Team Dynamics Workshop

Many of today’s leadership teams are under significant pressure to deliver stretch goals that have become the norm, manage several key initiatives and a diverse and often dispersed team.  In addition they are expected to be an engaged and positive peer.  This can be difficult due to several factors including:

• Counter-productive reward and recognition systems

• Competition for resources

• Few organic opportunities to collaborate with peers

Obviously this dynamic costs the company time, money and lost opportunities and revenues.  Leadership teams must be in-sync in order for organizational goals and objectives to be achieved.

Our team dynamics workshop uses the following model to: surface the current state, articulate the desired state and develop an action planning to bridge the gap.

What team members learn:

• Leaders have a higher level of awareness regarding the current state of the team

• Impact on the business

• Establish “rules of engagement” for:

• Surfacing and managing issues

• Managing conflicting priorities and objectives

• Leaders exhibit behaviors that set the standard

Deliverables of the session:

• Clear understanding of team current state
• Agreed upon “rules of engagement”
• Action plan including responsibilities  for achieving desired state
• A functional, aligned leadership team
