Teamability^®:
The Ability To Connect With Others
To Form A Productive Team

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph,
But a team is greater than the sum of its parts.

Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes Magazine, recently wrote an article entitled “Teams Matter. Talent is Not Enough.”

In essence, it is a challenge for executives to find and exploit the “magic” of team synergy.

The metrics of teaming now exist!  Even the most extraordinary individual effort is no substitute for great teamwork. Teaming metrics are key to improving selection, increasing engagement, and vastly reducing new-hire turnover, all with measurable business value.

With TGI Teamability:
PMs will be able to create extremely strong teams.

In this introduction you will learn:

• A completely new technology will help you understand why talented, experienced people do not always “team” well with others.
• How to reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting,
  • Metrics and methods that measure and predict “teaming” behaviors.
  • How to effectively analyze and solve team performance problems.
• How to deliver significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team
  • The ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams
  • Behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities
• How it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their “Role”).

This is a MUST TAKE opportunity to help you understand the strengths of your team members placing them in the roles that will make your projects even more successful!

Having It All, But Not at the Same Time

Women who have a “Be the Perfect Driver” outlook are bound to be disappointed. In our busy lives, if we see ourselves as having and doing it all at the same time to be perfection, failure is all that we will get.

Superman is a fictional character and so is Superwoman.

If we strive for excellence in certain domains at different times, such as happiness, achievement, and significance, we can leave a legacy of a life well lived.

For a full hour, this program will explore:

1. An assessment of what “having it all” is NOT
2. Techniques of creating your day with gratitude and acknowledgement
3. Looking at the power of language to change a problem into a challenge
4. Having the ability to view your life as reasonably content with moments of ecstasy
5. Devices of modeling, mentoring, and monitoring to move you toward excellen

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
