🦅 Team Hawk Leadership Diagnostic Companion Tool for Teams

Bonus Article: Why Excited Teams Soar Together Like Hawks

What It Is:

This is a leadership workbook and diagnostic tool designed to help you tell the difference between a group of people working side-by-side and a real team aligned around shared goals.

You’ll get:

• A team alignment diagnostic with scoring

• Reflection questions and guided next steps

• Practical team-building exercises

• A full-length article connecting team psychology with real leadership behavior

• Actionable insights for improving communication, accountability, and trust
   

It includes a story-rich companion piece that brings the research and exercises to life, without sounding like a corporate textbook. You’ll walk away with language, ideas, and strategies that make sense in the real world—not just in performance reviews or slide decks.

The Problem It Solves:

Too many teams look good on paper but fall apart in practice. Deadlines get met, but energy is low. People are technically collaborating but actually just working in parallel. Miscommunication, friction, and missed priorities pile up.

This workbook helps leaders:

• Spot the difference between pseudo-teams and high-functioning ones

• Assess how aligned their current team is

• Start practical changes without needing a full-on team retreat

• Understand what behaviors create cohesion vs. disconnection

• Apply structure to team check-ins, accountability, and role clarity

It's not theoretical. It’s designed to be used with your team to spark honest conversations, identify friction points, and course-correct in real time.

Who It’s For:

• Team leads and middle managers

• Project managers working with cross-functional teams

• Heads of department trying to reset culture without big HR programs

• Executive coaches and facilitators

• New leaders inheriting underperforming teams

• Internal culture or L&D leads in orgs who need tools that work
   

How to Use It:

You can use this solo to audit your own leadership approach or bring it into a meeting to assess your team’s health. The exercises work in both in-person and remote environments. Ideal for quarterly planning, post-project debriefs, or when a team feels stuck but isn’t sure why.
