Team Building
Working In Teams...Teams That Work
Now you're in teams, more involved with others on a daily basis,
and responsible for the team's results. Working in Teams...Teams
That Work explores the stages
of team development: diversity, team mission and team guidelines essential
to team's success.
We answer the questions: Why am I here? What is
expected of me?
How do I work in this team and still get my "regular" job done? Break Thru
the skepticism and difficulties of being on teams.
Tap into tips and techniques
and
an experiential trip through the Cascade Mountain Range to see if the team
will survive. Whether you have been in teams for a while, or just beginning,
Working
In Teams. . . Teams that Work takes advantage of the dynamics for a winning
team.
You're Not My Type...
But We Can Still Work Together
Ideally teams are made up of people whose strengths and preferences
are perfectly matched. In the real world each person is different.
People think, react, make
decisions, and work differently. Now all of these people are in a team being
managed by one person or self directed. Explore team differences to enhance
individual and team success, learn team behavior styles with
the DISCİ system, and create
action plans for improved work performance. Not only will you better understand
yourself, you will know more about your team and how to make it grow.
Keep Your Cool, Stand
Your Ground, Reach Positive Solutions
Fix it now! Don't let them sit. When conflicts arise instincts
are to become defensive, and to bury our thoughts and opinions.
Unresolved conflicts simmer
on, until they explode again and again. Before long a team is in defensive
mode and spending most of their time putting out the fires instead
of moving forward
working towards common goals. Cooperation is replaced by combat. Anger replaces
the fragile foundation of team trust. Eliminate Derailed Communication so we
can work efficiently and effectively and help us through our team journey.
The Cheezy Maze Of
Change
Change happens every day. Sometimes we are open to it, other
times we're not. Even when things are going well there's change.
There's always something new,
deadlines, pressure and the emphasis to do more. Sometimes there are internal
changes in procedures or personnel. How they personally go through the cheezy
maze of change makes a difference. Using the nationally acclaimed book and
video WHO
MOVED MY CHEESE?, we maneuver through the complexities and issues people
face, adopt change language and master the Cheezy Maze of Change.
Trust Me...It's All
About Us
What do ropes, blindfolds, paper bags, hats and toothpaste tubes
have in common? Together they equal TRUST. And trust is the cornerstone
of any successful team.
We'll wander through a series of exercises to build mutually respectful, beneficial
relationships among team members. Team members progress from defensiveness
to trust and learn how a team achieves more than a group of people.
Ropes, blindfolds,
paper bags, hats and toothpaste tubes will have a new meaning!
It Starts And Stops
With Me: Personal Accountability
Wouldn't it be nice with no more blame, no more pointing fingers,
and no more hearing "It's not my job." Learn the tools and techniques to take responsibility.
Understand the dynamics of looking at situations as "What can I be doing to make
things happen," as opposed to "What am I allowing to stop me and others from
moving forward." Notice everyone becoming more productive, less things falling
through the cracks, and everyone working together.
