Leading High Performance Teams is a practical, two-day course that develops the skills required to drive team performance. The subject has an intervention design with a full-day facilitated workshop, a four-week intervention period and a second full-day workshop. This spacing allows participants to reflect on what they have learned and put the learning into practice. There are also pre-course readings and leadership assessments to prepare participants, provide meaningful insights and build a base of relevant knowledge. Although the course involves only two days face-to-face, the individual experience is a genuine leadership journey.
The subject covers the skills and tools that facilitate team performance. What is your interpersonal style? What issues could this cause? How do you manage teams as they progress through the stages of team life? How do you have conversations with team members, actively listen, provide support and coach them? How can you better understand your team members so you can motivate them to work with you? The course focuses on learning through doing and following activities with reflection. Every lesson leads to an actionable learning that makes a difference.
The subject is structured as follows:
a) Preparation: pre-readings, interview with supervisor, online diagnostic
b) All-day facilitated workshop covering:
- Team processes and team performance
- Team composition
- Team conflict and procedural justice
c) Four-week intervention period: additional readings, application of new knowledge / skills approaches to personal case study, reflective journal, connect with ‘accountability partner’
d) All-day facilitated workshop covering:
