Practical Team Building

Editable training materials for a bite-size session on team building.

Almost everyone works as part of a team. However, working together effectively in a team doesn’t always come naturally. When people do truly work together as one team rather than as a group of individuals, the results are so much better. Using Tuckman's Team Development Theory as a basis, this Power Hour training session focuses on action to help leaders and managers take simple practical steps to build their team so that it works more effectively and efficiently more of the time.

In particular, by the end of the Power Hour they will be able to 

  • Recognise effective and ineffective team work. 
  • Describe the stages of Team Development. 
  • Identify practical, specific ways to accelerate team development and improve performance 

To get a flavour of the core session, you can download our free Key Points Sheet and view the optional Power Point Slides in PDF format on the next page.

Much more detail is included in the training session plan and detailed delegate workbook which you get when you purchase.
