TTU Principle
The TTU Principle: Support for Leaders Who are Facing Real Team Problems
TTU is built for leaders who are responsible for people, performance, and compliance—but don’t have time for vague advice or one-size-fits-all frameworks. It’s a structured, adaptive process that helps teams move through tension, misalignment, and operational drift with focus and integrity.
We’re not here to “fix culture.” We’re here to help you name what’s not working, recalibrate how your team operates, and build the conditions for mutual accountability and long-term partnership.
TTU Is the Right Fit When:
- Team-building didn’t fix it: Leaders invested in training or facilitation, but the underlying tension, avoidance, or dysfunction remains.
- The team’s stated values don’t match how they actually operate—and it’s starting to show in performance, morale, or reputation.
- Conflict keeps resurfacing: The same team dynamics keep derailing progress, despite previous attempts to “move forward.”
- The problem is sensitive, layered, or politically charged: It’s not just about behavior—it’s about power, perception, and what’s been allowed to persist.
- Accountability wasn’t consistent—and now the reset is triggering blowback.
Leaders are enforcing standards that weren’t upheld before, and the response includes claims of retaliation, favoritism, or discrimination.
What Sets TTU Apart
Most interventions chase symptoms. TTU identifies leverage points—without derailing your team or diluting your culture.
- Structured, Not Scripted: TTU flexes to your context while maintaining a rigorous, repeatable process.
- Rooted, Not Rushed: We don’t default to frameworks. We investigate what’s actually happening and build solutions that fit your operational and relational realities.
- Relational, Not Transactional: TTU builds trust through transparency, pacing, and respect. We don’t just solve problems—we help you lead through them.
TTU in Practice
TTU unfolds in three phases:
- Uncovering What’s Driving the Problem
We use interviews, assessments, and targeted inquiry to surface what’s shaping team dynamics—especially the patterns that have gone unnamed or unaddressed. - Designing a Response That Fits
We build a plan that balances urgency, nuance, and long-term viability. Our approach also protects the psychological safety of the people involved—we never quote or identify employees without explicit permission. If someone takes a risk to be honest, we honor that risk. They still have to work there when we leave. - Supporting Execution Without Overreach
We facilitate the conversations that matter, coach leaders through resistance, and leave behind clear next steps.
TTU Tracks
TTU powers two distinct service paths:
- TTU: Conflict Management
For teams navigating tension, misalignment, or breakdowns in trust, often rooted in unresolved team dynamics - TTU: Complex Consulting
For organizations facing cultural stressors, compliance risks, or strategic ambiguity.
Each path is built on the same principle: address what’s real, not just what’s visible.
Why TTU Works
TTU is for leaders who’ve outgrown generic advice. It’s for teams who need more than facilitation. Our process is rigorous but not heavy-handed. You stay in control—we stay in partnership. The result: fewer blind spots, stronger decisions, and interventions that actually shift team dynamics and stick.
