Move from “who is wrong?” to “what pattern is colliding?”

Move a difficult conversation away from blame and toward the team's shared patterns. Use concrete dimensions and recommendations to identify the tension and agree on a constructive response.

MAKE THE PATTERN DISCUSSABLE

Start with what the team is experiencing.

Conflict is harder to resolve when people can only describe intent or personality. TeamDynamics gives the group neutral language for examining its shared behavior and each person’s experience of it.

A SIMPLE PLAYBOOK

From result to a better way of working.

The assessment creates the shared evidence. The web report and facilitation presentation help the team use it together.

  1. 01

    Lower the temperature

    Start from a shared team result rather than competing stories about individual motives.

  2. 02

    Locate the tension

    Use the four dimensions to identify the specific pattern that is producing friction.

  3. 03

    Agree how to flex

    Choose a situational response the team can test without declaring one style universally better.

THE RELEVANT DIMENSIONS

Put precise language around the work.

TeamDynamics describes four parts of team behavior. For this moment, these are especially useful places to begin.

START THE CONVERSATION

Three questions worth asking.

  1. 01

    Which behavior is useful in one context but costly in another?

  2. 02

    What might a teammate with a different preference experience here?

  3. 03

    What would a fair experiment look like for the next two weeks?

YOUR TEAM, MADE VISIBLE

Add the complete roster once. Everyone contributes to the team result and receives guidance they can use.
