All teams form, and storm. However, many teams never fulfill the purpose and fail to norm (lock-in processes and build momentum) or reach high performance. This half-day workshop for intact teams allows the group to create a shared understanding of what great teamwork looks like and how each person can add their unique value. Participants will explore the key roles and relationships that will energize the team’s work. Finally, the team will generate simple guiding principles that will direct how they go about achieving the team’s goals.
Target Audience:
Managers, team leaders, team members, and HR professionals.
The Problem:
Every team should be launched using a face-to-face kick-off. Key discussions regarding roles and goals, communication, collaboration, and decision-making would be discussed.
