Our beliefs about working with teams: 

• Participants should determine the agenda
• Achieving work and “team building” should be combined
• The context in which the team lives (e.g. department, structure) strongly influences performance
  
• Capitalizing on unique strengths and different view points makes for better results
• Celebrating accomplishments is essential
• Attending to individual relationships and group dynamics are necessary
• Any team needs periodic “tune-ups” to increase performance
