understand how they individually add value to the team and

who can work together to achieve excellence are generally

happier and more productive than teams that require more

active leadership.

Designed both for managers of teams, and for team members, this

program outlines the key stages of development and how to move the

team from early relationship development through to aligned focus on

goals and collaborative work flow.

Designed with a range of activities, this highly interactive program also

investigates group dynamics and workplace relationships in order to

facilitate the development of groups who can more effectively self manage, therefore reducing the amount of senior level intervention

required to solve problems. This in turn frees up leaders to focus on strategy

and drive out organisational excellence.

At the end of this course participants will be able to:

• Recognise behaviours that occur at each stage of team development
• Intervene appropriately to lead individuals through the stages of team development (either as a manager or team member)
• Review their current team against the characteristics of a high performing team and develop strategies to progress toward this
• Build a vision and compelling reason to motivate team members to work together toward optimal performance
• Encourage self-management by role modelling and equipping team members with skills for managing conflict and holding each other accountable
• Create action plans that can be implemented with current teams

In successful teams, individuals need to move beyond the view that the success of “me” is the most important factor. Instead, they need to focus on the need of the business and how to achieve success collectively. Through working with teams across a wide range of sectors and geographies we have found there are a number of characteristics that high performing teams have in common. These teams typically:

• Enjoy a clearly defined common purpose and goal.
• Share leadership beyond position and hierarchy and work collaboratively.
• Are goal-focused, but also prioritise team relationships and camaraderie.
• Engage in real conversations, are active listeners and encourage robust and open discussion.
• Share responsibility for process, relationships and group dynamics and follow through on actions.
• Take collective responsibility for mistakes and difficulties.
• Achieve targets and recognise collective, as well as individual contributions to achievements.
• Review projects critically, learn from mistakes and celebrate successes.

Drawing on the Integral model developed by Ken Wilber (A Brief History of Everything, 1996) we ensure that the team finds a new level of internal stability and external equilibrium at a higher level of consciousness. This Whole Systems approach to change in an organisation is achieved through a combination of elements including diagnostics, tailored development workshops, programs that focus on self-awareness, behavioural authenticity and group cohesion. It is also achieved by making changes to the organisation’s policies, systems, procedures and structures of governance so they reflect the values and behaviours of the desired new level of consciousness.
