When the water gets rough, teams lose their way. In 2015 Harvard Business School studied 95 teams within 25 leading companies and found that 75% of cross-functional teams are dysfunctional! Yet, we know from study after study that the effectiveness of a team impacts an employee’s overall performance. After too many years of working with ineffective leaders and teams that spend too much time talking, not enough time executing and often paddling in different directions; Lauralee set out to understand how to get teams out of dysfunction and ready to take on the rough waters ahead. From there, the Top Teams® Model was born, this process provides a methodology for collaborating across functions, departments, organizations, and distances.

During this 90 minute presentation and breakout, there is an overview of research about teams, what it takes to create a high performing team and then an opportunity for the participants to assess their own team’s performance.
