Most teamwork problems aren't about skill. They're about how people communicate, collaborate, lead, and trust. PRISM® Workstyle gives you the language to name what's happening on your team, and practical strategies to bridge it.
When workstyles clash, the team feels it before anyone can name it. Different speeds. Different ways of disagreeing. Different reads on hierarchy. Productivity slows, trust frays, and no one knows quite why.
Your colleagues and team members increasingly grew up in different countries, industries, and households. Their defaults aren't yours. Most people learn this the hard way, through misunderstanding.
You can't change anyone's defaults overnight. But the moment you can name yours and theirs, the friction has language. Language is the start of every real solution.
97% of employees say poor teamwork negatively impacts their work. The single greatest factor in whether a team collaborates, feels safe, and performs well is their leader's cross-cultural workstyle awareness.

PRISM is a research-based team assessment that measures cross-cultural workstyle differences to help leaders and teams improve performance. Your PRISM profile shows how you approach the five dimensions: power, risk, identity, speed, messaging.
PRISM doesn't label you. It places you on a continuum across each dimension, giving you the language to bridge workstyle differences instead of getting stuck in them.
PRISM is one part of Global TeamLEAD, David Livermore, PhD's broader framework for working and leading across cultures. Other layers (communication, leadership, contribution) are available separately. This course focuses on PRISM Workstyles.
Power, Risk, Identity, Speed, Messaging. Five continuums that surface the cross-cultural patterns in how you work.
Flat · Top-down
How you relate to authority and shared decision-making. Whether you treat hierarchy as a given or something to flatten.
Tolerant · Averse
How comfortable you are acting before every detail is settled. Your appetite for ambiguity and learning by doing.
Self-oriented · Group-oriented
Where you find your footing. In your own work and judgement, or in the success and connection of the team.
Faster · Slower
How quickly you commit and how patient you are with the slower work of consensus, planning, and reflection.
Direct · Indirect
How directly you say what you actually think, and how much of the meaning you leave to context.
