Now more than ever, your team needs to be courageous. Pandemics, Future of Work, Digitization, Agile, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Creativity, Growth. These negative and positive situations need courageous teams at the forefront of change.
A courageous team knows how to balance between comfort and carelessness. The fine balance of courage keeps the team on track towards its purpose, while ensuring the team takes action without being reckless.
Build your courageous team through our proven framework to embrace these challenges in a way that leads to positive business outcomes.
To help you understand how your team can use courage to increase their performance and effectiveness, we have developed the Courageous Teams Index.
The Courageous Teams Index measures your current courage levels across 6 detailed dimensions.
Swipe to learn more about each of the dimensions
How courageous does your team work together?
What is the behavior your team shows during ideation, planning and execution of your initiatives and activities? We look at the six roles your team should jointly fulfil in each situation to find the balance in team courage.
Character is about your team’s personality and how it balances between comfort and carelessness, being centered around courage. Your team can influence the different aspects of its character to become more courageous.
Does your team have the right environment to be courageous? It is hard to be courageous if your circumstances block you from being fully “in”. We look at six conditions that are fundamental to create and sustain an environment for courage.
Your team purpose and company vision are your North Star. This North Star becomes your compass in your courageous team journey, informing you what are the right priorities for your team and how to use team courage to achieve this purpose and vision.
Often you are more courageous in your interactions with certain stakeholders than with others. It might be easier to be courageous towards your subordinates than towards your clients. We measure your courageous interactions with five categories of stakeholders.
A courageous team is more than a team that dares to start new initiatives. It is a team that continues through setbacks, powering through when the going gets tough. And it is a team that knows and is brave enough to stop what doesn’t work, when initiatives won’t lead to the value they had planned.

Are you navigating industry disruption or a global crisis? Are you facing issues that require you to go above and beyond what your team has achieved so far? Are you offered once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that cannot be left untapped?
Have you always wondered whether your team is delivering to its maximum capabilities? Do you feel you are not yet working like clockwork and it just needs to ‘click’? Are you curious to see how much more you can achieve together?
Have you just come together recently for an exciting new project? Has your team welcomed one or more new team members lately? Has your team balance been disrupted by hiring and attrition?
Rather than Courage being the end of a spectrum, it is a fine balancing point between being comfortable and being careless. Too little courage will make you stay in your comfort zone, too much courage will drive you off a cliff in a careless and reckless manner. Finding the right balance is the essence of being courageous
To find the fine balance in courage, you need a team with different personalities and preferences. The various members of a team each play a role in balancing between the team’s comfort zone and carelessness zone. Courageous leaders without a courageous team are just lone wolves going for their own win and prestige.
Every team can be courageous. Courage is not a fixed personality trait, but rather a teachable behavior that can be carefully nurtured and grown with the right approach and mindset. It is not difficult to be courageous together, there are clear steps and elements to cover in your Courageous Teams Journey.
Courage is about more than just your risk appetite. To find the courage balance your team needs to address all facets of what it means to be courageous: linking your work to your vision, taking bold action, embracing emotions, considering alternatives, planning your resources and yes, stepping out of your comfort zone
“We are a young startup with a rapidly growing team working remotely across the world. Our days are filled with constant challenges. Our team is navigating anything from pursuing new revenue opportunities to customer requests to navigating a pandemic. In the startup world we often jump on things quite easily, but the Courageous Teams approach taught us how to better balance and not be careless. The assessment itself already opened my eyes on so many things I could do better to find that balance. Then the report and workshop helped our team come up with a structured plan to put it to practice.

Take the team assessment. Every individual of your team will receive a link to our Courageous Teams Index. Depending on the plan you choose there are two to seven modules and various levels of details. The survey takes between 10 and 30 minutes to complete.
Evaluate your results in the detailed team report. Your individual responses will be aggregated into one report for your team. You will receive your report automatically after the last team member has completed the survey. In the team report you will find the first pointers to get started with your Courageous Teams Journey.
GET STARTED
Start putting your insights to action in an engaging team workshop. We have carefully designed a 2.5-hours engaging session for your team to help you prioritize and get started with the results of your Courageous Teams Index. These workshops can be held either online or offline, depending on your preferences.
Our free test offers a short preview of the assessment with brief results. This snapshot gives you 12
sample questions from the original 104 questions in the full assessment. Within five minutes you’ll have
a better understanding of what to expect and how the index works.
Yes, both teams that work from the same work location as well as teams that work together from different work locations and across time zones can benefit from building a strong foundation of courage. Our services, including the assessment and the workshops, can be run fully remote and online or in person, depending on the requirements and preferences of the team.
The Courageous Teams approach is suitable for many types of teams. We see best results and most value added for leadership teams, management teams and senior project teams. Our approach works not just for teams in larger corporate organizations and multinational companies, but also for smaller and medium sized enterprises as well as in startups.
We advise to keep the team size between 4 and 20 team members. For large teams above 20team members we advise to measure the sub-teams and run joint workshops with the larger teams, to get to deeper insights in team dynamics. Teams smaller than 4 in theory could work, but it will be harder to maintain anonymity of answers to the assessment.
Most assessments focus on individual leadership skills and traits. We believe to really excel as a team, the focus should not be on profiling individuals and singling them out in how to drive change, but rather on how these individuals come together as a team. The Courageous Teams approach is one of the only truly team-based approaches. Moreover, the Courageous Teams approach is foundation alto change. Before anything else, before any initiative can be successfully executed, the team needs to have the courage to take the first step. Therefore, the Courageous Teams approach is the basis to excellent team collaboration and great team success.
Our system is designed for fast delivery. Upon completion of your order, your team will receive access to the assessment right away. Depending on the plan you choose, the assessment takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes to complete. Once all your team members have completed the assessment, you will receive your results within 24 hours. The workshop will be scheduled once the results are out. Depending on your team’s availability, this can be within the same week.
