Effective Team Development

Testimonials

"I learnt how to be myself, maximise my strengths, and how to treat people with respect. The outcome was a highly motivated and interdependent team. This totally changed my outlook on life.' - Hilton Meats

Our Clients

Effective teams need to be sensitive to and flexible within the personal/team/task dynamic. When the needs of individuals are respected and appropriately responded to, trust will start to grow, and the group can move quite rapidly into a highly productive team mode. This transition enables creative focus on the task, generates momentum, releases energy, and realises the axiom that 'the whole exceeds the sums of the parts'. With regular maintenance, a healthy team will mature, stay flexible, and learn how to deal with conflict and resistance (from within and without).

This exciting programme frees up the potential within a working group, generates creativity, energy, and trust, and produces a quantum shift towards greater effectiveness and improved performance. It can be effectively applied to horizontal groups of, for example, senior managers, vertical departmental or service teams, or transient project teams.
