Supporting and Developing Teams
We can help develop newly formed teams, teams with history, or teams formed of two or more former teams
Before the Sessions
We work with several members of the team and managers to set objectives and build a plan. Team members may undertake assessments or other work as a basis to develop further during the session(s).
The Session
Teams begin by getting to know each other as individuals.
We develop a shared picture of why the team exists and where it is going. The team works together to develop processes to move them to their joint goals, learning to listen, problem solve, and collaborate on decisions and planning.
We create an atmosphere of safety, support and challenge
We also…
- Offer experience and examples of other teams challenges and creativity
- Make sure every team member, regardless of learning and activity style gets to contribute
- Ask incisive questions to test assumptions and understanding
- Develop a variety of points of view
- Model how to seek agreements and manage divergent opinion
