Developing a High Performing Team

 

This training was presented on
May 12, 2023

 

An effective team is a great asset to your organization; an ineffective one can damage productivity and morale and can be detrimental to your long-term organizational health. As we all know, teams are made up of individuals with different work experience and backgrounds, each with their own working style and expertise. These dynamics can often lead to conflict when colleagues don’t have the tools they need to work together. This session will show teams how to use an understanding of individuals’ social styles and values to create a more effective working environment, leverage collective assets, and work together more strategically. Participants will discover ways to identify barriers, such as implicit vs. explicit agreements, explore how to use team charters to set yourselves up for success, as well as tips for great team meetings.

 

Learners will:

  • Understand values and different social styles in the workplace and how they affect the way people work together
  • Learn how to create and maintain effective work teams
  • Gain tools for creating an agenda that keeps teams on track toward their goals
  • Learn how to set up teams for success by creating a robust team charter
  • Develop and maintain a positive culture for long term organizational success


Who should attend: Staff in leadership roles in family resource centers, child abuse prevention councils, and other child and family-serving organizations.
