Building High-Performance Teams offers invaluable insights into the leadership characteristics required for assembling and developing teams committed to first-rate work. Participants explore just what constitutes a “team,” what kinds of skills and tools can be used to enhance team effectiveness, and how work units and cross-functional teams can achieve improved quality of working together.
OFFERING DETAILS
Building High-Performance Teams is a practical, one-day, facilitator-led leadership effectiveness program. By participating in a variety of activities, learners discover that the most effective teams in the workplace are those that take a shared-responsibility approach to the decision-making process. Team members who become stakeholders change into “committed stakeholders”.
Specifically, participants learn and explore the elements of a high-performance team:
- Participative leadership marked by a commitment to the team’s respective strengths and collective responsibilities
- A shared-responsibility mindset
- A shared sense of purpose
- An open, non judgmental communication norm with multiple lines of communication
- A focus on the future direction of the team
- Ongoing ability to adapt to change
- A focus on and clarity around the tasks at hand
- A commitment to unleashing the talents and creativity of all team members
- A rapid response to the team’s decisions and problems, as well as to customer needs
