Overview

This 4-part webinar series explores the activities required to develop a high-performance work team, the common stages of team development, the impact of your management style on the team and finally the causes of team dysfunction and how to deal with conflict within your team. Organisations which have put the concept of ‘high performing teams’ into practice have all succeeded through creating dynamic, autonomous and highly focused teams which pass the test of time. High performing teams do not happen by chance but are the result of good management, planned development and open communication. To manage and maximise the talent within a team requires more than technical expertise. To achieve your business goals as a manager you must be able to inspire and lead your team by driving performance, engagement and flexibility. Building and maintaining a high-performance team is not an event it is an ongoing business process.

During this series Sean will explain what team dynamic is and how it impacts the performance of the team. Outline the 5 activities to consider when building and maintaining a winning team. Review Tuckman stages of team development and how to move your team through each stage. Discuss what causes problems within a team and how to overcome them.
