Working in a Team

The successful fulfillment of a project or process depends on the ability of the members of the project team, both inside and outside the organization, to work well together.  If your organisation is small, it may consist of one team depending on each other to fulfil the organisation's aims.

We can offer training and or facilitation to enable your team to work more effectively together.  We will address whatever process and issues would be most relevant to your team.  This could include:

• Facilitating the team to decide an action plan to deal with a change, to improve performance; to prepare for future developments
• The nature of working in a team and what's special about your team
• What do you expect from your team colleagues and what can they expect from you?
• Team meetings - how to make them contributory, concise, and creative
• Team problem-solving - exploring ways of dealing with challenges in the team to make the best use of team diversity
• Team roles - we have preferences for the roles we take in a team; who does what in your team and what happens if no-one has a preference for some of the roles?
• Team development - building a team; team stages to reach peak performance; change in the team
• Communicating assertively in the team

The team session could be half-day, one or two days or more depending on the requirement.  We can include team activities and games to enable teams to gain insights into how they work together and have fun doing so!  Sessions will end with an action plan to implement in the workplace.

Team-building with the Myers Briggs Personality Profile

The MBTI personality indicator enables individuals to understand their own preferences, and enables team members to understand how best to work with others who have different preferences.  A team-building event based on the MBTI helps the team to understand how to work better together, the nature of their team profile, and where the strengths and weaknesses of the team lie.  The day's activities can be tailored to the needs of your particular team.
