Team Building Workshops
Most people in organisations work in teams. A
Team Building workshop enables a team to tackle the most important issues it faces
and to improve the way its members work together. This leads to long term
improvements in business effectiveness.
Excellent
teams:
·
have a clear,
attractive and shared long range vision
·
are clear what
steps need they need to take to achieve their vision
·
have excellent
internal communications. Everyone can contribute and everyone listens well
·
are able and
willing to influence the organisation outside the team
·
have members that
give each other accurate and helpful feedback
·
have positive and
effective team meetings
Team building starts with a half day meeting
with the manager of the team followed by a half day meeting with the team
members and the manager together. The purpose of the meetings is to understand
the issues, culture and expectations of those involved and to create a positive
expectation in the participants. At the end it is possible to create a design
that suits the team's special needs.
The workshop itself takes two or three
days depending on the numbers of people in the team and their needs. There is a
follow-up session six weeks later.
The results of this approach include:
·
members
appreciating that they all want the same future
·
greater agreement
on priorities and clearer plans to reduce ineffectiveness.
·
vastly improved
mutual listening and support
·
managers
developing rapidly because of enhanced feedback and support
·
substantial
progress on key business issues
Quotes from two participating teams
Communication
and delegation have improved out of all recognition
Everyone is feeling far more confident. This is leading to more effectiveness.
