Profiling teams gets to the heart of team issues identifying where things are going wrong, personality clashes and challenges that need to be overcome.
Profiling teams will help your business by:
-
Analysing the structure of the team – team behaviour, its strengths and limitations and the role each individual plays within it.
-
Identifying and breaking down the barriers preventing exceptional performance.
-
Opening channels of communication – once team members understand each other they are able to communicate with and appreciate one another.
-
Focusing and committing a team to its objectives.
Team behaviour can lie at the heart of an underperforming team. Understanding your team, through team profiling will get to the root of the problem quickly and effectively.

How does it work?Thomas’ interactive tool allows you to profile the team you have – by profiling individual members within it – to give you a snapshot of that team. How are team members interacting? Are there personality clashes? Are there behavioural issues holding team performance back?
The team profiling report shows in clear graphical format the behavioural preferences of each individual within the team, the role each person plays and what they bring to the team. It enables people to understand what makes their colleagues ‘tick’. It builds mutual understanding, co-operation and open communication.
How does profiling teams help my business?
Do you have a sales team that is not meeting its targets but you don’t know why? Are there personality clashes between team members? Have you recently appointed a new manager who needs a quick, yet thorough understanding, of the people they are working with?
Existing teams: how team profiling can help
- Underperforming teams – is a sales team not meeting its targets?
- Personality clashes – is this impeding team performance?
- Are you appointing a new manager to the team – do they need to understand the people they have on their team and how to best manage them? What leadership style works best for a given team?
- Communication problems – do the team members understand how to communicate with each other and appreciate what each of them brings to the party? People need to cover the bases they are good at and concede to others where they are better.
- Focusing and committing a team to its objective – by looking at the Ideal team culture, a team can understand where they need to be (what behaviour is needed from that team) and work out a way to get there (for example, is there any training that is needed?)
- Is change planned – is the organisation undergoing or about to undergo change? Profiling a team will tell managers how to communicate that change to the team, how the news will be received by them and the support the team needs to help them through it.
Putting together a new team? How team profiling can help
-
Project teams – are you putting together a team for a specific purpose or a project team? Our tools allow you to create one that will exhibit, collectively, the behaviours needed to succeed in that task.
