5 DYSFUNCTIONS OF A TEAM

THEY improv helps companies throughout Canada to think outside the box and to get outside perspective on issues that directly effect the bottom line. We can consult with your group and listen to your needs. We come at it with a mind's eye of finding the best approach or your group to better achieve their goals.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team take certain modes of behavior and bring them into focus. While the reality is usually more of a blend between the problems, they help to exemplify the challenges faced by executives and can help to challenge them to overcome these problems.

Each of these Five Dysfunctions can be attacked through the use of improvisational techniques. For example, Status and Ego can be challenged through the use of techniques to help employees be seen as human beings as opposed to job titles. This fosters more of a sense of camaraderie. By then pulling together and not worrying about internal office positioning, they focus more on the goals of the organization.

DYSFUNCTION VS. DISFUNCTION

DISFUNCTION

The DIS at the beginning means NOT. So DISFUNCTION is a lack of function.

DYSFUNCTION

The DYS at the beginning means AWAY FROM THE NORM. So DYSFUNCTION is a function outside of the defined boundries.


By then being responsible for the success of one another, the bar is raised for the whole organization. Drawing from their own needs, they are provided with a feeling of accomplishment and the mutual ability and desire to succeed.


Various exercises can help to provide focus and unity of purpose. They drive the group into dividing responsibilities towards a common goal. These can also be accomplished outside of a workshop session and in more entertaining modes, such as a scavenger hunt or mini-Olympiad.


Internal conflicts can be dealt with more easily as the bonds between employees are built. There is more trust and the ability to identify and deal with conflicts allows problems to stop festering and be dealt with once and for all. The goal should be, as is one of our corporate precepts, to stop problems before they become problems.


We also reduce the island mentality and help everyone to see how the problems of others can effect their own sphere of influence. Everything is interconnected, and while it is often a problem of employees to not see the broader picture, our exercises help to expand the understanding of employees.
