You probably have a good sense of how your team is performing. But do you truly know how healthy your team is right now?
Performance alone doesn’t tell the full story. Your team might be hitting goals and delivering results—yet still be at risk of hidden challenges like early disengagement, communication breakdowns, and gaps in psychological safety that quietly undermine long-term success.
Team health is the foundation of sustainable performance. It includes how your team feels, communicates, and supports each other day-to-day. Without strong health, even high-performing teams can slip into burnout, unresolved conflict, or stalled growth.
Where Does Your Team Fit?
At Stephanie Freeth Coaching, we map team performance and health into four key zones, revealing the real state of your team’s dynamics:
Healthy & High Performing (High Performance, High Health) Your team is energized, aligned, and thriving—delivering results while supporting each other’s well-being. This balance creates resilience and sustained success.
Strain & Burnout (High Performance, Low Health) Your team is getting results but at a cost. Signs include exhaustion, rising stress, or unresolved tensions. This zone is often misunderstood because performance can mask health risks that will eventually erode effectiveness.
Performing Below Potential (High Potential, Low Execution) Energy and talent are present but not fully harnessed. Misalignment, unclear roles, or communication gaps prevent your team from reaching its true capability.
Turbulence (Low Performance, Low Health) Your team is struggling with both results and well-being. This zone signals urgent need for attention to rebuild trust, clarify priorities, and improve collaboration.
Why This Matters to You as a Leader
Many teams seem “fine” on the surface because goals are met or deadlines hit—but the hidden risks below the surface can quietly damage your culture, cause turnover, and stall growth. By understanding your Team Health Zone, you gain new awareness that helps you:
- Spot early signs of disengagement or conflict before they escalate
- Create a culture of psychological safety where every voice matters
- Address unseen patterns undermining long-term performance
- Build resilient teams that perform well AND thrive
