Overview

Every mighty oak is a tree, however not every tree is a mighty oak.

Not every team is a winning team.

High performing teams is a timeless leadership topic and success is priceless. Team diversity, team dynamics, alignment on goals and disciplined implementation are critical but in our increasingly hectic world, how do you make this work in practice?

In this workshop, we focus on your team goals and priorities and take you on a practical exploration of building team accountability to identify key actions and steps where every team member owns the goals, expected outcomes and the plan for success.

Workshop objectives

This programme will help participants to:

• Recognise the key attributes and mindset of a high performing team.
• Align on team priorities and goals.
• Come together to identify the gaps to achieving their team goals and actions forward.
• Develop a team accountability plan for immediate implementation.

Who should attend?

This practical course is suitable for new and existing teams at all levels of the organisation who are looking to align and take their team performance to the next level.

Format

A practical, interactive, one-day session - delivered virtually or in-person, ideally for a maximum group size of 12. There are lots of different activities throughout the session where participants will work with their own team examples to build a high performing team accountability plan for immediate implementation to successfully achieve your goals. Pre-work is required to align the team ahead of the workshop.
