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."

60 Seconds on the Team Clock
Making Your Values More Than a Poster
As a guiding light, most organizations name their core values and weave them into new employee orientation and professional development training sessions. Many workplaces even make them criteria for performance evaluation to ensure that everyone stays true to workplace culture. Usually, they find their way onto a poster or get painted on a wall for all to see. The real question is whether they exist as nouns or verbs.
Three Minutes and Twenty-four Seconds of Accountability
My teammates are unaware of, and probably unconcerned with, the amount of time I’ve devoted to preparation. They simply expect me to show up and make my contribution. We have a four-hour event and my section is three minutes and twenty-four seconds in duration – less than 2% of the product. Because it’s a concert showcasing student and faculty performances, each of us shares accountability for being at the top of our game in the moments on stage. Rehearsing and cleaning up mistakes is largely done alone, so the interdependence is invisible – yet very much real.
