Teambuilding
Teambuilding with Personality
We naively assume any group can automatically be a team. However, one of the biggest reasons teams misfire is that personality differences are ignored. By understanding your team’s personality types, you greatly improve its chances for success. By using a personality assessment such as Personality Dimensions, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator or DISC, team members gain a better understanding of their strengths, values and characteristics and those of their team mates. This fun, highly interactive workshop will assist teams to reduce conflict, increase collaboration and increase productivity.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
In his groundbreaking book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni identifies five dysfunctions of teams that consistently hold organizations back from reaching their full potential. Lencioni shares a powerful team building model to overcome the Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this model has become the standard for eliminating the natural human tendencies which derail teamwork and create costly, organizational politics.
Using the Five Dysfunctions of a Team model this interactive team building workshop will be customized to fit your organizational and team needs. We will start by using a team assessment to identify which of the Five Dysfunctions your team needs to focus on.
Then we will work with your team to overcome these dysfunctions using tools, exercises, and real-world examples. Your team will develop a team building road map and timeline to reach your organizational goals and objectives.
“Striving to create a functional, cohesive team is one of the few remaining competitive advantages available to any organization looking for a powerful point of differentiation. — Patrick Lencioni
