Description
Working well with others in a team allows you to solve problems, negotiate differences and find new and innovative ways of doing things that improve morale and enhance productivity. While most of us know this, it's not always that easy to make it happen. Understanding your work style and how you operate with the different styles of your colleagues, gives the team a platform to use your strengths to advantage and manage your weaknesses. As a result, the team develops trust and understanding.
This experiential workshop is designed to promote best practice through the presentation and application of the Belbin Team Roles concepts and the impact of group dynamics on teamwork. The interactive and practical exercises allow you to develop an understanding of your roles within your own team and across your organisation, so that you can capitalise on your strengths and maximise the team's collective output. You are encouraged to reflect on the concepts presented and your performance in your team.
