Jung talked about three pairs of
preferences:
• Introversion and Extraversion

Defining Moments
There are significant changes in the social, economic or political climate
There is a merger or acquisition
There is a change of leader
New priorities are assigned
An unexpected decision is announced
The scope of the project changes
There are personality clashes and/or power struggles
There has been a violation of trust in the team
A major mistake has been made – the team have received poor feedback
The team has not met their targets
There is pressure for increased innovation

Team Effectiveness Model
A team that is focused will:
• have a clear direction
• know their vision and goals
• have their sights firmly on the deliverables
• take action on the ‘right’ things
• be accountable for what they have committed to
Focus
When a team is in flow, they:
• create solutions and solve problems collectively
• engage in dialogue
• learn as a team
• respond quickly to external input
• make the changes necessary to overcome obstacles
Flow
In a positive climate the team has:
• a high level of trust
• a high degree of engagement and motivation
• the willingness and ability to delve into challenging
discussions
• the ability to maintain cohesion under pressure
• a genuine sense of caring and support
Climate
If the team has effective processes, it has:
• clear roles for each member
• roles that are linked and interdependent
• the right mix of capabilities within the team members
• a clear decision making process
• measurements in place to monitor progress
Process
