Effective Teambuilder
Many managers are aware of most of the aspects associated with the relationship of manager and employee. They are conscious of how they can appropriately motivate each employee and are possibly also aware of how to give them efficient and fruitful performance-feedback. However, one thing can still puzzle even the most seasoned manager: how to work with the whole of the team as one unit.
The proverb “a team is more than a group of individuals” might seem to be old-fashioned and over-used. However, it is the manager who must discover each day how true and up-to-date this saying is. The suppression of individual performance, the increase of competition within the team, and the scapegoating of certain members of the team can be frightening even for the most experienced and sensible managers.
In spite of all this, how can a team be more than just a group of individuals working beside one other? How can a manager recognize the first signs of a conflict before the conflict breaks out? And if he recognizes these first signs, is it advisable to intervene in certain situations? Can one create success out of the competitiveness among the team members in the interest of the entire group?
Is it possible, and if so, how can one create virtues out of team norms that seem to be negative? What counts as negative during the group development period, and which elements count as a premonition of extreme negative behavior?
Our training program is built upon the development stages of the group and reviews the distinctive features of these phases and possible tools of intervention. In possession of these tools, an efficient manager will become a true “team engineer” who, on the basis of his experience, his necessary knowledge of group dynamics, and his self-confidence is able to intervene and lead his group in the direction of more efficient operation. In this manner, the team can become an integral part of, and a basis for, the entire organization’s achievements.
By the end of the program the participants will know:
- the team requirements related to the managerial role
- the characteristic features of a team
- each phase of the group development process and their characteristics
- the opportunities to harmonize individual and team interests
- the characteristics and levels of conflict within a group
- the characteristics of group dynamics
- the components of group performance
By the end of the program the participants will be able to:
- assess the development level of each group development stage
- recognize what kind of managerial behavior is required in the case of the entire group
- clearly communicate their expectations concerning the team
- consciously select and utilize the appropriate managerial behavior and communicate in this manner with the team
- as the engineer of the team, to prevent or avert the factors which might hinder the operation of the group
- handle the conflicts that arise within the group
- develop the performance of the group
- complete the work in a humanitarian way
