Team Building
Ask any leader to name the biggest challenges and you are likely to
hear "building a team" as one of their primary concerns. No matter what
business you are in or what organization you lead, team building is a
large part of what it takes to achieve your goals and create lasting
success.
Bringing people together to focus on the tools and techniques of
building a better team takes a leadership commitment. That's why at
Doug Smith Training we translate our years of team building and
leadership development experience into a no-frills event that will help
your team focus on its mission and purpose, set about the hard work of
achieving meaningful goals, while also surfacing and resolving the
sticky issues that often stand in the way
No Ropes or Nets
Teams can be built in many ways and we applaud the innovations and
adventure associated with outdoors ropes courses or scavenger
hunts. We just don't do them. Instead, we have used our over 25
years of corporate business experience to create events that focus on
real work, in real time, with the people who are in charge of that
work. While there is certainly fun and the joys of accelerated learning
techniques and guided discovery, this is no-frills development.
Teams that we have worked with have saved time and money while emerging
closer, more open, and more effective. We facilitate the team building
event in just one day, and we do it at the location of your
choice. Why not bring the benefits of team building into your
organization without all of the types of non-business gimics that some
peope simply resent.
A Typical Team Agenda
1. Warm-up: Team members get to know each other by
answering some fun questions.
2. Start-up: Establish Agreements and Guidelines for
the Event.
3. What makes a great team? Small groups brainstorm
the traits of a great team and identify their existing team strengths.
4. Assess your team strengths and challenges:
Individuals complete a team assessment and then compare and discuss
their scores.
5. Team Vision, Purpose, Goals: Team members connect
and align their individual goals to the vision of the organization.
6. Sharing Stories of Success: Team members tell
about a challenging time in their lives and how they achieved success.
7. Creating Team Success – Team members create an
action plan for the continued success of the team.
