Basics of Team Building
Team Building
is a process in which a work group examines how
it is currently operating, identifies how it could
improve its effectiveness, and implements the
procedures and processes that enable it to get the job
done in the best possible way. In this course, the
participants will focus on how teamwork can impact
positively on accomplishing tasks and on
conflict resolution in work teams.
They will define their roles in improving the quality
of services/products that your company provides, and
they will build teamwork skills.
Participants will Learn
to
-
Link team efforts
to department or functional goals
-
Recognize when a
team is working well or not
-
Use techniques for
helping a team assess how well it is functioning
-
Understand why
people behave the way they do in groups
-
Use tools that
result in more effective meetings
-
Create a plan for
using the techniques they have learned on the job
Approach to learning
The
participants will use a self-assessment exercise to
better understand how they personally feel about
working in a team, to recognize the issues affecting
how people work together and how to handle
conflict resolution in their work
teams. Using their own experience, they create
a tool and use it to assess the level of teamwork in
their own areas. Through a series of group exercises,
case studies, and role plays, they will learn a
variety of techniques for making their teams more
effective.
The
Nature of Experiential Learning
Experiential
learning is both exciting and challenging. It includes
a range of different processes such as individual or
team problem solving initiatives, physical challenges,
games, simulation exercises, structured processes,
sharing sessions, guided visualisations, and
structured interactions. In all these events, students
are actively engaged in the learning process and are
able to generate meaningful, relevant insights from
their experience.
The
Nature of Experiential Learning has been defined as
having four main characteristics:
The learner
is aware of the processes which are taking place, and
which are enabling learning to occur; the learner is
involved in a reflective experience that enables the
person to relate current learning to past, resent and
future; the experience and content is personally
significant: what is being learned and how it is being
learned hold a special importance for that person;
there is an involvement of the whole self - body,
thoughts, feelings and actions, not just of the mind.
In other words, the learner is fully engaged as a
whole person.

Leadership Training Courses
Mastering
Leadership requires continuous attention to a number of
complex issues. True leadership is strategic, not tactical; that is
to say that leadership addresses long-term issues, not short-term
crises. Effective leaders also find that all members of a
team
must be ready to play critical leadership roles, reinforcing the
idea that leaders teach others to be leaders, not followers. And,
successful leaders know that the needs of the group guide the
techniques and strategies that leaders use to guide and facilitate
the activities of the group.
