Building Effective Teams

“Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.” 

Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable

Teamwork is the ultimate competitive advantage in a world where we are increasingly working with colleagues and team members remotely, virtually and across the globe meaning that we have to work as a collective rather than a group of individuals. The research by experts such as Lencioni and Tuckman show a number of factors that dramatically improve the probability of a team performing well. 

In this workshop we explore these factors so that you, as a manager and leader, can fast-track your teams to be the best they can, whether working remotely or physically together .  

By the end of the programme, participants will:

• Understand the factors that contribute to productive and high performing teams
• Explore where your team sits, currently, and what to do to help it progress 
• Be clear on what you, as a manager and leader, can do to develop your team and your individual team members
• Recognise the stages that teams go through when they come together and what you can do to ‘fast track’ that and overcome challenges  
• Identify team ‘de-railers’ that will negatively impact your team and have a range of action ready strategies to address them
