Discover the Right Roles for the Right People

The Team Dimensions Profile® identifies five key roles in team performance: 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.
The profile presents the “Z Process” to map the flow of assigning roles, completing tasks, and handing off tasks to other team members. Using the four roles in the “Z Process” gets new teams moving forward quickly and gets current teams unstuck.
