Team members want to do a good job!  But people are complicated, and it’s not always easy to connect with and be productive with others that think and work differently from ourselves.

Show your team how their differences are your organization’s biggest strength. Give them the language and tools to harness their collective super-powers and turn conflict into innovation.

Developing connected teams that understand and value one another’s working styles and natural strengths – transforms what they can achieve together!

Certified Succession Planning Advisors

Business owners and leaders are focused on getting things done and growing the business. The succession and exit-planning process is a mystery to most and it’s hard to know where to start.  But there are costs to waiting.

Our system simplifies the process and integrates into your foundational strategic plan and the work you are already doing

 

 

Transformation - not "Training"

Why did you choose to work with Edgewise?

What has your family team been able to accomplish that you otherwise couldn't have?

What difference did the work we did make with the team dynamics and relationships?

Teamwork...the single most untapped competitive advantage

 "If you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time."

Patrick Lencioni, Best-Selling Author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team 

Reconnect People to Create a Culture of Initiative, Innovation and Accountability

Get Teams on the Same Page, Speaking the Same Language

Inside most organizations, teams speak different "languages". Team members typically understand your customers through the language spoken within their functional area, creating disconnects & dysfunction between Leadership, Sales, and Operations teams.

When everyone starts speaking the way customers think, aligning objectives is easier, translating into uncovered opportunity & ways to create competitive advantage.

Help Team Members "Rediscover" One Another, and Your Customers

Do your team members know there are two kinds of customers?

Organizations that sustain a Culture of Connection, develop teams that are committed to fulfilling the needs of external and internal customers.

When team members commit to both, they communicate in ways that resonate with one another, and collective energy can be focused on what customers need, how they need it, why they need it that way - and on making it happen.

Deliver Better Results Than Anyone Else

Initiative, innovation and accountability are the natural by-products of a culture where team members speak the same language, interact like customers of one another, & share the goal of winning with customers. Delivering results creates success and momentum. Because winning is fun, it is easy for team members to join the cause!
