What is Team Clock®?
Team Clock® transforms teams, impacting company culture and morale. By identifying and addressing the obstacles interfering with performance, teams can spend more time focusing on their work and less time on the politics of their workplace. Team Clock gives teams the tools they need to adapt to change and repair themselves for the lifespan of the entity.

How We Help
All relationships travel through cycles of growth and change. Whether it’s two people in a partnership, a team of people with a common goal or an organization with a mission, the living entity evolves through predictable stages. At the beginning, the team makes an INVESTMENT in a future together and carefully defines its direction. As the team becomes close and discovers how to work out differences, TRUST becomes the fuel for connection. The foundation of shared values and accountability becomes a platform for INNOVATION. This exploration creates change, which requires some DISTANCING to adjust to what has been lost, refuel and adapt to the new circumstances.
"Teams are messy. Conflict is unavoidable. Dynamics flow with the circumstances, mindsets, and emotions of the members involved. Graduates of top-tier schools are exceptional individual performers, but often struggle in teams."

How Am I Doing?
We tend to stumble over the same obstacles over and over again. Each stumble has its own features but is likely to follow a pattern unique to us. Maybe it’s the consequences of being chronically late or perhaps the impact of being obsessively on time. Maybe it’s the result of craving order when times are chaotic or perhaps what follows when your pile of clutter grows out of control. Whatever your private theme happens to be, the realization that it repeats offers you an opportunity for growth.
Employee Engagement is Hard to Measure
Employee engagement is a great example of a workplace culture feature we try to capture. There are many variables. In the end, retention tells the story. Unless they have normalized the dysfunction of a toxic workplace, most people use their current unsatisfactory workplace as a funding source for their job hunt. If you are disengaged, you are paid to sleepwalk through your job and your engagement energy is devoted to your next gig. Wouldn’t it be nice to know whether your team was in or out before the resignation letter?
