Course Overview
During this course you will learn specifically about groups of people that need to work as a real team to produce results that could not be achieved through individuals working alone.
You will also uncover the fundamentals of Teams and the characteristics of High-Performing Teams before forensically examining how we need to see Teams as ‘living systems’ in order to truly understand them.
Following on from this, how we can diagnose a Team’s current system, its norms and behaviours, and how we can build a Team system that can move towards High-Performance and then maintain that system will be uncovered.
At the end of this module you will:
- Understand the nature of real teams.
- Understand the characteristics of High-Performing Teams.
- Understand the nature of Team Systems.
- Establish an understanding of the Leadership style required of Leaders in High-Performing Teams.
- Establish an understanding of how Leaders can cultivate a High-Performing Team System / Culture.
- Apply the theory of High-Performing Teams to a Team within your own organisation.
