Grow Together

Team insight that fuels collaboration, trust, and performance.

Have you ever noticed that individual teams within the same organization can have a different feel, atmosphere and output?

We call that ‘team climate’ – and measuring team climate is what makes the PCS model unique. 

Team climate is directly impacted by the team leader – and has a significant impact on team productivity and wellbeing.

The You to Us Bridge

Grow together is the next step after self-awareness, and it changes everything.

High-performing teams aren’t built on individual talent alone. They thrive when individuals align around purpose, communicate with clarity, and trust one another to show up fully. That kind of culture doesn’t emerge by chance—it takes intention, feedback, and shared commitment.

It answers the question: What is it like to work on this team right now?

Why It Matters

Only 23% of employees say they can apply their strengths at work regularly—yet teams that do are 38% more likely to be productive.

  • 70% of the variance in team engagement is directly tied to the manager’s effectiveness.

  • Teams that feel safe to take risks, speak up, and challenge ideas are 27% more likely to deliver strong results.

  • Organizations with highly engaged teams experience 59% lower turnover, 41% fewer quality defects, and 21% greater profitability (Gallup).

In short: when your team functions well, your business performs better.

Discover Your Team Climate

Before you set out to improve team performance, you must first understand the underlying dynamics that drive—or drag—performance.

Deploy a structured tool that gathers confidential feedback from team members about their experience working together. These insights help leaders understand the current climate and group dynamics that influence performance—things that often go unspoken but drive outcomes every day.

Here’s how it works:

  1. We Survey the Team

    Each team member completes a short, confidential survey measuring key dimensions of team performance.

  2. We Analyze the Data

    Responses are aggregated and analyzed to identify strengths, tensions, and patterns across the team. We pay special attention to alignment and disconnects between how individuals perceive the team's environment.

  3. We Debrief with the Leader

    We walk through the findings with the team leader, helping them see how their leadership behaviors may be shaping the climate—for better or worse—and identify where self-awareness can unlock team performance.

  4. We Facilitate a Team Discussion (Optional)

    In many cases, we host a session with the team to reflect on the results, build shared understanding, and co-create ways to improve collaboration and effectiveness.

  5. We Create a Development Focus Plan

    Based on the data, we help the leader (and optionally, the team) choose 1–2 core areas to focus on and track improvements over time.

If you’re seeing signs of a stalled team — low energy, finger-pointing, vague priorities — it’s time to stop guessing and start mapping.
