Promote a Healthy and High Performing Organization
Use Team ALIVE to give focus to Learning from observation, individual
reflection and group reflection:

Whether trying to get past a road block or wanting an organizational health check up,
individuals and groups can learn to:

Listen actively to each other
Give appreciative feedback
Appreciate different points of view
Build consensus
Generate new ideas.

You may choose to use the AMSP Apter Motivational Style Profile
(exploring reversal theory and the choices available to us) or the MBTI Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator to support this work.

Leaders can reinforce a healthy organizational climate by:

Creating a safe space for open communication and for experimentation
Offering positive reinforcement
Helping staff build on strengths
Keeping the group open to each other and to new ideas
Letting individual energies be spent in increasing the effectiveness of the group.

You may choose to employ the ALPS Apter Leadership Profile System that provides insight
into organizational climate with 180 degree input. You may choose the Campbell
Leadership Index, CL-I, with 360 degree input into leadership parameters.

Many groups benefit from open discussion of the emotional intelligence elements and how
the elements are in play in their organization. The EQ-I Emotional Intelligence Quotient can
serve as a springboard for group discussion and individual development.
