THIS PROGRAMME IS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP TEAM CULTURE

BENEFIT
This team development programme will contribute to identifying and unfolding resources and potential in the individual. It will also increase robustness, creativity and performance of the team. In addition, it will develop the ability of the team to handle pressure and to reach goals together.

THE SELF DIRECTED TEAM
The value of a well functioning team is larger than the sum of the individual team members. Individual team members must feel comfortable operating in a secure and trustful atmosphere. It is equally important that each team member’s individual contribution is valuable and needed to complete joint tasks. The team becomes self directed when these conditions are present. The result is a team with increased capability to execute, meet deadlines and ensure quality. A self directed team is also characterised by higher engagement, creativity and innovation.

A SELF DIRECTED TEAM IS CHARACTERISED BY

• Relationships that are challenging, appreciative and supportive
• The team appreciates diversity
• Everyone feels that they contribute to the team
• The working atmosphere inspires authenticity and respectfulness
• The team energy is focussed on tasks and goals
• The team establishes a dynamic and inclusive culture

METHOD It is important to acknowledge that the well developed habits and behavioural patterns in a team also have consequences, and that this can obstruct the teams well being and development. The starting point is to identify and understand the potential that is locked in habits and behavioural patterns. Creating trust in the team increases curiosity to examine new ways of interacting.
