Bridging Differences Within and Without
For teams to be productive, individual members must learn to benefit from their interdependence, and creatively utilize their differences. In lively and absorbing programs, using proven listening and communication skills, Concentrics helps team members work out their own differences, a skill they can later use to resolve differences with outside groups.

Collaborating Across Groups
Concentrics teaches groups the processes needed to work together. Then they test the theories by applying them to their own real work issues, rather than hypothetical situations. It's this concrete application of principles to their own work that gets groups working together as one to solve their problems.

Ability to Solve Problems on Their Own
Concentrics leads team members through a process for resolving issues and coping with problems in a shared sense of responsibility. These experiences create the foundation for building the members' commitment to the team.

Ancient Wisdom About Teams
Concentrics uses "The Medicine Wheel," a comprehensive philosophy of life developed by Native Americans. This interactive model helps team members better understand the human relations dynamics that exist in every team. The model continues to rival the best modern thinking on the keys to team building and effective leadership development.

Combined with Modern Team Theory
Concentrics supplements "The Medicine Wheel" with the dynamic Drexler-Sibbett Model for Team Performance. This model provides team leaders and members with a clear framework for developing teams and creating a springboard for high performance. It also allows teams to change where they are, while articulating what they need to do to move forward.

One-Day, Three-Day and Four-Day Programs
In addition to our long-term work with teams, Concentrics offers short-term initiatives of one to four days for organizations wishing to launch new teams, or to strengthen the performance of existing teams in specific ways. Concentrics also delivers to organizations a highly acclaimed three-day program for individuals who wish to enhance their skills as a leader or member of a team.
