Are you involved with teams? Want to be able to shape team dynamics toward more productive outcomes?
Come dive below the surface of personalities and words to discover the perspectives that shape them.
We’ll learn together and from each other through facilitated hands-on experiences.
You will be able to apply what you learn immediately and directly to improving the quality of interactions.
The efforts of teams is widely regarded to be a competitive differentiator. Being a member of a high-performing team is often reported as a life high point by those who experience it. All around us there is a growing emphasis on teams and teamwork.
Yet effective teams remain elusive. More often groups of people who come together simply cooperate rather than collaborate. They avoid productive conflict, instead engaging in counterproductive discourse.
We can do better. As coaches, we can learn how to read the underlying dynamics that drive team behavior. To enable them to understand what drives their interactions (hint, it’s not the individuals!).
Facilitators will guide the group through a series of experiential activities to teach David Kantor’s Four Player Model and David Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model. Both models are robust and have been thoroughly researched and widely applied.
This may very well be the answer to getting your stuck teams to move beyond their perceived issues toward collaboration and creativity!
