Unlock the magic of extraordinary teams

Extraordinary Teams™ is a framework for evaluating and encouraging extraordinary teamwork, grounded in the original and ongoing research described in Extraordinary Groups: How Ordinary Teams Achieve Amazing Results. Our community of practitioners champion the Extraordinary Teams vision: to help teams fulfill their promise and positively change the world—one team at a time.

Many teams and leaders today are struggling. Engagement is down, frustration is up and everyone is wondering what could help. While Extraordinary Teams can't promise a quick-fix, they can provide a proven pathway to elevating the team experience. Teams and teamwork don't have to be painful. In fact, we believe they can be magical!

What’s extraordinary about your team?

The Extraordinary Teams Inventory 2.0 is not your ordinary team assessment. It is a powerful evidence-based team development tool that is statistically valid and reliable. The results go beyond performance indicators and help establish a baseline of behavioral practices. It’s suitable for both intact and newly-forming teams and is easily administered and cost effective.

We’re a community that practices what we preach

The Extraordinary Teams Partnership is an experienced group of coaches and consultants who have a shared passion for extraordinary teaming. Since 2012, we have been working together to advance teams and share best practices and honor these shared values:

  • Curiosity: we let curiosity fuel our learning

  • Generosity: by giving we become richer

  • Lightheartedness and play: we laugh and find joy in work and life together

  • Innovation: we are creative and agile in all that we do

  • Diversity and belonging: we embrace and welcome our uniqueness

  • Forward movement: we trust ourselves and commit to action

“Life is too short to spend time in teams that don’t fulfill their promise.”

— Kathleen Ryan, author of Extraordinary Groups
