John,

Nothing derails teamwork faster than workplace friction.

When teammates are at odds, time and energy is spent avoiding, circumventing, or attempting to resolve conflict rather than achieving goals. And conflict doesn’t just lead to poor results, it impacts morale and engagement and threatens relationships.

Some teams think they can fast track results or solve deep-seated relationship or personality conflicts with team-building activities and manager pep talks. Can you relate?

It’s time to ditch traditional team building in favour of a learning experience that will actually help teams resolve friction and improve performance.

Our new course, Crucial Teams® (currently available in English only), helps teammates transform personality differences from a source of friction into a source of strength. Leveraging the Strength Deployment Inventory and skills to improve interactions, it helps people develop greater self-awareness and an increased understanding of their colleagues. When you understand why you experience friction with others—and why others might feel friction with you—you can turn frustration into appreciation for different viewpoints and ways of working. And ultimately, you can build better relationships and teams.

Teamwork takes more than talent. Success depends on how well people work together. Crucial Teams can help.
