We have hundreds of years of combined experience and collective knowledge working inside and alongside truly high performing teams; we have observed, studied and researched such teams in all sorts of environments – elite sports, special forces, front line emergency workers as well as organisations of all sizes. One thing we know is that being in a High Performing Team is not easy. There is disagreement, competition and ego. It is just that in a high performing team these things are recognized, made visible, and openly discussed. These normal, human traits are used to pull the team together – especially when things get tough.
About High Performing Teams
I have been a manager and leader working for over 40 years. I’ve never taken part in a course as practical and engaging as this one. The program acted as a way for the new leadership team to bond and grow close in a safe and trusting environment. Senior Manager, Big Pharma
Sladen’s high performing teams compass provided a brilliant road map to guide us in streamlining our processes. Not only that, but also the conversations have strengthened our relationships. I’ve already seen that we can achieve more. VP, Global Consulting
The Leadership Team have become more effective as a result of their participation. They had conversations they have never had. I feel that their trust in each other is so much higher allowing them to move faster in decision making and there was far less ‘politics’.Team member, Financial Institution.
How we can help.
We believe we have co-defined what it takes to build and operate in a High Performing Team - the secret ingredients that are common amongst all such groups. We would love to share our nine principles of a High Performing Team. In addition, our six-step guide is used around the world in a tool we call the Team Compass. This compass helps teams create a common vision, ways of working and a deep understanding of each other – these are the ingredients needed to grow and sustain trust.
