Individuals
The building blocks of teams
Where did you grow up?

fall in the sibling order?

challenge of your childhood?

Common Concerns of Individuals in Groups
Goal Alignment Acceptance Decision Making Contribution
What do I want to
accomplish?
Will I belong? Will I be heard?
Who is in control? Will I
have some control?
Where are we going? Can I be myself? What are your concerns?
Who does what, where,
when?
Do I want to go?
Will you accept my role,
ideas, me?
Will you hear my
concerns?
Can I rely on you?
What is the purpose of
this team?
Do you have unspoken
motives?
Will I have access to the
right information?

Teams live and die by how well
their Vision comes to life
Passion and authority come to leaders who
clearly know where they are going and have
dedication to succeed
When leaders have passion and authority,
others are inspired to follow
Can your team members share the vision on
demand?
© iPerformance Consultants
Never Underestimate the Importance of
Acceptance, Trust, & Knowing the needs of your team
• If they feel you know that, they’ll jump on board with goals, roles,
responsibilities with minimal questions
• It may take longer initially, but makes your life easier in the long run
• Trust = (integrity x competence) / risk

“I ran so would not have to fight the war in Algeria.”
Michael Jazey (1965, 3:53)
“I ran to get a letter jacket, a girlfriend.”
Jim Ryun (1965, 3:51)
“I ran to be known as the greatest runner of all time.”
Noureddine Morcelli (1993, 3:44)
“I ran because I was meant to run.”
Sebastion Coe (1981, 3:47)

Barriers to Coordination
• Pre factors
• lack of collaborative readiness by organization
• Process factors
• poor leadership
• ineffective communication
• interpersonal issues
• differing expectations for outcomes
© iPerformance Consultants
Keys to Change
• Consistency
“If you have an important point to make, don’t try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point
once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time with a tremendous whack!” Winston
Churchill
• Training
• Patience for the learning process to happen
• Measurement driven feedback
• Culture
• Attitudinal competencies matter

Beverly Potter from Conflict To Cooperation
"The more you defend yourself, the more attacks you'll invite. A
vicious cycle sets in because the attacker thinks you aren't
listening. And it's true. The very act of defending involves telling
others that they're wrong and you're right."
© iPerformance Consultants
Kouzes & Posner
“If you don’t believe in the messenger, you won’t believe the
message.”
“You can’t believe in the messenger, if you don’t know what the
messenger believes.”
© iPerformance Consultants
Warren Bennis
“I am surer now than ever that the process of becoming a leader
is the same process that makes a person a healthy, fully
integrated human being. And it is the same process that allows
one to age successfully.”
