“None of us is as smart as all of us.”

Ken Blanchard

ARC Leadership Associates helps teams reach new levels of performance. Our approach is designed to fit your unique situation and needs. With a focus on the qualities that make great teams successful, we promote your team’s ability to communicate openly and directly. We work with them to develop operating rules, clarify roles and responsibilities, align individual and team goals, and build trust. We also enable them to manage conflict productively. Our goal is to increase your team’s effectiveness and improve results.

Team Performance Evaluation and Coaching

Team members often don’t have a good sense of each other’s style, strengths, and blind spots. We help your team understand these differences and collectively use this perspective to improve performance. We can work with your team to:

Assess individual work styles and communication preferences
Identify key benchmarks of high performance teams
Map the group strengths and development opportunities
Create an action plan that capitalizes on strengths, addresses gaps, and improves processes
Establish accountability structures to support real change
Determine metrics to evaluate performance

Issue Facilitation

Teams often disagree over issues or future direction. We focus on converting these challenging situations into a productive growth experience that moves your team forward. We can work with your team to:

Create an open and constructive forum to discuss issues
Ensure all viewpoints are aired and fully understood
Facilitate constructive evaluation of alternatives against goals
Gain group buy-in for the decision/solution to ensure progress

Team Innovation

Teams can get stuck when charged with creating something new, expanding the range of options for a significant challenge, or creatively solving a tough problem. We serve as a kick-start to get your team “unstuck.” We can help your team:

Understand and clearly frame the problem or task
Use developmental thinking techniques to approach the challenge from multiple angles
Create a broad set of potential solutions
Select and refine the best ideas
Overcome possible obstacles and objections
Build commitment around the idea/solution
