THEMES
- Co-operating - Relationships make business tick
- Teams vs. Groups
- Nesting: team - dept - company
- Team development stages and their applications
- Personal preferences - how they are useful and how they get in the way
- Mutual respect and willingness to help each other
- Shared responsibility for team (NOT the “it’s not my job, I’m OK” frame on life)
- How to communicate to all others in your team
- Multiple team membership – what’s your relationship to the many?
- Information blockages and solutions
- (other options are available to allow a close fit to your requirements such as Myers Briggs Type Indicator)
WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN DO AS A RESULT
- Open debate on how meaningful work is usually dependent on the way we interact with others in our teams.
- Explore the meaning of 'team' including having a common goal
- How many teams are you part of – what’s the bigger picture and how does your micro team fit with the macro team(s)? What can you do to serve them all concurrently with no more effort?
- Practise exercises in small teams with group debrief to see how stages of teams evolve in their own experience.
- Participants explore what they should do at each team development stage. Ties that bind teams together.
- Know the importance of serving each other as you would be served.
- Understand their own personal type of operating and how it fits or clashes with others and what they can do about it.
- Winners (inc teams) tend to be the most flexible to deal with the vagaries of real situations. Use Belbin team roles model with self-assessment questions to explore which roles they take on and which they need to develop in personally.
- Explore how much effort they should spend on each team they are in by using evaluation process analogous to Boston Matrix (cash cows, dead dogs, rising stars and problem children metaphors).
- Each person produces a personal tailored check-list which relates to their own demonstration of their values of belonging to and operating in a team.
