Leadership & Teambuilding

Introduction

Managers and Executives consider the functional roles of members of their team when putting it together. An accountant, a salesperson, a receptionist and a stock controller might make up a small team. But are we aware of the team role that each person plays? How can we ensure that we have a balanced team with people, task and thinking skills in equal proportions?

Do we understand our own personal leadership style? What is the best approach? When the situation demands a change in our preferred style.....are we able to respond?

Dr Meredith Belbin is the recognised expert in the field of team performance. By introducing delegates to his team role concept, we improve their skill in understanding, managing, motivating and getting the best out of their teams.

Who should attend

Middle and senior managers who wish to obtain the best possible performance from their existing team or who wish to understand the tools available for selecting teams in the future.

Course outcomes

Each delegate will understand the theory of team roles and complete a leadership survey to identify their own preferred style of leadership. Practical advice and guidance will be given on transferring the theory and the models discussed back to the workplace. You will return to your organisation with a different view of your colleagues!

Teaching methods:

There will be a mixture of theoretical input from the tutor along with opportunities for experiential learning, and practice and discussion in small and large groups
