Would you like your teams to be more than the sum of their
parts, teams which exceed expectations, rather than just "get
by", exceptionally talented teams that everyone wants
to work with and be a part of?
Cognitive Team Roles is a unique psychometric based model that identifies the thinking processes of teams and partnerships
and maps their cognitive strengths and weaknesses, preferences
and flexibilities. Our research has shown that there are certain
ways of thinking that are critical to the success of a team
and which can be behaviourally represented as recognisable
‘roles’. Using the Cognitive Team Role Wheel’s
revolutionary approach to team dynamics, you can help your
teams to:
| • |
Develop self awareness of their individual and team
thinking preferences and flexibilities |
| • |
Balance their focus of attention appropriately on thinking,
doing, achieving |
| • |
Identify any critical areas of weakness before they
affect performance |
|
|
The Cognitive Team Role model uses Thinking Styles to identify
each team member’s preference for thinking in each of
the team roles. The team’s preferences and flexibilities
are mapped on to the Cognitive Team Role Wheel to identify
the strengths, potential weaknesses, synergies and potential
conflicts inherent within the team. Each member of the team
receives a copy of the team’s profile and a suggested
action plan for team development.
| • |
Increase the performance of your teams through giving
them the confidence to delegate. |
| • |
Enhance respect and trust for themselves and for their
role within the team. |
| • |
Reduce the stresses that being in a team can bring. |
| • |
Hep your teams release their energy and maintain the
buzz. |
| • |
Help teams to cope successfully with new situations. |
| • |
Identify potential areas of weakness or critical areas
using visual mapping before problems arise. |

Cognitive Team Roles is suitable for partnerships and teams
of up to ten people at any level.
Understanding how thinking underpins behaviour and drives
success and recognising the cognitive strengths and flexibilities
of members of the team creates high performing teams.
Cognitive Team Roles has been used successfully with:
| • |
High performing teams to help them maintain their levels
of excellence. |
| • |
Partnerships where the business is at a critical point
in its life cycle. |
| • |
Project teams, where the appropriate balance is needed
between focusing on the task and managing the people. |
| • |
Newly formed teams who need to develop mutual respect
and trust. |
| • |
External teams, where it offers a common and non threatening
"language". |
| • |
Dysfunctional teams identifying areas of conflict and
offering strategies to manage these. |
