Frequently asked questions
Does it have to be the leader who runs the Beams (team sessions)?
No. Someone other than the manager can also take on the role of the Beammaster (the person who facilitates the process). This could be:
- Someone from HR
- A PA or Executive Assistant
- A regular team member
The sessions work well as long as the manager is also involved in the process. The key is to have a designated facilitator who ensures that the methodology is followed and the team stays on track, while the manager actively participates and supports the team's development journey.
What is the optimal team size?
The beams are designed for teams of 5-10 people. However, teams with up to 50 people have run it successfully. It's all about designing the process smartly so you get the most out of it.
Often, it's about thinking about dividing the department or large team into smaller teams or groups and then creating a common wrap-up.
Do I need any special training or experience to lead a Beam session with my team?
The beams are designed so that everyone can use them. To ensure that the specific program or beams match the manager and team's needs, we offer a thorough sparring session.
For new or existing teams?
Gurubeam's team development sessions are designed to benefit teams at any stage, whether you're building a new team from scratch, looking to enhance the performance of an existing one or onboarding new team members into existing teams.
Is Gurubeam good for onboarding?
Yes! Gurubeam's programs quickly provide new team members with a deep understanding of team dynamics, roles, and responsibilities, while also strengthening the existing team to better integrate new colleagues.
Can we run the Beams in our team meetings?
Yes, absolutely!
The more naturally you integrate the Beams into your everyday routine, the better. This ensures they fit in without creating a sense of extra busyness, and you will develop a learning culture that you can stick to once you've completed them all.

Can I use Gurubeam with my agile/scrum team?
Yes, we at Gurubeam have great experience with scrum teams running Beams as part of their retrospectives. In this way, these teams honor the nature of retrospectives and make the most of the sessions by creating a well-defined structure and proven approach to constantly optimizing the team's performance.
Can I use Gurubeam if my team is facing significant challenges?
We have successful experience running the program in really challenged teams. However, it requires an initial discussion to understand these challenges and their underlying reasons. We uncover this in the initial sparring session and decide together if Gurubeam aligns with your needs.
What is the best way to use Gurubeam?
The most important thing is to run your team development programs or individuals Beams in a way that allows your team to get the most out of them while fitting in with your team's rhythm. You can run one Beam a week or one a month. The key is to follow your path and ensure that you put what you learn into action. For optimal results, set aside time for a short check-in between the Beams to make sure you apply what you've learned and follow through on what you agreed upon.
