It’s like the mythical monster, the many-headed Hydra, which would sprout two or more new heads for each head that was cut off. Two simple approaches to dealing with combinatorial explosions such as this are equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis, but those techniques don’t check for interactions between factors.

A reasonable, manageable way to test combinations is called pairwise testing, but to do it you’ll need a tool. In this inaugural

New Research On High Functioning Leadership Teams Today

It’s commonly understood today that simply hiring great individual leaders won’t be enough to make your company successful. The work of the organization gets done in teams.

We operate in fast-paced environments with big mandates and complex issues so our teams need to work, and they need to work together. There is a compelling, urgent case for inviting teams to look at how they operate together.

Bates’s underlying philosophy is that a team is not a sum of the individuals, but a sum of how they behave together. Bates’s cutting-edge research and methodology includes the groundbreaking Bates Leadership Team Performance Index (LTPI^TM) and Assessment, developed to put teams on the path to high performance and business impact.

Join Andrew Atkins, (LinkedIn profile) Chief Innovation Officer,  Interaction Associates & Michael Seitchik (LinkedIn profile) Director of Research and Assessment, Executive Coach as they reveal new research that proves something has been missing from the way we’ve understood high performing teams.

Learn what’s missing, what it takes to be a high-performing team, how to measure team effectiveness and more.

Learn:

• How the requirements for a high-performing team have changed and why understanding this matters to every team
• The three dimensions that research shows are important to today’s high-performing teams and how they contribute to team success
• The three qualities within those dimensions that have emerged as new game changers– Both/And Thinking, Resilience, and Belonging – and how they help move the needle
• Case examples of real teams, facing real challenges, and how they leveraged these qualities to up their game and deliver high performance
• Take away practical strategies and simple ways to get started developing high-performing teams in your organization.

HR leaders’ No. 1 issue in 2020 is addressing the shortage of critical skills and competencies, according to Gartner.

Boards, CEOs and C-suite executives realize that delivering on their business strategy requires a strong internal bench of critical skills.

The most successful organizations have a defined talent strategy that incorporates a mix of grow, hire, subcontract and acquire. They do not rely on just hiring to fill the gap.

In this Gartner analytics webinar Lindsey Walsh (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Team Manager explores how you can utilize external labor market insights to strengthen your strategy for securing the critical skills you need for business growth.

Discussion Topics:

• Understand the pressing need to adapt traditional approaches
• Leverage real-time labor market data to identify future critical skills before they become a problem
• Preview Gartner TalentNeuron’s newest data capabilities and how they inform a “grow” approach
