Brief description:
Leading Teams seminar will be held in Belgrade, Serbia on 6th June 2014. It will be a hands-on, experiential skill-building workshop for project team interaction and team-building processes. The theory base for this workshop will include:
• Bruce Tuckman’s stages of group dynamics
• Patrick Lencioni’s five dysfunctions of a team
• Jon Katzenbach & Douglas Smith’s wisdom of teams.
Participants will be placed into teams of 4-5 members each where they will be involved in a number of highly interactive team activities of forming, storming, norming and performing as teams. Emphasis will be placed on facilitation, decision-making and other communication skills. Specifically, team members will practice the following leadership skills:
• summary and reflective statements
• open and closed-ended questions
• pauses and deflects
• process checks
• neutral statements and brief assertions
• benefit and consequence probes
• handling flat assertions.
Participants will receive coaching and assistance on group dynamics, proper structuring of team meetings and effective ways of facilitating multi-functional work groups. They will practice two techniques for making better team decisions: consensus and nominal group technique. In large group interaction, participants will be challenged as they learn about basic team dynamics, identify major take-aways and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the two decision-making methods.
