Introduce The Growth Rings in Your Next Team Meeting

Top-notch team leaders and coaches know that team development meetings are important to building cohesive, high-performing teams. They can be a great way to step away from daily grind activities and focus on often neglected, yet extremely critical, work-impacting topics such as:

• Developing strategies and work plans

• Creating shared goals

• Communicating and building relationships

• Discovering and shaping (and even repairing) team dynamics

But let’s be blunt. Team development meetings often have a bad reputation. They can easily be perceived as unproductive and stealing time from actually getting the work done. Often times this is because they are poorly planned and impersonal to the people taking part in them. And this is totally understandable.

Team leaders often have little time or desire to invest in preparing content or researching ways to lead a worthwhile activity or discussion. Even though leaders and coaches see the importance of these development opportunities, executing one effectively takes time and effort to come up with a plan.

To help overcome these obstacles, we have created an easy to use guide for team leaders and coaches to use in their next team development meeting using the results their team members received from taking the Growth Rings Indicator (GRI) Quiz. This guide centers on how to use the GRI within a group setting to help your team find work environments that foster and encourage high performance.
