Team Development Training - Melbourne

Team Development Training Melbourne

Course Outline

Opening Question

What if the gap between some teams that are struggling and others that are high performing isn't about talent, resources or even leadership, but about knowing how to work together effectively?

Course Overview

"Millions of dollars are spent in Australian businesses each year to address team dysfunction, but most organisations put people in a room and expect sparks to fly; instead personalities often clash and it's a disaster. Joshua Sheppard, managing director of soft skills training and team building Company, Interaction Partners, said complacency, poor communication, lack of trust and respect, and weak leadership were all to blame. This hands on course provides solutions to real workplace team tension problems in Melbourne, from communication silos to personality clashes which impact performance.

This is not some theoretical nonsense, group hug/team building mumbo jumbo course, but instead gives clear and doable strategies for any work place that has found a mixture of problems and stinky situations. Participants are taught how to change their team dynamics through demonstrated techniques focused on causes, not just symptoms.

The course is for intact teams, project groups or individuals wishing to enhance their effectiveness as a team member. Whether it is remote work struggles, issues with generational gaps or you just want to up your team game, this training will give you actionable tools you can start applying right now.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:

Filter out the team dynamics reality to pinpoint improvement areas before things get out of hand

Work well with different types of personalities and working styles on their team

Enable meaningful dialogue to work through conflict resolution and build better working relationships

Foster teamwork decision making in which all team members participate effectively

Develop feedback loops that inspire continuous betterment without creating defensiveness

This is at odds with the ability to facilitate a team creating psychological safety where team members can contribute their best thinking.
