Leadership Team Performance Applied

We developed the Leadership Team Performance Program to examine the team itself because a team's effectiveness cannot be fully understood only through assessing its individuals, though this is often the method used. The LTPI™ does not evaluate individual members' preferences or personalities. The underlying philosophy is that a team is not a sum of the individuals but a sum of how they behave together.

Program Approach

• Utilizes the BTS LTPI™ Assessment tool to look at the team to look at the behavior of the team itself.
• Gives insights into how other stakeholder groups perceive a team’s effectiveness
• Provides practical, actionable feedback a team can immediately apply to make them more effective in achieving their business goals
• Shows which team behaviors are most important to overcome common issues such as lack of trust and psychological safety, trouble having constructive conflict, and poor cross-functional collaboration

• The LTPI™ measures how the team is perceived by both team members as well as key stakeholders outside the team. And our research shows that the most effective teams excel at both internal and external team dynamics.
• The LTPI™ does not evaluate individual members' preferences or personalities. The underlying philosophy is that a team is not a sum of the individuals but a sum of how they behave together
• Our research based on numerous client engagements shows that if you only look at the feedback from team members and do not include the perceptions of external stakeholders, you are missing half the picture of what makes for a high-performing team. In a world where work gets done by a team of teams, it is critical to know how a team is perceived by other teams.

• The data allows the leader to determine which specific behaviors are helping and which are hindering the team’s ability to achieve its strategic goals. This allows the team to decide what behaviors to continue and which need to be modified to become even more effective.
• Because the items in the LTPI™ are observable and changeable behaviors, it becomes clear what actions a team needs to take to become more effective.

• Focuses on helping teams achieve their business imperatives.
• Gives insights into how other stakeholder groups perceive a team’s effectiveness.
• Provides practical, actionable feedback a team can immediately apply to make them more effective in achieving their business goals.
• Shows which team behaviors are most important to overcome common issues such as lack of trust and psychological safety, trouble having constructive conflict, and poor cross-functional collaboration.
