An incoming executive may inherit a leadership group that may or may not function as a team. As a new leader, we need to decide if we want a team committed to a shared purpose and a brand going forward.
This presentation lays out 2 Models for Team Development.
1. The GRPI Model, as developed by Organizational theorist Dick Beckhard. The GRPI (Goals, Roles, Processes, and Interpersonal Relationships) Model helps us diagnose the causes of team dysfunction.
2. The Extended GRPI Model for Team Development, which recognizes the importance of Brand and Communications, in addition to Goals, Roles, Processes, and Interpersonal Relationships.
This presentation also discusses the 6 cores areas of the Extended GRPI Model for Team Development in further details. These 6 critical areas can provide a practical starting point for team assessment. It also focuses our attention on the areas that must be addressed to develop a Higher-Performing Team.
This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
The GRPI Model is depicted as a pyramid, emphasizing the influence of Interpersonal Relationships on Processes, Roles, and Goals. This model looks at teams as rational and structured entities, rather than recognizing their shared emotional life. By putting the drivers of team performance in proper perspective, teams can gain mileage in terms of achieving results.
Taking a systematic review of teams using the GRPI Model enables companies to effectively diagnose performance issues. Clear and conflict-free roles enable team members to fulfill their responsibilities, while overlapping responsibilities cause role conflict, leading to increased stress and poor performance. This presentation provides a practical framework for assessing and improving team dynamics.
