Skills for Teams
Building Team Core Competencies
A group of people working together is not a team. 13 years of studying and working with teams across a broad spectrum of industries has enabled us to create a set of core competencies that real teams the world over share:
- Sense of Purpose
- Commitment to Goal
- Strategic Thinking
- Integrity
- Sense of Team
- Communication
Use these descriptions to consider what aspects your team might benefit from strengthening:
Profile of a Team:
- Team members relate to the team mission as their own; they have a strong personal reason for pursuing it. (Sense of Purpose)
- Team members possess an unshaking commitment to produce the goal - nothing less than a do-or-die mentality. (Commitment to Goal)
- Issues that could hinder the mission's progress are actively sought out and raised. (Strategic Thinking)
- Team members display a genuine ability to produce win-win solutions to team issues. (Communication)
- Team members fulfill on their promises within agreed timelines. (Integrity)
- Team members deliver their piece with one eye constantly on the big picture-the impact their actions will have on team members. (Sense of Team)
We help managers build real teams by diagnosing the source of the team's issues and designing a maximum-impact, minimal-disruption solution.
