High-performing teams don’t happen because an organization hires enough high performers—they emerge when leaders intentionally create the conditions for people to do their best work together. In this interactive workshop, senior HR and People & Culture leaders explore Unicorn Labs’ Six Levels of High-Performing Teams as a practical framework for examining the environments their organizations create around psychological safety, empowerment, communication, leadership culture, innovation, and strategic alignment. Participants will reflect on where their organization is enabling high performance today, where systems or leadership behaviours may be getting in the way, and where People & Culture can have the greatest leverage.

Key Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the Six Levels of High-Performing Teams and the organizational conditions that allow teams to become greater than the sum of their individual talent.

  • Identify where leadership behaviours, cultural norms, and people practices may be enabling—or unintentionally limiting—team performance.

  • Apply the framework as a practical lens for shaping leadership development, culture, and talent strategies that strengthen performance across the organization.
