A team’s way of working
Why can some teams come together, tackle challenging issues, and produce excellent results, while others can’t? Why is it that when smart leaders try to function as a team, the team so often gets stuck? Why does the team as a whole seem less smart than the sum of the talents of its individual members?
Through dialogue this 3 hour workshop will identify a common purpose, shared values, beliefs and wanted behaviours needed for an attractive and competitive team culture.
The outcome from this exercise together with a shared vision and mission will form a strong foundation for the team culture.

While the assessment will provide perspective, the value is in the discussion it elicits and the action plan necessary to minimise the risks of the 5 Dysfunctions manifesting in the team.

Dealing with Change
When dealing with change we are bound to run into barriers of resistance. People issues at all levels are paramount to successful change, and these must be addressed continually at all stages of change.

This workshop provides the knowledge and skills required to plan changes in your organisation, to better understand and manage human aspects of change, and to build consensus for the steps required.
