Building High-Performing Teams:

Kay specializes in helping leaders and their teams go from struggling to high-performance. When she says “high-performance team” she is referring to one with a strong foundation built on these key areas:

1. Conflict Resolution: Team members manage conflict effectively and respectfully, even in times of high stress. They ensure that disagreements are resolved quickly without escalating into larger issues.
2. Open Communication: The team breaks down silos and fosters a culture of open and candid communication. Ideas and feedback are exchanged freely at all levels, with every team member’s perspective valued and considered.
3. Alignment: The team is unified in its values, goals, objectives, roles, responsibilities, success measures, workstreams, vision, and mission. This alignment ensures that everyone is marching cohesively in the same direction.
4. Cohesive Operations: Team members understand and agree with the processes, systems, and best practices necessary for their jobs. These systems are logical, effective, and contribute to the team’s overall efficiency.
5. Support & Accountability: The team is structured to get the best out of each member by leveraging their strengths. Each team member has a clear understanding that they are the best person for their job and feels accountable, knowing that the team relies on their contributions. 

By solidifying the five foundational factors, Kay believes trust, collaboration, culture, flexibility, resilience, and readiness to scale naturally emerge as sustainable byproducts.
