These kinds of teams are ready for your next evolution of business and can create great momentum into your organization’s future.
Tools and Methods
Cultural Strategies, LLC employs a number of industry leading tools, pedagogies, and frameworks to build your teams into the best possible versions of themselves.
Builder Profile 10™
Gallup©Gallup’s newest assessment, BP10 charts the talents that all people have as Business Builders. For entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and everyone in between, nothing helps you better than leaning into your innate talents about HOW you build your organization. But how can you lean into them if you don’t know what they are or which of the 10 are your strongest ones?
TeamingAcumen™ Framework
Global Builders’ ConsortiumHow does your team stack up on their interactions with each other? Does it get stuck in company politics or silos? How can you get it “unstuck” so that each person understands the team’s rules of engagement and follows the path of team development?
Conversational Intelligence®
The CreatingWE InstituteLearn how to navigate from a Level 1 conversation (Transactional) to a Level 3 conversation (Transformational) where breakthroughs can happen. As teams learn how to mature, your conversational exchanges should mature with them, yet so many of us live without understanding that we have an undeveloped and often harming style of conversation that rips teams apart instead of infusing them with the good that we seek.
Overcoming The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
LencioniAs the only Strengths-based version of Lencioni’s concepts inside his iconic book, our Overcoming The Five Dysfunctions of a Team assessment and learning leans heavily on Lencioni’s classic concepts, while giving Strengths-based organizations a way to continue to harness their Strengths evolution by addressing and rectifying dysfunctional behaviors which may have crept into each team from years of pre-existing problems.
CliftonStrengths
GallupGallup’s venerated assessment that helps you discover “Who am I?” and “What do I give this organization or this team to help it do our work?” CliftonStrengths has been taken by over 26M people around the world. Nothing is more powerful than a person knowing how they are uniquely wired and what they give to our world. This assessment changed our lives!
