Understanding Group Dynamics - As soon as individuals begin working together, the group takes on a unique dynamic unlike any of its individuals. Participants learn a group development model by observing key behaviors and implementing action which advances the team to a higher stage of development. Group Process Facilitation - Facilitators frequently take too much upon their own shoulders when facilitating. This advanced form of facilitation will bring more empowerment to the team while decreasing the facilitator s perception of owning the success or failure of the team. A technique for establishing this important contract is practiced.
Participants learn how to use style as an asset, as opposed to a barrier to high performance teams.
Encouraging Creative Thinking - Creativity is the true power of teams. Tools are practiced which harness this power. Assimilating Diverse Ideas - Many teams create lists of potential ideas without bringing them into a usable actionable format. The workshop offers convergent process tools to bring disparate points of view into a common focus. Building Consensus - Consensus building requires discipline.
