Effective team management

Professionals mostly get appointed to be a leader of a team because of their outstanding performance. In this new role they can prove their talent and high standards in even more challenging situations without any problem. At the same time, the expectations of their superior for them to be a role model, manage people-related issues effectively, solve problems of the group, create a pleasant atmosphere, and yet still ensure high team performance could be quite demanding.

The programme provides the skills necessary to develop an efficiently functioning team by building trust and strong team cohesion, taking into consideration the individual strengths of company’s team members. By positively managing these interpersonal relations, team members will be able to focus more on the tasks ahead of them and collaborate with each other better.

The programme follows through the difficulties, managerial roles and tools in the four stages of team formation using the Bruce Tuckman model. Participants explore approaches for achieving team bonding and effective cooperation. We will also touch on the most effective ways of distributing tasks and motivating team members so that they are satisfied with their role within the team.
