Personalities and teams
"Is your team forming, storming, norming or performing yet?"
Synopsis
Whether you are in a project team, a team of senior managers or an office based team and would like to work better together, have more fun and be more effective in what you do, then this programme is for you.
We will not be asking you to hang from the edge of a cliff or go pot holing to build team spirit, and no hugging. Understanding who we are, and why we are like we are, is what this programme is all about. First we get you to understand your own personality, then how that affects others you live and work with.
When there are six different personalities and abilities in a team how do you get the best out of each other? We will give you hints and tips on how to make this work, develop synergy, communicate in a fun, effective way and get you through forming, storming, norming and into a performing way of working.
We will have a look at how your personality can change when you are under pressure and things become stressful.
You are who you are and we are not out to change that, but we can help you learn to adapt when you need to if things are not going your way.
I am not crazy, I am just not you!
