Is Your Team Suffering From Lack of Team Trust, Communication or Dysfunction?
Teams are expected to perform at high levels and deliver consistent results, yet most teams haven’t been given a framework or training on how to best function – as a team.
When teams aren’t in sync it creates stress and conflict within the group and takes a toll on business productivity. Enhancing skills in critical areas like conflict resolution, communication and team trust, can quickly turn a dysfunctional team into a winning team.
KerrHill’s Team Building process provides teams with proven methods, tools, assessments, and interactive exercises to help them consistently achieve high-performance outcomes.
“Unlike other team building programs, our program has built-in metrics to measure a team’s performance. The results show us that on average teams increased their performance by 35% within the first six months of taking our program.”
– George Phirippidis, CEO

The KerrHill team process made it safe for us all to open up and discuss some tough topics that were holding us back. We now have a great baseline for taking our teamwork to next level with the tools and processes that were brought in for the sessions. Thank you!”

KerrHill utilizes 2 team building models in its team building sessions.
The 1st model – The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Covers the most important five elements of building a high-performance team.
- Absence of trust – learn the true meaning of trust within teams
- Fear of conflict – understand how conflict can have a positive impact on teams
- Lack of commitment – ensure all team members have clarity on the same goals
- Avoidance of accountability – create comfort in calling out team members on unproductive behaviors
- Inattention to results – great teams never lose sight of their goals
Note: When using the Five Dysfunctions of a team model, team members will receive a comprehensive Team Assessment Report (TAR) to evaluate how well they are functioning in the five levels above. The report becomes a current and future benchmark for team performance.
2nd model - The Team Effectiveness Factors (TEF)
The Team Effectiveness Factors (TEF)
The TEF model is tailored to each team. It focuses on specific team dynamics and skills they want and need to adopt to become a high-performance team.
- A high performance team is observed in action via video
- Key success team traits are selected from video
- Team selects their desired team factors
- The team rates their level of performance against selected factors
- Metrics and action plans are created
