Developing High Performance Teams

In a commercial environment where there is no such thing as business as usual, it is crucial to your competitive edge that managers gain maximum efficiency, flexibility and potential from their teams. Especially as today, teams cross functions and boundaries such as locations, time zones and cultures.

This course looks at the ingredients of a successful team and provides the tools that enable managers to make the most of their teams. Learners work using their Belbin Team Preferences profile to understand how they operate in a team, and to see how they could utilise others’ team preferences more effectively. We use team projects across the two days to bring the concepts to life and allow us to examine a team in action.

This course will help learners by:

• Identifying the key tasks and activities involved in successful team working
• Appreciating different styles of team working and their relative strengths
• Gaining a greater understanding of their style of working and its impact on the team
• Developing ideas and plans for helping their team achieve its full potential
• Comparing experiences with others from varying backgrounds
• Giving and receiving feedback on their performance as team members and leaders when working on a project
• Planning how to incorporate practical considerations such as building and motivating
