FAQs for team performance

Why do individuals and teams succeed or fail? 

A critical driver for individual and team success is mindset. Behavior-based performance programs (time management, organizational skills, process improvements, for example) overlook the underlying mindsets that cause conflict and productivity issues. In contrast, organizations see significant performance improvements when their transformation efforts are based on mindset change as a foundation for behavioral change.

How does mindset influence team performance?

Performance issues are often rooted in conflict that can harm the organizational culture and morale. Overcoming conflict requires people to reconsider their impact on the people around them. By empowering team members to approach their relationships with a new, outward mindset, conflict is replaced by collaboration, innovation, and improved productivity.
