Steps to Maintain Team Performance.
Reinforce the hard work of the people, the team, and management;
Slow the team down to examine evidence of progress and setbacks;
Supply the team with concrete steps to work on. Keeping the vagueness to a minimum, making progress on work that is meaningful.
This program provided me with a new perspective on leadership and communication. The facilitators really challenged us to think creatively, to work together to solve complicated problems using new methods, and most importantly, to reflect on how to positively change our tactics individually in order to become more effective leaders and communicators.
Understanding why someone resists your idea and request for help can be useful. The next step is to find what works and plan to meet that person in cooperation. You cannot change someone’s resistance, you can only change your approach.
I haven’t shared a Team Building Agenda post in a while.
Here is a team building orientation program created for ~100 incoming MBA students.
Think about it…what if Teaching Leadership did not exist.
It would require More Than Words. More than words to show you feel that your [leadership] is real ( who doesn’t love a Mr. Big Reference? )
Great discussions and smart fun challenging people – that makes TeamBuilding & Leadership work.
Your organization and work are changing around you, whether you want it to or not.
Having an understanding of how this change takes place, the steps that people go through and the systems-that-drive the negative and positive behaviors to this change are requisite to this change lasting or fading away.
Making team building stick is what people on the team want to see happen and you can make it happen with some discussion, planning and follow-up.
Before, During, After a team building activity and workshop the questions asked transfer the lessons learned and can guide the people to find connections to their work and lives.
The questions don’t need to be fancy.
Team-Building has to be integrated into the existing team structure, culture and goals + objectives of your company. People must see the connection between the team building activity and their work.
