High Performing Leaders & Teams
A proven way for leaders and teams to benchmark and build high performance
High Performing Leaders & Teams is a service that uses the renowned 4-D system to deliver measurable capability and behavioural change. 4-D was created by Dr. Charles Pellerin, NASA's former director of Astrophysics, creator of the NASA post cold war strategy and author of How NASA Builds Teams.
Used by organisations across the globe, including NASA, the 4-D system has been shown to improve project and programme delivery and is especially useful for large scale or multiple projects and mission critical environments. Organisations in many industries, notably aerospace, defence, health and finance are using the system today.
4-D measures four dimensions and eight key behaviours that are necessary and sufficient to create individuals and teams that perform well to produce results.
The four dimensions address fundamental human needs to feel valued, to feel part of a team, to believe in a hopeful future, and to have clear expectations with the resources to meet them. The dimensions are Cultivating, Visioning, Including and Directing.
The eight behaviours that underpin each of the four dimensions have been empirically proven to drive high performance, while their absence has been shown to result in major operational and project failures.
High Performing Leaders
A 360º online assessment of an individual supports straight-forward, practical actions to be used to develop strength in every leadership dimension. Workshops and specific coaching can subsequently be provided as required, to help leaders take accountability and raise their performance.
High Performing Teams
In addition to individual assessments, peer reviews can be undertaken in a team, resulting in a Team Development Assessment (TDA). Regardless of the nature of the team, whether operational, project or functional, a TDA provides powerful insights into the behavioural norms with specific actions to drive required behavioural change.
A TDA highlights the context in which the team is performing, and is used as the basis for team members to understand, take ownership and be accountable for improving team performance.
These assessments result in action items for the leader and the team, in two areas:
- What it is about this team that supports good performance
- What this team could do to enhance performance
