We start with a proprietary assessment with six dimensions: people, goals, strategy, mechanics, relationships, and culture. In a team session, we select and work on 1-3 key improvement areas. I meet with the team leader before and after the team meeting to ensure follow-through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/1593791256864-G3PTN0FDZBGARGXGNUXA/ICON-16.png What We Do - One-Thing Coaching A 1:1, one-hour coaching session for second-level leaders to improve in a key area. This meeting, with email follow-up support, helps leaders to identify the one thing that would most effectively boost their leadership; to get tools and resources; and to develop an actionable improvement plan. It is time-efficient because it is individual and customized. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/1593782361328-DGDXHIRO9KPL42C5IZ06/ICON-18.png What We Do - Rising Leader Fundamentals A series of hour-long workshops to give second-level leaders foundational, practical skills for effective management. The workshops include significant peer interaction and application to immediate opportunities or challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/1593791275297-6KHJMLHGDQIZT37455MM/ICON-15.png What We Do - Critical Partner Summit Help for leaders and their teams where seamless collaboration across organizational boundaries is essential. This work helps those people build a strong, trust-based, and accountable commitment to their partnership and mutual success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/1593782307938-LGC5LNPD1WHGGVGAL0C5/ICON-19.png What We Do - Leader ACCOUNTABILITY Groups Groups of 6+ leaders to help them prepare for bigger roles and responsibility. This goes beyond fundamentals to work on deeper capabilities, such as strategy leadership, culture leadership, presence, courage, trust, self-awareness and self-management, and influence. There is a focus on peer support and network building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/1593782283454-DMK6GPANE5AALD58X1GR/ICON-20.png What We Do - Pivotal Meeting Facilitation Support to help key meetings (like off-sites or retreats… however they are held) achieve breakthroughs. This support is for every phase of the meeting: design, facilitation, and follow-up … all to ensure the meeting goes great and gives the business what it needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/03f2cad1-31ee-4281-b1a1-c62eed08bc2c/Bigger.png What We Do - EXECUTIVE OFFSITES We design and facilitate key meetings for teams (like off-sites or retreats) to achieve breakthroughs needed to strengthen results. And yet… An offsite alone is never the whole answer. We work to clarify the real needs and design a more robust approach, which includes strong follow up, to meet those needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/03f2cad1-31ee-4281-b1a1-c62eed08bc2c/Bigger.png What We Do - Team EFFECTIVENESS Every organization has one or a few teams that are especially critical. We help these teams achieve what is needed of them and then make that performance sustainable. And yet… No team is an island. We also look at the organization that lives around the team to identify what else is needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/03f2cad1-31ee-4281-b1a1-c62eed08bc2c/Bigger.png What We Do - Culture Support Culture is the water we swim in. We help organizations develop cultures that enable strategy execution and attract and retain great people. And yet… A lot of factors shape organization culture, and some of them are not obvious. When we work on culture, we make sure to account for those factors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/03f2cad1-31ee-4281-b1a1-c62eed08bc2c/Bigger.png What We Do - Accountable Coaching One-on-one coaching sessions are focused on helping the leader address real-time issues within their role, team, and organization. And yet… Too often individual coaching is a “feel-good” or place to hold confidential gripe sessions. Our approach is to have the leader share their focus, along with their accountability for growth with peers and partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/03f2cad1-31ee-4281-b1a1-c62eed08bc2c/Bigger.png What We Do - Learning and Development There is no organizational change without individual change. We design and deliver focused learning and development experiences that help organizations stay agile. And yet… The best learning and development is continuous, so we work with organizations to sustain individual change after a particular program ends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/03f2cad1-31ee-4281-b1a1-c62eed08bc2c/Bigger.png What We Do - Strategy support For organizations that believe they have the knowledge to shape strategy, we facilitate a structured process to develop a strategic plan. And yet… Strategy has a human side. Trust and strong teamwork are critical to produce a strategic plan and then carry it out. We ensure both the strategic and human factors get focus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/1588761380409-4XMJBGMBIVUR07K4UPBP/ivana-cajina-qyHrl0I3V6Y-unsplash.png What We Do https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/1593768395859-L0GVBBPQ3Y59Q7USZKP0/colour-02.jpg What We Do https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/1594027635079-2MJR2V2SDSJXY7AOZ2N8/adrian-ECngFXxbhD4-unsplash.jpg What We Do https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog daily 0.75 2025-11-05 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/good-unites monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/you-need-a-new-culture-but-people-love-the-old-culture-1-pplg5 monthly 0.5 2025-07-15 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/hows-your-ego-doing monthly 0.5 2025-04-16 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/a-hard-topic-for-teams-financial-security monthly 0.5 2025-02-03 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/love-team-and-the-stanley-cup monthly 0.5 2024-07-03 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/the-tougher-kind-of-authenticity-and-vulnerability monthly 0.5 2024-06-19 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/at-war-with-the-obvious monthly 0.5 2024-05-23 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/stuck-dont-look-for-a-solution-look-for-an-experiment monthly 0.5 2024-05-08 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/a-good-idea-is-going-to-be-polarizing monthly 0.5 2024-04-17 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/leaders-who-arent-leaders monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/anarchists-actually-have-something-interesting-to-say-about-leadership monthly 0.5 2024-01-17 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/facing-up-to-risk monthly 0.5 2023-11-08 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/how-is-the-annual-offsite-different-this-year-2szxd-rt2mb monthly 0.5 2023-08-23 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/five-hard-people-questions monthly 0.5 2023-05-10 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/more-gain-with-less-pain-in-start-ups-8smaf monthly 0.5 2023-04-26 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/five-ways-a-bad-meeting-could-actually-be-good monthly 0.5 2023-04-12 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/interview-with-snehal-patel-svp-and-head-of-technical-operations-at-sana-biotechnology monthly 0.5 2023-03-31 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/do-you-have-a-team-that-needs-its-own-unique-culture monthly 0.5 2023-03-16 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/making-agility-real monthly 0.5 2023-03-01 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/a-lesson-in-integrity-from-dana-carvey monthly 0.5 2021-06-17 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/mind-control-for-managers-five-ways-to-shape-others-thinking monthly 0.5 2021-04-28 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/want-more-time-be-more-courageous monthly 0.5 2021-03-09 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/solvingproblems monthly 0.5 2021-02-01 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/one-question-to-help-you-all-year-long monthly 0.5 2021-01-08 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/hermanmillerandmaxdepree monthly 0.5 2020-12-15 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/five-ways-ceos-can-strengthen-connection-on-their-senior-leader-teams-in-the-time-of-covid monthly 0.5 2020-10-12 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/inside-the-pressure-cooker-leadership-lessons-from-a-successful-hollywood-director monthly 0.5 2020-10-12 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/title-1-zymnp monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://www.thisteamworks.com/blog/title-1 monthly 0.5 2020-07-07 https://www.thisteamworks.com/about-home daily 0.75 2021-12-07 https://www.thisteamworks.com/about-me daily 0.75 2025-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea01e844e73e75097c9ca3a/1594026320504-ECO9SUSKAN7I61UWPL4M/JonathanBeckerbyfreiz2_2.jpg Jonathan Becker - Jonathan Becker Jonathan has been a management consultant for more than two decades and has served as an advisor and resource to senior leaders and their organizations.
