Helping People Work More Effectively in Teams
Successful team members don't do the same thing at the same time. They do the right thing at the right time. And while team members work together toward a common goal, individuals still must play their individual roles in the process.
As organizations rely more and more on teams to innovate, problem solve, produce, and compete at the speed of change, clearly understanding and capitalizing on individual approaches to group processes is the bottom line on creating high performance teams.

The Team Dimension Profile helps team members understand the importance of each role and furthers their appreciation of each individual’s contribution.
It identifies 5 Possible Team Roles:
- Creator: Generates original concepts, goes beyond the obvious, and sees the big picture. Hands off tasks to an Advancer.
-
Advancer: Recognizes new opportunities, develops ways to promote ideas, and moves toward implementation. Hands off tasks to a Refiner.
-
Refiner: Challenges and analyzes ideas to detect potential problems and may hand plans back to an Advancer or Creator before handing off tasks to an Executor.
-
Executor: Lays the groundwork for implementation, manages the details, and moves the process to completion.
-
Flexor: Works throughout the process to ensure tasks are handed off to the right people at the right time.
“Z Process” Keeps Teams Moving in the Right Direction
The Team Dimension Profile maps the flow of assigning roles, completing tasks, and handing off tasks to other team members through the Z Process.
In this relay process, tasks are passed from Creators to Advancers, from Advancers to Refiners, and from Refiners to Executors. Flexers keep the process moving by filling gaps in the team.
