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."

60 Seconds on the Team Clock
Why Are You?
I greeted a friend recently with the question “How are you?” A freight train happened to be passing by at the moment I asked so she misheard the words as “Why are you?” Her answer surprised me. In less than 30 seconds, she served up a theme-based version of her life story. It was a veritable purpose statement. It got me thinking about how many of us are seeking direction when the destination has already been well established. Perhaps it’s just the path that hasn’t yet been chosen.
Let’s Play Red-light Green-light
When you are stuck, the choice to move forward doesn’t happen until the cause is addressed. Often, teams push ahead without a diagnosis and inadvertently send the roots of the problem deeper. You can make it go away temporarily with some quick action but, unless the root cause is managed, it is sure to come back. Most likely, it will return in a form that is harder to solve. We live in a time when making symptoms disappear as quickly as possible drives decision making. What would happen if we didn’t?
