Clarity Cubed Team Model: Unlocking High-Performance Leadership Teams

Are you overlooking the single most critical factor in your leadership team’s success?

The Clarity Cubed Team Model is the missing piece that helps high-performing organisations unlock their full potential. It’s a neuroscience-based framework, developed by Talent4Performance, that aligns leadership teams around three vital elements: Culture, Climate and Context.

Led by Alli Gibbons and David Klaasen, this workshop reveals how neuroscience underpins the T4P Clarity Cubed Team Model.

The Power of Brain Science in Team Performance

Our brains are hardwired for connection and clarity. Neuroscience reveals that for teams to thrive, they must meet three fundamental psychological needs:

• Purpose – Without a clear purpose, dopamine levels drop, motivation dips, and people disconnect. The Clarity Cubed Team Model helps align each team member’s daily work with the organisation’s larger goals, reigniting their motivation and focus.
• Relatedness – When psychological safety is lacking, the brain activates threat responses, impairing empathy, trust, and memory. By strengthening relatedness, teams build trust and connection, enabling open collaboration and mutual support.
• Goals – Vague or shifting goals confuse the brain and lower engagement. The model provides a structured way to establish clarity around objectives, ensuring everyone is working in sync towards measurable outcomes.

These three components are not just concepts – they are neurochemical realities that determine whether a team stagnates or excels. They also relate directly to the three elements of the Clarity Cubed Model (Clarity³):

• Culture: Identity, purpose, vision, values
• Climate: Behaviours, processes, relationships
• Context: Value proposition, goals, expectations

Practical Strategies You Can Use Immediately

The Clarity Cubed Team Model isn’t just theory—it’s deeply practical. Here are ways your team can apply it right now:

• To reaffirm your team’s purpose so you can link it explicitly to each person’s role.
• Foster psychological safety by encouraging regular, honest conversations.
• Create crystal-clear goals that are aligned, specific, and meaningful.
• The result? Increased engagement, better decision-making, and a more resilient team dynamic.
