Margerison-McCann Team Management Wheel™
I am always delighted when individuals who receive praise also acknowledge the wider team that contributed to their success. Even more so when they can clearly articulate how and in what ways their colleagues supported them. “It’s a team effort.”, “I’d like to thank my team…”. Members of high-performing teams are clear about their own strengths and how they best work together. Do you have that clarity in your team?
Members of high-performing teams have clarity
- They are clear about individual strengths, roles and responsibilities ,
- They understand how they utilise these strengths to support colleagues,
- They are clear about the overall purpose of the team,
- They know how best to communicate with one another,
- They are clear how best to adapt and re-focus in times of change.
At Coach Mentoring Ltd., our team development workshops offer teams space and time to reflect on themselves, their colleagues and how to be the best team they can be. A mixture of self-awareness, sharing and disclosure and team discussions provide concrete pathways to improved team success.
Teams — consider these questions:
- What are the critical tasks we need to cover as a team?
- What should fall under our remit?
- Who should be responsible for fulfilling these?
- What outcomes do we want to achieve as a team?
- Where do we specifically need to focus in the next few weeks and months?
- What might we have missed?
- What is the problem we can uniquely solve for our stakeholders?
A key tool for team development is the Margerison-McCann Team Management Profile. It’s a positive developmental tool which aligns with our values of valuing the individual and their individual contributions. Whatever feedback this psychometric tool provides the language is about the positive contribution you make to the team and how you can enhance this.

What aspects contribute to a high-performing team
- How do my personal work preferences contribute to the team’s success?
- How do I share my personal preferences with the team?
- What preferred behaviours will enhance the way the team is working?
- What behaviours do I need to be mindful of and perhaps tone down a little with some colleagues?
- How do I maximise what I have to bring to this team?
In times of change, uncertainty, restructures, questions and doubt, our team development workshops can provide a positive anchor to consider where you really want to go as a team and what you really want to achieve.
Get in touch to discuss how you could join a (virtual or face-to-face) team development workshop providing that space for reflection, discussion and consideration of clarity.
