Team Effectiveness Programs

Hargraves Institute provides Team Effectiveness Programs from Sydney to organisations across Australia, through Thriving Teams, a practical four step program that helps teams move from friction to flow by working on the team rather than only in it.

  • The program moves through four stages, Build the Foundation, Make Change, Take Ownership and Maintain Momentum, starting with a hands-on workshop that surfaces strengths, challenges and priorities.
  • Three delivery options suit different contexts: self-guided using the Resource Kit and Playbook, facilitated by a Hargraves expert or the organisation’s own facilitator, or train-the-trainer to deliver thriving teams at scale.
  • Teamwork is examined across three elements, People, Practices and Tools, drawing on the research behind the Hargraves Collaboration Model.
  • Collaborizza, a companion product, contains everything needed to run a half-day self-guided team building workshop.

Best for: leaders responsible for delivery whose teams show patchy communication, unclear alignment or siloed working.

Coaching and Mentoring

Manager and Emerging Leader Coaching

Hargraves Institute provides Manager and Emerging Leader Coaching from Sydney to leaders across Australia through Hargraves Coach, a program that equips team leaders and managers with practical tools and skills to lead with confidence.

  • Coaching is delivered fully online in flexible sessions, one-on-one or with key team participation.
  • The coach supports leaders to apply Uncommon Tools to their own challenges, reflect on outcomes and plan next steps.
  • Each participant receives a customised playbook of tools, templates and links to share internally.

Best for: team leaders and managers balancing team engagement with management expectations.
