"It is better to light a candle than to curse in the darkness."

Team success is directly tied to each individual's efforts as well as to how well team members get along and work together. In order to maximize effectiveness, team leaders and team members profit from learning problem solving and communication skills.

Human Productivity offers team building that helps people understand and accommodate differences by viewing them as preferred ways of processing information. Our sessions are customized to focus attention on any combination of improvement areas: personality types, group problem-solving tools, group facilitation techniques, and team transition.

Because people's individual differences in style often lead to misunderstandings, we use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator as our preferred personality type instrument. The MBTI stresses that there are no "good" or "bad" styles, just differences. Understanding Myers-Briggs types helps people understand and accommodate differences by viewing them as preferred ways of processing information. With this objective view, teams learn to rely on the differences and use them to maximize problem-solving effectiveness.

Our half-day and full-day sessions are geared to increase team member understanding of team dynamics and foster its practical application.
