The goal of Teamstyles is to assist team members communicate openly and honestly about how they see themselves and both give and receive feedback from their peers.
After a short exercise participants will be able to validate their results and join in the peer review process.
Rather than taking a traditional psychometric approach Teamstyles is all about communication. It is the process which dynamically demonstrates how style impacts on communication.
Teams who use it report that, compared with other assessments they have used, Teamstyles is simple to understand and allows open communication to occur. It is available in two versions; the standard version Teamstyles (Team Style Indicator) for work teams and the abbreviated version (Teametrics) for project teams or seminar groups.
The Teamstyles workshop can be completed in 4 hours and in the abbreviated Teametrics process, in less than 2 hours.

‘Ó wad some pow'r the giftie gie us, to see oursels as ithers see us'
To a Louse, Robert Burns
Good teams encourage open communication,
healthy debate and celebrate the strengths that different
styles bring to a team. However, with the ever increasing
demand for change world wide, teams are under greater pressure
than ever, and unfortunately personality conflicts increase
with that pressure.
Building the commitment and
involvement of employees is one of the greatest challenges
of the new century. Leadership, effective communication
and the empowerment of people are essential elements
for the long term success of companies and organisations.
No organisation can claim security in strategic planning if
it fails to acknowledge the critical importance of its people.
