Team Building
Successful flatter
organisations recognise the benefits of team working. Talented and
competent people are being formed into teams, working parties or groups
in order to improve communications and to combine their skills. However,
frequently these groups fail to form well-integrated effective units and
act as individuals leading to conflict
and poor decisions.
Productive team
working requires members have an understanding of people, their thinking
styles and how they interact. They can then
draw on the strengths and
talents of others, leading to dynamic and creative team performance
Perception can help your teams to be more
effective
Defining the Problem
The main objective of any Team Building
exercise is to improve the team's performance. We can help your team to
identify areas which require improvement. This is an essential first
step which provides the basis for planning action and gives the team
opportunities to begin corrective action.
Identifying Individual Team Skills
We can help team members explore the
strength of team working and their individual strengths and style and
how this interacts with other team members. Giving each member an
insight into team working and an understanding of other members'
abilities enabling the team to make effective use of all team members.
Team Objectives
We can help the team to identify and
clarify their own and the team's objectives and goals, allowing them to
work effectively. We can help the team to review its objectives and
develop action plans for improving performance.
Dealing with problems within teams
Our psychologists can gently
explore the background group dynamics which result in dysfunctional
teams. We can then help individuals to understand how any team
malfunctioning is due to counterproductive behaviours of people and how
these can be changed to the benefit of all.
Remote Teams
Many organisations now have
team members working from home, or in host organisations. This increases
the need to ensure that team members work together and maintain their
relationship with other team members. We have experience of dealing with
remote teams and how to maintain a team atmosphere within groups that
have little day-to-day contact.
