Course on How to Improve Team Management and Maintain a Team's Strength as it Matures

Fully Customisable Training Course Material

Description

“The basic building block of good teambuilding is for a leader to promote the feeling that every human being is unique and adds value.”

Anonymous

Suppose you have been in charge of a team and have been leading them for a while. You have followed management guidelines and tried hard to bring people together to improve communications and truly illustrate the importance of cooperative teamwork.

As a result, the team became better, took on bigger projects and delivered successful results, either in the form of services or generating new products.

However, after a while, you may start to notice that the team is beginning to get ahead of itself. Due to their past success, they start to feel invincible. Their success means they stop listening or observing what is happening around them. They ignore the obvious signals that the market is changing. They are so eager to agree with each other on all accounts that they become afraid of raising their concerns even when they can clearly see a given decision will be disastrous.

The team therefor becomes the victim of its own success. There is only one way to avoid this sad eventuality; a team must be monitored and managed continuously as it matures and as team members’ behaviour change based on the team’s history, achievements and failures.

This course follows from the Team Building course and covers a series of insights on what happens when a group of people interact with other over an extended amount of time and their relationship matures. Ultimately the responsibility to maintain the health of a team rests with the team leader. This course is ideal for teams who already have some experience in leading their team and want to make sure their continuous leadership remains relevant. The course helps avoid falling victim to unwanted management biases, become aware of known paradoxical effects, handle mismanaged conflicts, manage agreement and so on.

A variety of techniques and tools such as how to resolve conflicts, mediate or carrying out an impact analysis are also explored.

The course contains many examples, case studies, conversations and anecdotes. Interactive exercises are designed explicitly to help delegates practice the skills and tools during the course.

In addition, several traditional team building exercises are also bundled with this package which a team leader can use to run team building events for their teams.

In this highly practical course participants will learn:

About the Design Philosophy of Advanced Team Building Course

Generally, team building is mainly associated with the initial stage of creating a team and putting a number of people together to achieve an objective. Team building therefor consists of many management techniques as well as attending team building events for a shared experience which help bring a team together.

However, as a team matures, a team leader should be on the lookout for new potentially damaging developments. For example, research shows that team members can develop a tendency to agree with each other on everything as a way to avoid confrontation. This constant agreement can then lead to poor decision making because no one is willing to highlight the obvious issue.

This course is designed to cover such areas and help managers stay in control of their team. Many times, awareness of an effect is enough to help a leader make the right decisions when managing a team. As a result we have included many engaging stories and case studies to help leaders learn about various management effects and also help them remember the guidelines.

The course contains a variety of exercises to help delegates learn the techniques by applying them directly to a realistic case. These are then followed by group discussions as delegates are encouraged to share their experiences.
