High performing teams

A genuinely high performing team brings out the best in all its members, but that rarely happens organically. It takes considered effort to create the conditions to thrive. Drawing on decades of academic research and industry best practice, we’ve brought together the characteristics that enable teams to do their best work.

If you are setting up a brand new team, your team has experienced upheaval or change, or even if it just doesn’t feel like you are all on the same page, these characteristics will help you identify the opportunities to grow and improve together.

Our approach

At Kaleidoscope we take an appreciative approach to conversations about teams and how they work. Appreciative because we know our clients are doing great work, but there is potential to do even more. It is valuable to recognise what is already going well.

We start with an exploratory conversation to understand what is important to you, so we can meet your needs. Each project is tailored very closely and may draw on disciplines like strategy, research or evaluation.

We then bring your team together to co-produce how they can become a higher performing team, and consider what it is that enables them do more of the best work.
