Developing teams that work together effectively.
We positively reshape team experiences through research-driven methods and a strengths-based approach.
Our Methodology
We create opportunities to reshape teaming experiences by having the Georgia Institute of Technology community ask themselves three key questions:
1
Who Am I?
What makes me unique? What talents do I have? How do I approach things? How do I express what I do best and what excites/energizes me?
2
How Do I Team?
How do I interact with others? How do I understand the diversity that others have? How can I see what others bring to the table? How do I bring my best self to the team?
3
How Do We Team?
What conversations do we need to have to understand and navigate through team dynamics? How can our team work interdependently to get excellent outcomes?
We Work with All Teams
Undergraduate students, graduate students,
faculty & staff, and all professionals!
“It is as though the Five Finger Pulse Check gave the students permission and motivation to tell what was bothering them because I think we would not have learned about these issues otherwise. We made changes in the class meeting format and each sub-team had action items, resulting from the exercise. It was a great investment of our time and energy.”
“I firmly believe that the implementation of Effective Team Dynamics into our curriculum has provided more tools to successfully communicate and resolve internal conflicts within a team.”
“Not only did my students learn more about how to identify their own strengths; they also learned more about how good teams consist of members with complementary strengths. Students ended up with higher functioning teams and some of the strongest team projects I’ve had delivered to me in nearly 10 years of teaching.”
“The process of learning each others’ strengths and making sure that tough conversations were being almost forced as a means to complete an assignment actually helped bring up some of the underlying issues that nobody really wanted to address.”
