Team Building

Innovative and successful organizations rely on teams for greater productivity. Problems on the job are solved more effectively and less stressfully when managers and team leaders deal with what people do rather than with their attitudes or personal characteristics. Involving team members in decision-making, problem solving, and other non-routine, on-the-job activities are one of the manager’s or team leader’s key motivational tools.

Participants of this workshop will learn to identify their personal strengths and challenges, build a more cohesive and collaborative working unit, and invent a sense of interdependence and exchange as they determine how they can leverage and support each team member’s contribution.

Objectives:
- Distinguish between a work group and a team
- Discuss the characteristics and dynamics of effective teams
- Identify the stages of team development
- Use problem solving and observation techniques to evaluate team member effectiveness
- Develop expectations from employees in interacting with co-workers and supervisors
