On-Purpose Teams Basics

Our On-Purpose Team system (OPT) focuses on eight essential elements: four that are individual-based and four that are team evolution based. With this powerful system in place, leaders across your organization can align to build highly effective, high performing teams focused on the goals and objectives of your business.

With OPT, team members learn to recognize where and how they are struggling to work with fellow team members, ways to accomplish more and grow as individuals.

OPT training can be delivered to leaders, team members, or a combination of both.

Your individual team’s program is customized to accomplish the specific results you are seeking. Your intended audience (front line, supervisors, management, senior leadership) will determine specific topics and areas covered during your program.

Navigating Workplace Relationships

Workshop Formats: 1/2 day training, 1 day training, or 2 day training.

Individual employees are the bedrock of every team, and interactions between them can cause earthquakes, eruptions, and erosion, or allow prosperous, lush growth. Individual behaviors affect relationships, communications, conflicts, and overall team performance. Does a conflict arise each time your team meets? How well do the team members make room for growth and relate to one another? Are they cooperative and collaborative on projects? Do they work seamlessly as a cohesive group?

While many consider it the leader’s role to create an environment that fosters teamwork, in reality, it is everyone’s responsibility. Diversity of strengths, abilities, and personalities fortifies a team, and must be honored and respected by each member of the team. These differences impact the way team members relate to each other, and how they respond to different circumstances. If these differences are not addressed, understood, and respected, they eventually infect employee attitudes like a virus, making the team as a whole weaker and less productive. A wise man once said, “Building a relationship is like building a house… you can’t put the roof on a house until the foundation is complete.” The foundation of any team is the collaborative efforts of individuals who work together; these relationships must be developed before a group of individuals can be considered a team.

People Personalities and the Pandemic helps organizations design the cooperative teams they need to produce the results they want in the time-frame they crave. Getting everyone to play nicely in the sandbox — with cohesive, productive, working relationships — is something every organization strives for. Gregg navigates attendees through his unique process to enhance relationships within the organization.

Moving From Dysfunctional to Cohesive

Using Patrick Lencioni’s book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, the workshop explores these concepts:

  • Absence of Trust
  • Fear of Conflict
  • Lack of Commitment
  • Avoidance of Accountability
  • Inattention to Results

Designed for intact teams

What is Everything DiSC®?

Why is it so easy to work with some people and more challenging to work with others?

The Everything DiSC® model is a simple tool that’s been helping people appreciate, communicate, and connect with each other for more than thirty years. It all begins with understanding the basic DiSC styles.

Why do we teach DiSC®?

By learning their own DiSC® styles, people can gain a better understand of their strengths, challenges, and motivators. They can learn how to use DiSC® to strengthen their relationships with others and build better-functioning organizations, one relationship at a time.

Gregg Gregory offers three DiSC® programs to support your team-building initiatives:
Everything DiSC® Workplace
Everything DiSC® Management
Everything DiSC® Productive Conflict

Who’s Your Audience?

Gregg tailors his programs to meet the needs of every audience.

Gregg recognizes the obstacles facing executive boards and senior leaders; therefore, he customizes each event to the specific needs of owners, executive teams and senior managers with multiple teams. Challenges include:

  • Gaining the buy-in of organizational culture
  • How to instill the senior vision throughout
  • Building internal trust
  • Leading those who run their own agendas
  • Developing the next generation of leadership
  • Increasing profitability by putting the right people in the right place
Are employees performing at lackluster levels? Do they do ‘just enough’ to get the job done? Is morale suffering at the expense of just finishing an assignment, task or project? Do teammates snicker behind each other’s back? How well do they trust each other? How well do they trust management?
Is morale down? Do employees feel like no one cares anymore? Is management failing to demonstrate that they care about front line employees? What causes different behaviors in people at different times? Do team members provide varying levels of service (internal or external) that results in strained relationships, conflict with management, or a negative image of the team?
