Introduction

With decades of Special Operations experience in ambiguous, complex and dangerous environments where results matter, Reticle understands the power teams.  Leaving the development of teams to chance is not an option – the stakes are simply too high.  

We believe in the power of teams and are passionate about unlocking their full potential.  Regardless of the context or level, the principles behind building high performing and resilient teams remain the same.  We combine Special Operations best practices, performance coaching, and evidence-based research to elevate and shock-proof your team’s performance. 

Context

Psychological safety is a concept that gets a lot of buzz these days, and for good reasons.  A team can only benefit optimally from being a team, when its members feel free to bring their expertise, ideas, and concerns to the table.  What remains unclear, however, is how you create an environment like this?  

Organizations are also struggling to fully realize their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which psychological safety underpins.  Creating a healthy and sustainable culture that reinforces DEI while elevating performance and reducing employee turnover is critical.
