Team Development Training

Team Development Training Course Outline

Overview

What occurs when you bring a bunch of great talents into a room and pretend they'll all just get along? Do they quickly gel into a high performing unit, or do they find themselves out of sync, like a bunch of musicians trying to play a symphony without a conductor?

The truth is, that most team's challenges (mis communications, inefficiencies and egos) aren't because other team members aren't good enough, but rather because they don't have the basic skills to work together effectively. This is an in depth team building training that covers the foundational factors that ultimately will distinguish a team that is just getting by and one that is thriving.

Drawing from real world scenarios and action oriented strategies, this programme goes beyond simple team building exercises to help participants understand the psychology and mechanics of teamwork. Participants will work with proven strategies that lead to long term changes in team relations, communication processes and collaborative results.

Workshop is packed with interactive discussion, case study review and practical messages that will allow students to implement them on practice immediately. Instead of theories, this programme offers practical tools that teams can use to overcome obstacles, harness individual talents and create long lasting work relationships.

Training Methodology

The programme is based on interactive workshops, role plays, case studies and peer learning sessions. Learners exercise applying learnt techniques upon their own everyday work, with real life scenarios, of direct relevance. Focused workshops create some individual attention and presentations, whilst broader discussions encourage cross learning from other views.

Concluding Remarks

In effective team work, people work together deliberately, they don't just happen to play nicely, and with raised understanding of what the others are doing. The team development training delivers the specific skills and frameworks needed to turn any group of people into a high performing team.

It's an investment in team building that often pays off in increased productivity, decreased workplace stress, happier employees, and even a healthier bottom line. When they work, they make work more fun, more efficient and more meaningful for all involved.

You will walk away with practical tools you can use right now, better interpersonal skills, and the confidence to lead change in your team's interactions. Last but not least, they develop the capacity to actually build those workplace cultures where people really do want to contribute their best in collaboration toward common objectives.
