Team Building
Teams are essential building blocks in any organization. Usually, however, their effectiveness is constrained by the inablity of their members to clarify their relationships in a skillful way. As a result, most teams stay far behind their potential, thus hampering the performance of the entire organisation. In this training, we introduce a model for optimizing team collaboration, against which participants can try out how well they work together as a team under conditions of competition. We take a close look at the various team development phases and team roles. Participants will get the opportunity to reflect on both the level of development as well as team roles in their own team, and tackle their individual team challenges through collegial practice counseling. In addition, participants will learn how to provide each other with deliberate feedback, so as to quickly move on to focus on task accomplishment.
