FIRO-B Profile

Corporate Teams integrates individual results of the FIRO-B Profile with that of the whole team.  The FIRO-B Profile is a powerful resource used to bring teams together to drive increased understanding of communication and motivation by individual contributors.  Insight into the strengths of each team member provides teams the opportunity to achieve a higher level of performance in the pursuit of team goals.

The Corporate Teams programming philosophy brings together the hard-hitting insights of the FIRO-B Profile assessment with action-based experiential initiatives.  Using experiential learning as a cornerstone of the Corporate Teams team building model, individuals are able to ‘experience and modify behaviors’ to improve performance and enhance team communications.  It is like learning to ride a bike.  You can talk about how to ride a bike all day long but until you actually get up onto the bike, you will never really know how to ride that bike successfully.  This is what Corporate Teams does best.  The FIRO-B Profile program gets your team on the bike by balancing classroom learning with actual experience.

Team Benefits of using the FIRO-B Profile

• Understand and acknowledge the unique contributions of all members of your organizational team
• Increase the effectiveness of problem-solving and decision making by helping individuals to understand different work preferences
• Provides a framework to build and maintain balanced, high-energy teams
• Creates a foundation for managing team strengths and allocating resources more efficiently
• Identifies effective methods to resolve conflict with differing work styles

Team Member Benefits of using the FIRO-B Profile

• Identifies behaviors that are most effective for a specific team member in the areas of:  communicating, directing, and developing others
• Increases understanding of what decision making behaviors would be most effective for influencing team communications
• Develops strategies for motivating others based on the team members style and the teams composite profile

Corporate Teams delivers a FIRO-B Profile experience that provides teams the opportunity to put their FIRO-B Profile results into action.  Engaging in a series of experiential activities, teams will develop a hands-on working knowledge of how individual preferences influence team goals.  Under the pressure of time, teams must develop an effective strategy, deploy resources efficiently, and implement a solution to achieve success.  These lessons are then aligned to the current challenges of the workplace.  An action based working plan provides teams with concrete steps for immediate implementation back at the office.
 
The experiential based model of FIRO-B increases the application and integration of FIRO-B over time and provides the opportunity for long-term measurable results.

We offer the FIRO-B Profile in half day or full day workshops.  With time allowing, we recommend the full day format to increase the applicability of the FIRO-B to current work challenges and to allow for the creation of an actionable plan to implement in the workplace.  If your team would prefer, we can also deliver the full day program in two half-day segments.
