Teamwork Training

Leading & Facilitating Your Team

Provides organizational concepts, team development, coaching and leading techniques, team structure and team roles to help leaders and supervisors establish their team process for maximizing individual contributions and team problem solving and decision making.

Building Your Team

Overview of team composition, informal team member roles and responsibilities, and team decision-making styles. Includes participatory exercises. Team members will work together to strengthen individual and team skills.

Dynamics of Teams

Team development is based on the assumption that any group is able to work more effectively if its members are able to answer such questions as:

How can this collection of individuals work together more effectively?

How can we better use our resources?

How can members communicate with another to make better decisions?

What is impeding the team's process?

Specifically designed for actual work and project teams, team members will work together to improve individual and team skills that increase effectiveness and potential for success.

A team's success can be attributed to a basic awareness of teamwork, understanding the value of diversity, interpersonal communications, shared problem solving and decision making, and an ongoing evaluation of collaboration vs. competition. Topics are discussed using the experiential learning cycle. This group interaction and assessment of those interactions increases the knowledge, understanding, and ability to apply these key concepts.

This class can be expanded to include meeting skills, conflict resolution, team member style assessment and the use of basic problem solving tools to address the team process issues.
