DOES YOUR TEAM
FEEL LIKE THIS?
Despite lots of activity you may be
experiencing a lack of clarity around
your goals and structure, creating
confusion rather than high performance.
!
Many team’s feel like this. It feels
empty and vacant with no vision or
purpose.
!
There aren’t any clear objectives or
processes. The behaviours and values
are no where to be seen.

WHAT CAN BE

GET YOUR HOUSE
IN ORDER
We are living in an ever-changing
environment, which can leave people feeling
confused, vulnerable and even angry.
For a team to achieve a competitive
advantage it must ‘get its house in order’
and create a ‘mist-free’ environment.
Get Your House in Order is a metaphor for
creating a holistic strategy that will align
individuals to team objectives, processes
and values.
It requires a ‘whole-brain’ approach!

START WITH A VISION
!
!
Getting your house in order starts with a
vision. A high performance team is one
that has purpose and direction.
!
If your team is part of a larger
organisation, it will need to be
strategically aligned to the business
goals.
!
To achieve this you will need to identify
with a desired future state and vision. As
a team, you’ll need to agree what ‘great’
looks and feels like and create an
urgency to move away from the current
situation.

WHAT RESULTS NEED TO
BE ACHIEVED?
You’ll need to unpick your vision into
results. When doing this for yourself or
with your team you can generate as
many as you like.
!
The aim is to identify with 4-5 objectives
that will really make a difference to the
performance of your team.
!
The results will need to be specific,
measurable and within a certain
timeframe.
!

WHAT PROCESS WILL DRIVE
THE RESULTS?
!
!
You now have a vision, which has been
broken down into results, the next step
is to create a process or system (a
machine) that will deliver the results.
!
A good process is key for achieving
consistency.
!
The key to implementing successful
processes and performance indicators is
to align them to the results, which are
aligned to the vision.
!
However just the left side or ‘left
hemisphere’ is not enough to create a
high performing team.

WHAT ARE THE BEHAVIOURS
REQUIRED FOR SUCCESS?
Now that you have a vision, results to
achieve the vision and solid processes in
place to deliver the results. It’s now time
to engage the right hemisphere.
!
Without the right behaviours your team
will not achieve its full potential.
!
You may find a focus on results and
systems work for a period of time but
your team will fail in the long run
without the correct behaviours driving
them.
!
The left side or ‘left-hemisphere’ alone
simply isn’t enough!

WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE
SAYING ABOUT YOUR TEAM?
Image and branding are important to
some more than others. Image may not
be important to you, however Image and
branding at both personal and team
level are key factors when developing a
holistic strategy.
!
The aim is to define what you stand for
as a team.
!
What do you want people saying about
you? How do you want to be seen by
others? What is your mission
statement?
!
This will help your team focus on
external factors such as stakeholders,
clients and even the competition.

WHAT ARE YOUR
TEAM VALUES?
Your house in nearly in order, but
without values it is built on sloppy sand.
!
Team values are the foundations for
driving the right behaviours.
!
Values are essential for achieving a
competitive advantage.
!
Your team will need to believe in the
values and the values will need to be
aligned to their own personal values,
thus creating an emotional connection
rather than just a set of words.
!
They have to live and breathe them!
