Teamwork

If you’ve ever thought it would be easier to go it alone, now’s the time to make your team work.

What is it about working in a team that’s so difficult? Is it the lack of communication or the fact that no-one is sure what their role is? What about cross-functional teams, where the ‘us vs. them’ attitude makes it difficult to remember we work for the same company?

Whatever the issue, working in a team is rarely stress-free. What’s more, everyone thinks it’s someone else’s problem to fix. Luckily a shift in attitude and small changes to the way your team works can have a big impact.

In this Time out you’ll examine what makes a top team and explore how you can become one.

At the end of the Time out, you will have:

  • Considered what makes a high performing team.
  • Delved into the science behind effective teamwork.
  • Explored a model to explain the stages we go through as we form a team.
  • Discovered how to overcome the blocks to cross-functional working.
  • Made a plan to turn your department and cross-functional teams into fantasy teams.
