Successful team members don't do the same thing at the
same time. They do the right thing at the right time.
And while team members work together toward a common goal,
individuals still must play their individual roles in
the process. As organizations rely more and more on teams
to innovate, problem solve, produce, and compete at the
speed of change, clearly understanding and capitalizing
on individual approaches to group processes is the bottom
line on creating high performance teams.
Discover the Right Roles
for the Right People
The Team Dimension Profile identifies four key roles
in team performance:
Creator: Generates original
concepts, goes beyond the obvious, and sees the big
picture. Hands off tasks to an Advancer.
Advancer: Recognizes new opportunities, develops
ways to promote ideas, and moves toward implementation.
Hands off tasks to a Refiner.
Refiner: Challenges and
analyzes ideas to detect potential problems and may
hand plans back to an Advancer or Creator before handing
off tasks to an Executor.
Executor: Lays the groundwork
for implementation, manages the details, and moves the
process to completion.
The profile presnts the “Z Process” to
map the flow of assigning roles, completing tasks, and
handing off tasks to other team members. Using the four
roles in the “Z Process” gets new teams
moving forward quickly and gets current teams unstuck.
