A clear understanding of individual roles working together toward a common goal is the first step in creating high performance teams. This profile identifies five roles in innovative team performance: creator, advancer, refiner, executor, and facilitator.

This profile helps individuals work from their strengths by identifying their most natural team role. This awareness also helps team members value the characteristics and contributions of others.

• Creator: Generates fresh ideas and original concepts. Goes beyond the obvious and sees the 'big picture'. Hands off tasks to an Advancer.
• Advancer: Recognizes new directions in early stages and develops ways to promote and move ideas toward implementation. Hands off tasks to a Refiner.
• Refiner: Challenges and analyzes ideas to detect potential problems. May hand ideas and plans back to Advancer or Creator before handing off tasks to Executor.
• Executor: Manages final implementation, paying attention to details and striving for quality outcomes.
• Facilitator: Monitors and moves the process along. Ensures that tasks are done and handed off at the right time.

Don't get stuck with too many team members playing the same role at the same time. Create a successful team by identifying individuals who can perform each of the five C.A.R.E. roles and do the right thing at the right time!
