Many companies invest years of effort to create cross-functional teams to help run their businesses. One key element to team success is the alignment of team capabilities with work requirements. How well is the team leader leading the team? Are team members holding up their commitments to the team or simply looking after their own needs? Are personality conflicts creating barriers to success? When team dynamics is identified as an inhibitor to performance, The Devine Inventory® CoreTeam report takes a thorough look at team leadership as well as individual team members, and recommends immediate solutions.

CoreTeam helps organizations clarify the strengths and weaknesses of a team, explains how the team members and their leader interact, and analyzes whether those interactions are enhancing performance or if they require modification. For example, CoreTeam might find that one employee is a great individual performer, but not a productive team player, and should be redeployed to a position more suited to his or her strengths.

How CoreTeam Works

CoreTeam presents group results and individual results side by side. A detailed report indicates the impact of individuals upon the group, and highlights both group and individual strengths and development needs. Data suggests which individuals enhance team performance or act as a barrier to it. The report also reveals gaps, such as a team leader trying to complete tasks alone rather than delegating, a team leader who doesn’t coach others well, or conflicting work styles causing tension within a team. Insights gained from CoreTeam data can directly impact team development and productivity.

A report generated by The Devine Inventory online assessment, CoreTeam helps you predict who will be successful in specific team roles by comparing the behavioral tendencies of existing employees and job applicants with the behavioral tendencies of an organization’s top performers. The Inventory is secure, fully functional, customizable, user-intuitive and completely Web-enabled, allowing an employee or job candidate to take the Inventory any time from any location with Internet access.
