TEAM MAPPING APPLIED
Decisions made based on who
talks the loudest
Unconstructive conflict
Lots of ideas and discussion, but few decisions
© 2016 3Circle Partners LLC
Nice atmosphere, no results
Agreement on plans, but poor follow up
When Team Roles are missing… mismanaged…
overabundant… misunderstood…
POLL: Which of these problems does your team(s) encounter the most?
4) Unconstructive conflict
2) Lots of ideas and discussion, but few decisions
1) Nice atmosphere, no results
3) Agreement on plans, but poor follow up
5) Decisions made based on who talks the loudest

Nice Atmosphere, No Results
How Team Roles can contribute…
• Overabundance of the PEOPLE roles
• Lack of ACTION role strengths (or those roles played ineffectively)
How to address this
• Greater understanding of need for Action roles
• Look to anyone who is “natural” or “manageable” in the Action roles
• Make someone accountable for moving team forward

Lots of ideas and discussion, but few decisions
How Team Roles can contribute…
• Lots of THINKING going on
• No one wants to make the call and move forward
How to address this
• Give someone “natural” or “manageable” in an Action role (esp Shaper) permission to “call time” on discussion
• Use Coordinator strength to push for a decision

Agreement on Plans, Poor Follow Up
How Team Roles can contribute…
• Good planning (with Implementer role)
• Lack of follow through and coordinating skills (or those roles played ineffectively)
How to address this
• Look to anyone who is “natural” or “manageable” in the Completer-Finisher and Implementer roles
• Have them work closely with strong Coordinator skills
© 2016 3Circle Partners LLC
Unconstructive Conflict
How Team Roles can contribute…
• Can result from the tension between…
• Roles that have a tendency to strongly advocate for ideas, opinions
• Roles that have a tendency for introspection
How to address this
• Use People skills (Team Worker and Coordinator) for strong facilitation
• Reinforce the need for different strengths & perceptions for the team to get the best result
© 2016 3Circle Partners LLC
Decisions Made on Who Talks the Loudest
How Team Roles can contribute…
How to address this
• Can be due to a lack of some roles being filled effectively (for example, Actions roles overriding People roles)
• Needs strong Coordinator and Team Worker roles in operation
