PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE LEAD NAVIGATOR
Hey dude…What is your problem?
A couple of years ago Smokey the cat showed up in our yard and decided he needed a family to adopt him. We were the lucky family. He lives outside and he hates cold weather. To keep him off our cars, I placed a heating pad on top of our freezer in our garage. He plops himself on the heating pad and pretty much sits there like a King on his throne all winter. As long as someone feeds him and keeps him warm he is happy and content.
Smokey reminds me of people I know and businesses I have worked with. They are happy and content and ignore the problems around them until a crisis occurs.
So . . . what is your problem? Are your facing a crisis? If you are not familiar with the services we provide, visit this page or just pick up the phone and call.

TEAMS Analysis (Teams Evolving And Mastering Success) Survey
Does your team work effectively?
The TEAMS Analysis Survey is an online assessment that measures the key characteristics and issues affecting team performance. The purpose of the Survey is to discover, quantify, clarify and take action on each team member’s experience and concerns. It works like a 360 feedback survey allowing each team member to provide input. The key areas addressed are:
Work Management: how the team determines and manages the specific tasks and resources related to its mission.
Relationships: feelings, attitudes and behaviors that most reflect the team’s interpersonal relationships.
Processes: group functions such as participation, meeting management, learning, creativity and many other items.
Leadership: how the Team Leader functions to support and facilitate all aspects of the team process and the specific elements of team functioning.
At the end of the survey process, you will be provided with a clear understanding of the current characteristics and dynamics that prevail within the team. This information will be used to guide the team to address the main areas that impede peak performance in terms of communication and collaboration.
