Team Development Training and Workshops

Organisations’ sometimes assume that training is only
needed when things are going wrong or when new people
are recruited. We can in fact learn a lot more from reviewing
when things go right. This does not mean we do not learn
from mistakes but we will make fewer mistakes if we learn
more from the successful things we do.
Many times, we have the right people on our teams; we just
have them assigned in lesser favourable positions or roles.
Each of us has a unique combination of competencies,
enthusiasm and manner which are unlike anyone else.
When we are placed into or allowed to assume duties which
come naturally to us, we perform at our maximum output,
with the least amount of energy spent. When we are asked
to assume responsibilities far outside our comfort levels
(natural behaviours), we find it increasingly difficult to
maintain this performance level. This is called “adaptive”
behavior and takes excessive energy to maintain. Highly
functional teams have discovered that having the right
people, in the right places, at the right time, maximise
natural behavior and minimise adaptive behaviour.
Just imagine what would be like if we could get everyone in
an organisation pulling in the same direction. Unless you
start to address this issue then the organisation will continue
to perform at a level that may not be satisfactory in a
competitive environment.
