Workshop Duration

2 days

Overview

In today’s competitive environment, organisational success is increasingly dependent on the people and teams within.  At its best, a team can be far greater than the sum of its parts – at its worst in-fighting and lack of clear leadership can have a detrimental effect on productivity.

Those present will learn from a real-life story about leadership and teams in the most arduous and trying of circumstances – and will be encouraged to make their own connections between this story and the challenges they are facing in their day-to-day working lives.

This two-day interactive and practical workshop will help participants appreciate group dynamics, and how to manage the different personalities involved in order to get the best out of their teams.  They will be encouraged to relate theories and principles to their own working lives, and to prepare an action plan of what they plan to do differently as a result of the programme.

Participants will gain some valuable insights into how to develop and motivate teams, and how to create a culture of success.  They will also learn a great deal about themselves and the people around them
