Discover how Team Building can BUILD trust and engagement for your virtual, hybrid or in-person teams.

As a leader, you want an effective team able to deliver high quality results. You want them to work together, solve problems, and take pride in their work.

Yet people are difficult. You know what you need them to do, and for some reason, they do something else. If you find yourself thinking, "Why can't they just do what I tell them to do?" then you're not alone.

It's frustrating.

Add to that the miscommunications, the conflicts, the lack of focus, and disengagement. It’s challenging to create an aligned team.

At Institute Success, we understand how teams can impact your ability to deliver results. We've worked with hundreds of teams, both in-person and virtual, to transform how they communicate and work together so they perform at a higher level.

We use two DISC-based tools to deliver insights. 

The DISC behavioural-style assessment delivers immediate impact and helps your team members understand how they show up, and how others see the world.

The Values assessment is they key to long-term behavior change as it helps people understand their hidden motivations. They understand why they do what they do, and why they AVOID doing what they know they should do.

Values are key to engaging and motivating any team. When you, or any team member, knows the exact words and phrases to frame any message so it's heard clearly, the team dynamic changes instantly. 

When you know that your team member is a "High Economic" and a "High Political", it's easy to phrase a request by using language that cuts through to what motivates them.

"I'd like you to handle this project. I know you'll take the right approach and make certain it has a real impact for our client."

The High Political motivation wants to be in control and make decisions. The High Economic motivation wants to create a result. They are driven to make an impact. This message speaks to both those desires.

However, that same message would leave someone who is a "High Altruist" and a "High Theoretical" cold. They wouldn't hear the message in the same way. A High Altruist wants to help people, and a High Theoretical wants to learn or use research. 

The language for the same message could be altered to connect with their hidden motivations by saying:

"To ensure this project is a success, we need to research the best options, and present them to our client. It's an important project for them, so we need to be certain we're offering them clear options so they can make the best decision."

The real power comes from each team member knowing and understanding how to ethically leverage each other's hidden motivations to drive the work forward. This gives greater connection, tolerance, and engagement. People want to be proud of their work.

The Values assessment gives them the opportunity to understand what motivates them and reframe their own work in terms that excites them.

The Values section of Team Building With Team Insights will forever transform your team's engagement and productivity. The language is similar to DISC so it is neutral, easy to remember, and helps people take true ownership of their strengths and blind spots.

Here's how our Team Building

with Team Insights works:

01
STEP 1: Awareness

Do your team members realize their impact on the team? We use the DISC assessment to give people instant awareness of how they show up at work and how they could adapt. Thoughtfully designed to use unemotional language, it gives individuals a way to understand their strengths, as well guide them to greater awareness of their blind spots.

At a deeper level, they'll gain awareness of their hidden motivations from the more advanced Values assessment. They'll understand why they act in the way they do. Much of human behavior is unconscious. If you decide to have your team members professionally debriefed on their assessments, our coaches use a proven process to guide them to awareness so they are more open to adapting and achieve greater success.

02
STEP 2: Lightbulb moments

Before your team joins us for the live session, a coach will talk with you about what a successful outcome would look like for you and customize the training.

During the session, we'll guide your team through proven exercises. The sessions are engaging, interactive, and impactful.

Your team will appreciate their own strengths, and understand the qualities of other team members.

A natural outcome is for them to align in a common purpose. They become more understanding and tolerant of each other. Key to success is their awareness of "predictable conflict" and how to navigate it using their new common language.


A benefit to you, as a leader, is knowing how to have conversations with people 

03
STEP 3: Behavior change

Our clients tell us the experience is transformational, yet we're aware that our goal is for people's behavior to develop and grow long-term. For some team members, a one-off session gives them the awareness and tools they need to deliver success. 

Others may need more support over a longer time.

After the workshop, we hold a review session with you to create a development plan. If you're developing your people, we're here to ensure the transformation gives you the results you need.

Planning a Team Building Event?

We know planning a Team Building event can be challenging. There are so many pieces that need to align, from people’s calendars to alignment on what leaders want from it.

We’ve created a list of the six most common mistakes people make when planning a team building event… and give you suggestions on how to avoid them.

Nobody wants to run an event that people are reluctant to turn up to, or who feel it wasted their time.

This guide will not only help you avoid the mistakes, it hands you two critical lists of questions:

What does the Team need?
The first are questions to ask the leader so you’re CERTAIN you’re looking for the right type of team building and that it will deliver the results they’re looking for. When you ask them these questions, you’ll feel confident you have the clarity you need.

What are businesses offering?
We know how difficult it can be to compare different team building events. Based on our experience, we’ve created a list of questions we would ask different suppliers to cut through the “marketing messages” and understand what they’ll deliver for you.

Both sets of questions will help you cut through the noise so you are confident you are making the right decision for your team and organization.
