Successful teams
Successful teams know what their purpose is, agree on their values and ways of working and are able to quickly re-set the course if they go off track or encounter problems.
Why Team development?
A team that works well together is productive, effective and positive. Investing in your team pays you back in productivity and attaining your goals.
Is your team working well together or are they all pulling in slightly different directions. It’s great to work with people who are dedicated to what they do but dedication doesn’t always produce the best results.
I work with teams from senior management to front line, helping them to achieve so much more by working together as a team rather than as a group of individuals. Get in touch to find out more about my Dynamic Sustainability Team Solution
How does it work?
I spend time finding out your needs, listening to managers and team members before assessing what action will bring the best results for you.
Together we decide on what can best help you and fit with your time frame and financial budgets
Working in half day sessions, the team reflects on their current working practice and learns how to improve
Your team development will:
- be bespoke – designed for you, not off the shelf
- be interactive and enjoyable as well as challenging
- make a positive difference to how your team functions
- and did I say, it will be fun too?
Here are some of the ways I could work with your team. Click the dropdown titles for more detail.
Away Day
I facilitate a day for the team where you discover more about yourselves and each other. Gain perspective on the work you do. Look critically at your team strategy and goals and go away with some ideas and pointers for how to work better as a team towards achieving your aims
A programme of regular sessions meeting with a team over a year (could start with an Away Day)
We look in more depth not only at the team itself but at the wider context, the history and the external pressures so the team can become resilient and better able to respond and deliver the outcomes required by the organisation.
Understanding our particular ways of working and being in the world.
I deliver the psychometric system – Myers Briggs Type Indicator. Based on the work of the psychologist Carl Jung, this, indicator, which is used worldwide, helps you to understand your approach to the world and how others ‘tick’ too. We spend half a day on delivery of this and a second half day considering practical ways to implement it at work.
Where passion meets professionalism
You are passionate about what you want to do. You care about your clients, the environment and the state of the world, but sometimes passion isn’t quite enough. Sometimes it’s the boring things which will make the biggest difference. Are your team processes clear and fit for purpose? Is every member of the team working to their strengths? Are you paying enough attention to results? The Passion meets Professionalism programme ensures your team covers all bases and doesn’t just get carried away with the passion, important though that is.
