Why Teams?

than individual efforts

• Collaboration sustains adaptive change

• Collaborative cultures lead to higher

student achievement

members and leaders elsewhere in the system

Key Ideas About Teams

“A team is a relatively small number of people that share common

goals as well as the rewards and responsibilities for achieving them.” (Lencioni, 2005)

“Expert groups are made, not born.” (Garmston, 2012)

“All groups work at less than full potential.” (Garmston, 2012)

“Each group is unique.” (Garmston, 2012)

“…no quality or characteristic is more important than trust.” (Lencioni, 2005)

list of all the teams in place

at your school.

How many did your team

come up with?

The Mary Poppins Principle

“The emphasis on human relations management has resulted in the value of congeniality becoming very strong in the way schools are

managed and led.

Congeniality has to do with the climate of interpersonal relationships

within an enterprise.

When the climate is friendly, agreeable, and sympathetic, congeniality

is high. Though congeniality is pleasant and often desirable, it is not

independently linked to better performance and quality schooling.”

(Thomas Sergiovanni, 2004)

Benevolence

is not

Congeniality!

“Groups that ignore inappropriate member behavior in an attempt to avoid conflict

decrease their ability to solve problems that are

often conspicuous. Avoiding conflict often

results in hostility and decreased performance.”

Workable Trust

• Trust is the foundation of teamwork

• On a team, trust is all about vulnerability,

which is difficult for most people

• Building trust takes time, but the process can

be greatly accelerated

• Trust on a team is never complete; it must be

maintained over time

14

Click to edit Master title style

Click to edit Master subtitle style

2/10/2020 41

Members of Teams that Lack Trust

• Conceal their weaknesses and mistakes

• Don’t ask for help or give constructive feedback

• Hesitate to offer help outside their own responsibilities

• Jump to conclusions about others’ intentions• Fail to recognize others’ skills and abilities• Waste time and energy managing behaviors

• Hold grudges

• Dread and avoid meetings

Click to edit Master title style

Click to edit Master subtitle style

2/10/2020 42

Trust matters most in

situations of interdependence, .

in which the interests of one party cannot be

achieved without reliance upon another…above all things,

trust is expressed in one’s willingness to be vulnerable…

to place oneself at risk by confessing one’s flaws, needs, hopes, and fears.

Megan Tschannen-Moran, Trust Matters and Patrick Lencioni, Five Dysfunctions of a Team

2/10/2020 43

Members of Trusting Teams

• Admit weaknesses and mistakes

• Ask for help

• Accept questions and input about their work

• Give others the benefit of the doubt

• Offer feedback and assistance

• Focus time and energy on important issues

Overcoming Lack of Trust

• Group development activities

• Style/personality inventories

• Team effectiveness assessments

Click to edit Master title style

Click to edit Master subtitle style

2/10/2020 46

Style Profiling

• Gives team members an objective way to understand and

describe one another

• Increases the likelihood that people will open up and

acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses

• By giving a common vocabulary for describing strengths

and weaknesses, it becomes safe to give feedback without

seeming accusatory or making unfounded generalizations

True Colors

• An inventory to help you understand your own personality

style/type and the personality style/type of your teammates

• Promotes appreciation of individual differences

• A metaphor

• Each person is a unique blend of four colors or styles –a veritable rainbow!

• There are no “good” or “bad” colors• There are wide individual variations within each color

Compare all four boxes in each row.

Do not analyze each word, just get a sense of each box.

1 - Score each of the four boxes in each row from most to least like you.

4 = most like you 2 = somewhat like you

3 = a lot like you 1 = least like you

2 - Tally the scores for the items in each of the colored boxes at the bottom.

This will give you your True Colors.

3 - Read about your color spectrum. DO NOT share your results with your

table/team members at this time.

out to accomplish

individual or department results

keep them visible

“Reflection, it turns out, is key to growth... This universal truth holds: Any group too busy to

reflect about its work is too busy to improve.

Effective teams are conscious about what

makes them effective. They possess knowledge

about being a productive group.”
