About this listen

Many groups calling themselves teams are actually "TINOs" (Teams In Name Only) — collections of individuals focused on their own functional KPIs rather than collective goals. Transforming them into real teams needs three critical elements: a shared goal that transcends individual targets, genuine interdependence through cross-functional strategies, and executing together on making work visible and collaborative.


Three reasons to listen

  • Identify the telltale signs you’re in a Team in Name Only
  • Transform TINO behaviour into genuine teamwork
  • Build psychological safety and interdependence amongst team members so they feel supported rather than isolated
