Build cohesive teams and address dysfunction when it arises
What you'll be able to do
•Recognize common team dysfunctions such as absence of trust or unresolved conflict before they harden into patterns
•Move a group through the early friction stages of forming a team instead of waiting for it to sort itself out
•Facilitate a conversation that surfaces a simmering conflict rather than letting it stay underground
•Rebuild trust after a specific breach or a rough stretch on the team
•Tell the difference between healthy task disagreement and personal dysfunction that needs intervention
Who it's for
Managers leading teams that feel stuck, siloed, or quietly tense, and new leaders inheriting a group with existing friction. Fits anyone responsible for turning a collection of individuals into a functioning team.
What changes on the job
•Conflicts get named and worked through instead of festering
•The team develops enough trust to disagree openly and still move forward
•New teams reach productive footing faster because the leader guides the early stages on purpose

Is this based on a specific model of team dysfunction?
It draws on widely recognized team-development concepts, including the stages teams move through and the common dysfunctions that stall them, applied in a practical way rather than as theory.
How long is the course?
About 20 minutes, self-paced, included with a Thrive membership as part of the leadership track.
My team's problem is one specific person. Does this help?
The course helps you diagnose whether the issue is truly one person or a team dynamic showing up through them. For a targeted situation, a live workshop or AI coaching session can help you plan the specific conversation.
