Course outline

What is a team – This section will clarify your audience’s understanding of teamwork and help them to think differently about team-building skills.

First, use the content to walk through this critical distinction between working within a group and teamwork. Next, examine several types of team structures and teamwork. Understanding the differences within these structures will better equip your audience to build more effective team-building skills.

As some companies can struggle with understanding group dynamics, you must focus on the stages of team formation. The best way to achieve this is to outline the roles and responsibilities that can exist. Set aside some time to get feedback from your audience on team-building skills within their work structures. Conclude this section with a discussion on the impact of ambiguity and interdependence.

Models of team working – Have you ever spent time with a team that just doesn’t gel together? Of course, you have.

Is there something that’s prohibiting that team working effectively together? Well, there’s an excellent chance to improve this via a better understanding of models of team-working.

If you’re reading this thinking, “how do I deliver this content in this section,” then rest easy, you just need to follow the material provided. Encourage your audience to share experiences and challenges.

Next, explore team balance and autonomy, levels of communication, and media available. It’s helpful then for your audience to step back and take stock of the teams within their work environment. The content provided and course discussions will help to remove roadblocks and will lead nicely to content on communication barriers and emotional intelligence.

High-performance teams – This section cuts straight to the heart of the high-performance teams. We’re all leading busy lives, with more demands on our time. In the world of a high-performance team, time is pivotal. Use the content first to discuss how to maintain a high-performance team. Then, explore how to overcome low performance. And examine factors like motivation, diversity, and leadership.

One of the most powerful ways to explore this part of the course is to share your reflections on high performing teams. Don’t be afraid to explore how team-building skills shape your thoughts on how to develop teams. But here’s the best part, experiences define who we are, and when shared with training sessions, they contribute to higher engagement rates and will positively embed learning. It will further embed learning when you take the time to step out of the course delivery role and meet your audience at a new level. It will also mean that you will get to hear their experiences and stories that will encourage more engagement.

Managing expectations – Strengthen your audience’s understanding of teamwork and team-building skills in companies. Use the content to walk through conflict management skills and how to lead a high-performance team. Again, we encourage you to foster an environment where your audience can safely share experiences. It will considerably benefit the learning achieved when you open an avenue for participation and more significant discussion.
