- Do your teams collaborate well today?
- Are your teams creative, developing innovative solutions or products?
- Do your team members feel satisfied with their results?
Organizations use teams (big and small), have different types of teams (functional and project based), and yet often teams (co-located or virtual) just don’t work! They can expend more energy, becoming a frustrating experience for members.
Building Effective Teams workshops look at these issues of coordination and motivation. We work with teams to help them realize their full potential success.
Your teams will benefit from our approach by:
- Better understanding their areas of strengths and challenges
- Knowing who the other members are, not just their existing roles and responsibilities, but the individual styles that contribute to the team’s success
- Developing a compelling direction where accountability is the norm
- Engaging in an “out of cube” experience with other team members
- Learning it’s okay to ignite conflict and how to produce resolution, thereby creating opportunities for real team magic to occur.
Our team building process includes, along with group fundamentals and the dynamics, the following:
- Team assessment profile measuring seven areas of team performance
- Team member’s individual style profiles illustrating how they interact with others
- Opportunities to be candid with one another while developing trusting connections
- Understanding team direction, roles, and when clear boundaries benefit them
- Initiating and managing conflict by understanding conflict modes and when to use them
- Developing action plans for doing and growing
- Experiencing real time feedback about their behavior
Workshops can be delivered in a series of full or half days. These sessions are designed to be experiential; enhancing self-awareness of team members. We custom tailor each session to meet specific team needs and goals.
In addition, we incorporate team coaching into the sessions and actual team meetings, offering real time feedback. Team coaching reinforces and firmly establishes team learning and skill building while affirming team development and progress.
