Team Management Profile
York Associates uses the Team Management profile to support its international development of individuals and teams. The profile, which is based on extensive and ongoing research into what makes high performing teams, offers a unique view on the way in which people work to achieve results. At the heart of the system is a rigorously validated questionnaire which provides a 4,000 word personalised report.
The Margerison-McCann Team Management Wheel
The profile allows individuals and teams to map their working tasks, a powerful way of identifying strengths and areas for development. The tool also allows individuals to identify their preferred role in teams as a way of improving management of their own and other team members' motivations and team work-communication styles.
At the centre of the wheel lies a set of competencies called Linking. These competencies, such as active listening, objective setting and delegating, are key to leading and facilitating teams. York Associates' team and leadership development programmes will focus on developing these competencies within an international context to support the establishment of high performing teams.

The Team Management Profile is the cornerstone of many different applications with a wide range and level of teams and work groups:
Leadership and Management Development
The Profile helps team leaders to understand the particular role that each individual can play. It provides a researched model of effective teamwork that makes managing more 'manageable', and creates high performing teams.
'Fuzzy Teams'
The Team Management Wheel makes it easier to understand how a more informal network of people can work effectively together.
Change Management
The approach offers orientation for those who need to combine in new ways and establish new work processes. It promotes mutual understanding as well as a respect for different work preferences, cultures and modes of communication.
New Teams
The TM approach, focused on business results, speeds up understanding of what needs doing, who should do what and effective communication.
Coaching and Mentoring
Provides an important focal point and a structure for the mentoring process. An ideal starting point for discussions about career goals, how to be more effective and interactions with colleagues.
Cross-Cultural Working
People can share a model and language of teamworking that helps them to see that conflicts or difficulties arise because of different work preferences, not just nationality. This helps a very diverse team to find common ground for moving forward.
Career Development and Retention
Because the Profile links to a model of effective organisational working, personal development discussions can be aligned with broader corporate goals.
Languages
The Team Management Profile is currently available in a number of European languages including Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish.
