Workshop: Team Building Training
By harveyrobbins | August 28, 2007
What is it?
Today’s companies are fast turning to team building as a means for organizing and doing work. In theory, teams increase productivity; they improve communication; they make better use of resources; they are more creative and more efficient at solving problems; they make and implement higher quality decisions.
In reality, however, many companies and managers have found teams prone to problems that make them ineffective. Teams become confused about goals; they have difficulty in reaching decisions; individuals don’t accept their roles; team leaders don’t always act like one. In short, the promise of teams has fallen short of our expectations.
Packed with practical questions and answers about teams, this one-day team building workshop identifies the obstacles that prevent teams from achieving their potential and provides methods to remove them. This workshop is based on the book WHY TEAMS DON’T WORK, winner of the 1995 Global Business Book Award
What’s in it?
Some of the topics covered during this workshop include:
• The characteristics of effective team members
• Building trust on teams
• The five fundamentals to effective teamwork
• The major interpersonal barriers to teamwork: perceptual differences; behavioral style (personality) differences; cultural differences.
• A new view of the various stages of team building
• The differences between bad, good, and exceptional (high performance) teams
Who should use it?
Team Building Training is a one-day awareness version of the two-day MAKING TEAMS WORK workshop. It is designed for all individuals, managers, and senior executives who have a desire to learn why teamwork has not been as successful in some circumstances as had been hoped, to get the most out of existing teams, and to start off new teams on the right foot.
