“Rob helped us achieve in one day what we tried to do as a team for five months…”

Effective collaboration among team members can be the engine that drives a company to success. One of the biggest challenges any team faces is the fact that a team comprises individuals – with unique personalities, egos and idiosyncrasies.

The RVB Associates approach to team development starts with individual coaching to identify behaviors, actions and other obstacles that may get in the way of optimal collaboration. Then, the entire team is presented with ideas for how best to harness the collective persona and employ it to the company’s best advantage. Our team development workshops are tailored to the specific needs of each team and its role within the organization. Specific emphasis is placed on recognizing groupthink, and on highlighting a team’s assets and liabilities in a way that produces results.

What we do for teams

1. In-depth diagnostic, gap analysis and action planning
2. Independent and team-based exercises aimed at understanding the team dynamic and its impact on business results
3. Skill development and coaching (both individual and team-based)
4. Assigning relevant reading material from such sources as Harvard Business Review Press and Wharton School Press
5. Identifying the roles that various team members play, including determining how and when team leaders must also act as team players
6. Identifying specific, measurable actions that will strengthen a team’s assets
7. Identifying specific, measurable actions that will reduce or eliminate a team’s liabilities

Of course, we welcome your feedback at every stage of the process.
