Description

Recently we chatted with Sandra Hannah on the People Leaders Podcast. Sandra is a customer operations manager at City West Water and a participant in a 9-month leadership program we ran in 2018.

Sandra used our High-Performing Team Indicator (HPTI) with her team and told us, “I used the High-Performing Team tool because I wanted to find out exactly how my team felt. You can question your team, but there are some people who sit back and don’t say anything but really want to.“Quieter team members sometimes have the best suggestions but they don’t want to put themselves forward in team meetings, so the High-Performing Team Assessment Tool is great for them as individuals.”

Sandra also shared that the results of the tool stimulated valuable discussion amongst the team members. She said that hearing each other’s point of view gave them a better understanding of they dynamic of the team. The discussion was so productive that their one hour team debrief turned into a two hour session.“The High-Performing Team Assessment Tool was set out well and was easy for people to follow. People have different learning styles, but everybody was able to participate and give their own opinion.”And if you want to find out what your team really thinks, you access our new online version of the High-Performing Team Indicator tool here.
