Management Training:

Building and leading teams

Objective

To provide managers with the skills required to effectively lead and motivate a team, and to enhance their effectiveness as a team member within their peer group.

By the end of the workshop, managers will be able to:-

• Identify the characteristics of a high performing team and assess their own team against these characteristics.
• Understand the impact of changes in a team situation and the stages of team development
• Identify their own contribution to any team that they lead as well as teams that they participate in.
• Develop an action plan to maximise the effectiveness of any team that they lead
• Develop an action plan to improve their own effectiveness as a team member

Content

• Characteristics of a high performing team
• Stages of team development
• Assessment - understanding team dynamics
• Identifying your own unique contribution to the team
• Key considerations when communicating with other team members to maximise effectiveness and gain buy in and support

Outputs

• I now understand my own style and what I bring to a team either as their leader or as a team member and what I need to focus on to maximise the effectiveness of the teams in which I work.
• I have a better understanding of my team members (my peer group / staff) and have greater clarity on how I need to approach different situations
• This has given me a great insight, we now work so much better together, we work together rather than against each other. N.B. this workshop can be tailored to include a pre workshop team analysis to be used as key focus for workshop - extremely effective if used for team who normally work together
