Workshop Description:

We all want to be part of an effective team. But how do we build a high performing team? Whether you are part of a sports team, a social team or a work team, the members of your teams will go through a series of psychological stages. These are natural stages of team development, but the amount of time a team spends in each of these stages will vary depending on a variety of factors. A good team leader is aware of the current stage of their team’s development, pays attention to shifting dynamics which can affect their team, and encourages and supports their team members so they can successfully accomplish their assigned tasks.
