Question:- "When is a team not a team?" Answer:- "When its a group of individuals."
The following workshop has been designed to help a group of individuals become a team.
During the workshop delegates will have the opportunity to consider the attributes of
an effective team and compare their own team to the "model". The use of a team role
inventory will help delegates understand their own team role and that of others and how
the roles interact. Using experiential exercises, the delegates will have the
opportunity to work on a number of group tasks, enabling them to review the
effectiveness of their team and develop and agree on good working practices to adopt
on their return to the workplace.
