Course Overview

A process for high performance team building that managers quietly work around has already failed. People decide what team building really means by watching who gets promoted. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the people management and development discipline are used deliberately. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place high performance team building among the areas with the widest performance spread. The difficulty is not agreeing that this aspect of people management and development matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It treats team building as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what high performance team building has actually achieved. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a people policy for team building as they go. The final module sets out how progress on the people management and development capability will be evidenced six months later.
