Break Through What's Holding Your Team Back

At Aegis360®, we believe every team has the potential to become high-performing, with the right habits, mindset, and support. Crash the Barrier: Build Your Team® is a hands-on, immersive workshop designed to help your team identify what’s getting in the way, build stronger relationships, and move forward together.

Through simulation, collaboration, and guided reflection, teams develop the tools they need to break through internal barriers and build a culture of trust, accountability, and performance.

What Is Crash the Barrier: Build Your Team®?

Crash the Barrier: Build Your Team® is a facilitated team development experience that guides your team through a realistic business simulation, uncovering challenges that limit effectiveness. The centerpiece of the workshop is Hypersque, a fictional company facing a variety of team dysfunctions that mirror real-world issues.

Your team will step into the shoes of Hypersque’s leadership team, diagnose problems, and co-create solutions. Along the way, they’ll explore the Five Habits of High-Performing Teams—a research-based framework for lasting team transformation.

The Five Habits of High-Performing Teams

At the core of this workshop are the Five Habits of a High-Performing Team. These essential behaviors are the foundation for long-term success and are woven throughout the simulation and debrief sessions:

  • Collaboration: It’s more than just working side-by-side. Teams learn to co-create solutions, actively contribute, and achieve shared goals.
  • Purpose: Teams define the deeper “why” behind their work, aligning their efforts with the value delivered to clients.
  • Trust: Built through communication, consistency, ethics, and empathy, trust is the glue that holds teams together.
  • Accountability: Using our RA² approach (Responsibility + Authority = Accountability), teams set high standards and hold each other to them.
  • Engagement: A culture where team members are committed, passionate, and motivated to make a difference.

These habits aren’t just discussed—they’re practiced, evaluated, and embedded into action plans for ongoing development.
