Training Course Summary:

Teams carry out most tasks in a modern business. As the ability to work as a team is vital to the success of the organisation, people must first become team players. They must have the ability to work with others and be able to recognise and react to factors that inhibit team growth. Participants will recognise that the ‘whole is bigger (and more successful) than the sum of the parts’. They will also learn which personalities are most likely to combine effectively and how to deal with problems within the team. Participants will take part in a range of team activities that will provide them with greater experience of team dynamics. They will also have an opportunity to discuss how their team performs so that communication and understanding within the team can be enhanced and can be transferred back to the workplace.

Who Should Attend:

Those wishing to gain a thorough understanding of how effective teams are formed and maintained.
