TEAM DEVELOPMENT

Working together is a necessity and, at the same time, it is one of the hardest tasks for a team. Because, after all, what is a team really? A couple of people who (initially) are strangers to one another and who all have different backgrounds. They differ in their talents, abilities, and motives for working, their wishes and desires. Each has his blind spots, his frustrations. Sometimes, after having just gotten used to one another, a group can be confronted with a merger or corporate restructure. Time has come to bid farewell to the old balance as the organization, the company expects a new zeal. Where to begin?

Of course I can paint a more positive picture. In essence, people are social creatures who have the desire to form meaningful, well functioning relationships as well as the desire to commit themselves to a goal, a mission.

Teams sign up (or are signed up) for a team training program for various reasons. Here, I also like to (thoroughly) know in advance what the immediate cause, the wish, the desire, is for wanting a training program. Therefore, an intake session with an executive or P&O is definitely necessary. Perhaps, after deliberation, we agree on a different intervention than having to spend one or more days in retreat. Therefore, team training programs are always made-to-measure.

Examples of problems within a team or with a team leader:

Is the team unable to cope with new developments?
Is the teamwork breaking down after the recent corporate restructure?
Is the teamwork breaking down after the recent corporate restructure?
Is there a lot of absenteeism in the department?
Could you cut the group atmosphere with a knife?

There doesn't always have to be a crisis, though. A team development program can also be beneficial for well functioning teams and departments. It could be that the team works well together, but that there is also a need to take things to the next level, or that plans need to be made in order to be better prepared for future developments.

In these programs, I work using theories from group and organizational dynamics and, if the situation in the group permits, with drama techniques.
