The Optimum Team Player Assessment & Development

Peak’s Optimum Team Player Assessment (OTP) helps business build and retain cohesive, high-performing teams that are so critical to organizations of every size and scope. Even the biggest corporations are only as strong as their weakest team.

The Optimum Team Player not only performs well within a team but exhibits traits and behaviors that ensure ongoing success such as:

  • strong communication skills,

  • respect for their coworkers,

  • a high level of personal responsibility, and

  • a strong desire to go "above and beyond" on the job - performing discretionary actions that are outside their formal job description.

3 scientifically backed pillars of human behavior that affirm the Optimum Team Player

(These three qualities also contribute to reduced stress, increased productivity, creativity, curiosity, career advancement, teamwork, engagement, and high levels of job satisfaction or work meaningfulness.)

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB)

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) means going "above and beyond" at work or when an employee contributes beyond the formal job description or assigned duties. It is an action taken by an individual that is voluntary and not formally recognized or rewarded by an organization, but promotes the organization’s effective functioning and mission. Simply put, it is elective behavior that goes above and beyond the requirements of the job to help benefit the organization or the team, yet is not necessarily compensated by the traditional organizational reward system.

Examples of OCBs include helping a coworker with a work-related issue and promoting a positive, healthy work environment.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence, or EQ, is the capacity to understand and manage your emotions. It is that "essence" in each of us that affects how we govern our behavior, navigate social complexities, and make personal decisions which power us to achieve positive (or negative) outcomes. And most importantly, it drives our life, work and career success.

Emotional Intelligence is responsible for 58% of individual performance.

Mindset

Mindset.com defines mindset as “a collection of beliefs and thoughts that make up the mental attitude, inclination, habit, or disposition that predetermines a person’s interpretations and responses to events, circumstances and situations.” Simply stated: Your mindset is your way of thinking, your disposition, or your frame of mind. Your mindset shapes your attitude, thoughts, perceptions, how you respond to setbacks and drives your ability to achieve transformational results.

There’s nothing more important to a organization's overall health than having the right mindsets in the right seats at the right time. There will always be those who allow attitudinal/behavioral issues to upend their success -- but together we can control our exposure to the fixed mindsets that can impede our mission, and through direct mindset training, we can help others rise beyond their own self-imposed limitations. Win-Win-Win.
