Emergent Teams

Teams outperform individuals and working groups due to their diversity, responsiveness, adaptability, and creativity. The ability of team members to work together in today’s ever changing environment requires a new and dynamic model of team formation. Cairn Consulting imagines team formation as having three phases – Self-Awareness, Self-Discipline, and Self-Direction – all operating in the context of Performance. Self-Awareness produces the team’s capacity to be High-Functioning, creating and maintaining the relationships needed for learning and resilience. Self-Discipline encourages the exploration and innovation required for High-Achievement. Self-Direction creates a culture of High-Performance, motivating and pulling the team forward in a sustainable fashion. Fueling these three phases is an iterative process of Identity, Imagination, and Integration.

This program works when:

• Your high-performing teams are under stress

• Collaboration and communication need to be improved

• Organizational silos are reducing effectiveness and learning
