Team Management Profiles
Maximising team potentials
What is the Team Management Profile (TMP)?
Through a comprehensive, worldwide program, Team Management Systems (TMS – www.tms.com.au) have researched teams in all types of industries, to discover the differences between high and low performing teams, and identified eight core ‘work functions’ or different types of successful teamwork, and linked them to the individual work preferences. People tend to practice what they prefer and therefore perform better in those areas that match their work preference. Understanding work preferences is a critical component in developing individual, team and organisational performance.
The result is the team management wheels (see above).
With the help of a Profile Questionnaire, a 60-item assessment focused on enhancing understanding of an individual’s approach to work, the personal TMP provides constructive, work-based information outlining an individual’s work preferences and the strengths that an individual brings to a team. If done with teams, it also shows the preferences of the whole team and identifies gaps and areas for self-assessment.
Involve International is accredited to use the Team Management Profile.
They key questions that Team Management Profiles provide answers to:
- What do successful teams do? Which of these activities are most relevant to us?
- What kind of work is most likely to energise each individual team member? Why do people feel motivated by some tasks and not others?
- What role do people prefer to play in a team?
- How can we collaborate to create team success and maximise the potential of our team?
