lead change
5. Drive - they’re industrious and resilient
How do we get teams at the executive or senior level to perform at their best?
An important factor is to ensure that individual strengths are harnessed to the overall team purpose.
The GC Index is a framework that reveals the 'energy for impact' of individual team members within the context of the business cycle and is aligned with the team's key objectives.
It's often the start of an exciting journey that leads to greater cohesion, collaboration, and collective responsibility.
As an accredited GC Index Partner, Chris Dunn Consulting runs Team Impact Workshops that act as the catalyst for more effective teamwork and improved business results.
