Conflict within teams is frustrating, time-consuming and expensive.
HR are finding themselves constantly putting fires out and unable to focus on important strategic initiatives.
Investigations and stress claims are time-consuming and expensive.
Your Leaders are stuck trying to sort out people issues - instead of concentrating on the job the team needs to do.
There is an increased risk of good Leaders and team members leaving.
Wanting to reduce friction in their teams.
Losing time dealing with people-issues when they could be doing the work they were employed to do.
Noticing the team feels awkward and people are disengaging.
Worried good people will leave their team and concerned about the time and energy wasted replacing them.
Concerned they are going to be accused of bullying when they hold people accountable or make unpopular changes.
Shakeable: Teams who are shakeable have the highest risk of bullying, harassment, and stress claims. They feel dis-empowered and dis-engaged. They react to challenge and change. They need to focus on care because they are in danger of burnout or leaving the organisation.
Stressed: If teams are stressed their productivity and engagement is reduced. According to Dr. Bruce Perry, connection is the best buffer to stress. It’s important they team members connect with themselves, their purpose, their teams, and their organisation.
Stable: Teams who sit at the stable level have good days and bad days. Their productivity is inconsistent. Their confidence is on rocky ground. It’s important they build up their confidence to avoid slipping down into the stressed or shakeable level.
Strong: When teams are strong, their next challenge is increasing their courage to have the often-difficult conversations that need to be had and back themselves as they make courageous leadership decisions. They courageously face challenges and change head-on.
Unshakeable: Unshakeable teams have the lowest risk of bullying, harassment, and stress claims. The team members are empowered and engaged. They have a choice in how they respond to challenges and change.
Mindset: Concentrates on the individuals developing useful beliefs, thinking styles, and increasing flexibility in their thinking. The benefit will be individuals who are more open to listening to others, more agile in their approach, and more self-aware.
Power: Focuses on the power to choose and be responsible and accountable for their beliefs, emotions, actions, and words. This means they are more likely to provide useful feedback and hold others accountable. They will have the courageous conversations that many teams avoid.
Esteem: Explores how individuals choose to value themselves and consider themselves as worthy. They learn to separate their self-worth from their performance. This means they are better equipped to receive feedback and make the changes suggested to them to take their skills to the next level.
