What You Will Cover

Characteristics of Star Performing Teams
The system used moves through crucial factors of managing and leading effective teams as shown in the model:

 

Appropriate and Effective Leadership
Leadership is a key factor of team management. Using behavioural frequency measures the following ten factors of leadership are examined: Emotional Intelligence, Effective Communication, Values Champion, Team Linker, Strategic Thinker, Change Facilitator, People Motivator, Responsibility Giver, Competent Performer and Situational Decision-Maker. The programme will help participants to understand what these factors mean in the context of their current management role and this will be achieved via a pre-workshop quantitative and qualitative assessment. The 360 degree approach utilises constructive feedback from managers, peers and subordinates. This feedback of leadership ability will give managers the tools to develop a practical action plan which will drive real leadership improvement.

Balance in Temperament and the Team Work Process
Building on the need for balance in a team, an opportunity is created for participants to review their own strengths and weaknesses and those of their team as a whole. Participants will also learn to employ an effective method of ensuring tasks/projects are completed consistently and to a high standard. The Manager who understands how different team members prefer to work can lead a diverse team towards higher achievement.
