Bypass the Crevasse: Developing Your Team for Productivity and Success
Ultimately, every team will reach a point at which the honeymoon of team formation wanes and challenges ensue. More often than not, these challenges have more to do with a team's internal dynamics than external obstacles. However, in the fast-paced realm of innovation and entrepreneurship, we rarely take the time to understand and successfully harness these team dynamics; while we test and iterate the best business model, we do not do the same for our team processes and growth. Productivity is interpersonal and we must design for this opportunity to create the best team possible.
This informative and interactive session will introduce participants to the Teamwork Styles™ model as a vehicle for doing just that. Participants will have a chance to better understand their own dominant teamwork style, and learn valuable tips and techniques for how best to leverage their style on teams, as well as how to work well with people who have different styles than they do.
Participants will be more likely to bypass the crevasse of team development and flourish in their practice of team-based innovation by having a deep understanding of:
Differences that matter on teams (work styles, motivations, etc.)
Why norming and creating a charter can be so valuable
Skills and clues about how best to work with peers
A simple and objective common language to communicate effectively with each other and address conflict head on
