Exceptional Teams

Team Development and Coaching

Lead your team forward with Adelante today and journey to Exceptional.

"We cannot assume assembling a group of highly skilled individuals will result in an expert team..."

In addition to being technically able to perform their assignments, team members must also demonstrate teamwork competencies and leader capabilities, and the team as a whole must engage in effective interpersonal and team processing.

Understanding Team Effectiveness

According to research, team effectiveness is based on:

INDIVIDUAL SATISFACTION

The degree to which the group experience on balance, is more satisfying than frustrating to team members.

From Effective to Exceptional

Integrated together with equal investment, these components of team effectiveness remind us that who is doing the work and how the work is done is as important as the work itself. We believe this is not only the pathway to team effectiveness but is a journey that leads to something exceptional.

Exceptional teams intentionally focus on their group processes and social structures. This ensures a culture of high team performance created by strong team member relationships and team member satisfaction and well-being.

Designed for today’s virtual and Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous workplaces, our custom-designed Team Development & Coaching programs facilitate your team forward to exceptional.

Exceptional Teams center people and relationships at the heart of the team. They care about culture as much as performance.

  • Collaborative
  • Connected
  • Courageous
  • Committed

Collaborative

Beyond simply cooperating with others team members:

genuinely value each other
know how to leverage each other's strengths
recognize their interdependence

Diversity and differences are advantages to reach the best outcome. Team members want to see each other success individually and collectively.

Connected

Team members know the best ways to communicate with each other.

Regardless of the challenges of remote/hybrid working, they make it a priority to continue to deepen their connections with one another.

If something impacts their relationship, they use curiosity over judgement to help reconnect and re-align with each other.

Courageous

Though it is easier to stay in the comfort zone, team members regularly step into their growth zone and make sense of experiences through a learning lens.

Open to accepting each other's influence
Engaging honestly and authentically
Valuing vulnerability and taking self-responsibility

This builds team psychological safety, interpersonal trust and a sense of acceptance and belonging.

Committed

When team members:

are clear about the team purpose
participate in establishing team norms and expectations
feel valued for their role on the team

...they are committed to each other and their collective goals.

They support each other to stay accountable and on track in a way that is centered on collective accomplishment and in the spirit of learning forward.

The Adelante Approach

While teams are systems that are greater than the sum of its parts and need to be addressed as such, the component parts of a team must be given attention and development as well.

INDIVIDUALS

A team is a group of unique and autonomous individuals with their own strengths, skills, style, emotional signature, lived experience, and level of well-being.

PAIRS

A team is a group of interdependent and interrelated individuals, each with a unique relationship to each other. These relationships are the second component of a team.
