Big news this week on The High Five! We're preparing for the official launch of the Teamangle, a team diagnostic to help uncover, diagnose, and solve challenges in the areas of communication, collaboration, and culture.

We're so excited about this launch, and while nothing is live yet, we've had tons of positive conversations with folks about the work we've done so far. Greg wrote Introducing our new team development and leadership framework, the Teamangle to start discussing the concept and dives into how and why we created Teamangle. Brett shares all of the upcoming Teamangle products and opportunities we have lined up for you. We hope you can feel the excitement!

Have a wonderful week.

Starting this week, we're publishing two new articles per week on our blog, Same Page. Moving forward, we'll be discussing those articles on The High Five. To kick us off, Greg recaps his latest article, Teams have to communicate. In the article, Greg brings up two team personas who solve team problems but might cause more problems due to a lack of communication. We talk about giving individuals and teams authority and autonomy to solve problems, share information, and help everyone succeed.

Anyway, we're excited to share more about what we're writing and welcome your perspective too. If you have a hot take on what we're discussing, email us at highfive@sameteampartners.com.
