Teams that devote time and resources to communicating and building relationships experience more work satisfaction, higher productivity and better culture. With a team-building process, the "silo effect" of individuals working as if their work doesn't impact others is reduced; work gets done more efficiently and with less frustration and customers are happier.
Perhaps the most important aspect of any engagement is the commitment of a CEO who has a vision for a better quality working environment which is both more satisfying and more productive.
Team building has three aspects:
INITIAL PHASE:
- Working with executive team to determine leadership styles and goals
ACTIVE PHASE:
- One or more offisites of 1 - 3 days
- Coaching for management and/or team members
FOLLOW-UP PHASE
- Quarterly or bi-annual follow up
- Strategic thinking sessions with CEO and top leaders
