      Overview: Effective teamwork is fundamental to the success of any organisation. Whether the focus is on service, quality, cost, value, speed, efficiency, performance, or other similar goals, teams are the central methodology of most organisations in the private, non-profit, and government sectors.

      With teams at the core of corporate strategy, your success as an organisation can often depend on how well you and other team members operate together.

      In most teams, the energies of individual members work at cross-purposes. Individuals may work extraordinarily hard, but their efforts do not translate into team effort, and this results in wasted energy. By contrast, when a team becomes more aligned, a commonality of direction emerges, and individual energies harmonise. You have a shared vision and an understanding of how to complement each others’ efforts.

      This one-day workshop is a basic course for team leaders and team members, designed to focus on the characteristics of an effective team player and the elements of an effective team. You will leave the workshop with plans for your personal development as a team player and ideas for developing your team.

      Overview: Meetings are important for management and communication. When it comes to the serious stuff, face-to-face meetings are effective because they outdo the written words of emails and memos, and out-perform the effectiveness of telephone conferencing.

      Meetings are costly of both time and money. A poorly structured and managed meeting will waste the time of everyone, will cost the time of everyone, and make people dread attending in the future.

      This course aims to showcase the skills and knowledge needed to chair a meeting successfully

      Overview: Being able to let go and delegate tasks to others can be one of the hardest managerial responsibilities. The temptation is just to do it yourself – right? You think it will be quicker after all you're likely to do a much better and quicker job and you simply haven’t got the time to show someone else.

      Wrong - lack of delegation will lead to you slowly drowning in work. Tasks will become half-finished or poorly executed and you will end up with a disgruntled and demotivated team who are crying out to take on more responsibility.

      This one-day course will give you the confidence to let go of tasks without losing control and give you the skills to use delegation as a motivational tool to increase performance. Understand your own management styles to develop the potential of your staff, yourself and ultimately your organisation.

      The course will be participatory and will include self-analysis tools, case studies and group work.

      Overview: This modular programme is designed to further develop the skills of managers and potential managers. Building leadership capabilities across this level should not only strengthen individual skills but also facilitate the transfer of best practice across the organisation.

      Between each workshop delegates will be given work assignments to reinforce and embed the skills learned at each workshop. Recognising the busy nature of the delegates role, the design of these assignments will be thought provoking and practical rather than time consuming.

      Each module comes with its own set of support notes for delegates to put into a ring-binder, which then builds up into a comprehensive management reference book.

      This highly interactive and practical programme will give delegates an opportunity to learn more about themselves and the different working styles of others to increase individual and team effectiveness. They will be working as individuals, in pairs or small groups, engaging with each other to explore the different approaches. Building a team successfully requires awareness and understanding of the needs for a balanced team. This programme has been designed to give delegates both insight and time to explore their personal preferences, highlighting the benefits of getting the correct balance between both managing the task and leading the team.

      CLARITY 4D PROFILES

      As an optional extra, each delegate will receive either an 11 page Clarity4D Personal Profile or a 20 page Team Profile (recommended). The Profile provides delegates with information on their personality type as an aid to understand more about self and others, which can then be used to identify strategies for enhancing interpersonal relationships and improving communications within the team.

      The Profile includes sections on:
      Personal style and interacting with others
      Personal strengths and areas of hidden potential
      Value to the Team
      Effective Communication

      The Profile will be used as a working document throughout the programme as a basis for self-analysis and group discussions. Delegates may then go on to use it as a personal development coaching tool.
