Facilitating Communication in the Workplace


 

 
Team Development
Strategies for Successful Teams

To be productive, new or evolving teams must determine what it takes to work together effectively. Aligning individual needs and interests with business requirements are fundamental to the team’s success. 

This one-day workshop provides newly established or existing teams with the tools and methods to create or enhance the framework for working together effectively to achieve business results. Team members will participate in discussions comprising a variety of topics, assessment tools, and exercises that include characteristics of effective teams, phases of team development, group dynamics and their impact on team performance, and techniques for effective communication. Depending on a group's objectives, the workshop may culminate with participants developing team norms or creating a team vision, mission, and goals.

 
Team Development with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®)

Innate differences in the way we and others process information, make decisions, handle problems, and deal with the world in general can contribute to or detract from effective team relationships. The MBTI® fosters appreciation of those differences and how they can be leveraged for team success. 

In this workshop, team members explore the MBTI®'s concept of "natural preferences." After receiving their individual MBTI® profile reports, participants will examine the overall team results and how the interaction of preferences inherent in each profile can contribute to the team's effectiveness. A series of activities illustrating the attributes and value of each preference and types within the group will help team members improve the way they communicate, make decisions, and solve problems to achieve common goals. The course length ranges from a half day to a full day, depending on the depth and breadth in which the content is explored.
