Build a balanced, effective team

Question:

Are you running an optimised team for maximum effectiveness?

Answer:

At The Alpha Group we make certain that you evaluate the personality types in your team and plan how to achieve a balanced, effective team.

So, how does this happen?

Easy, its a six step-process using the power of the peer-to-peer advisory board.

Firstly the peer-to-peer advisory board help you identify what is your strategic problem.

Companies need teams of talented, committed and empowered individuals in order to achieve fast, sustained business growth.

However, even if companies have these individuals, they can still fail because your teams just don’t get things done collectively. In these companies there is a lack of the team types for success i.e. your teams lack balance and effectiveness.

Secondly the peer-to-peer advisory board help you assess themselves at work.

you pick 10 from any of the characteristics in the list below that best describe you at work in your team.

I find new opportunities.
I make lots of contacts.
I thrive under pressure.
I communicate well.
I am persuasive.

I bring out the best in people
I am an excellent listener. I am good at clarifying goals
I am self-controlled
I am dominant (but not domineering).

I make things happen
I focus on results.

I am dynamic
I have drive

I am a good judge of options
I analyse problems

2 Which primary team types do you have many of?

3 Who needs to use your secondary types more to create your more effective team?
