Training materials for Teamwork: Building Better Teams
Teams have become a principle building block of successful organizations. This one-day workshop is a basic course for team leaders and team members, designed to focus on the characteristics of an effective team player and the elements of an effective team. Participants will leave the workshop with plans for their personal development as a team player and ideas for developing their back-home team.
A critical element of this workshop is the Glen Parker Team Player Survey (PTPS), an 18 item self-assessment instrument that will help them identify their primary team player style, help them increase their personal effectiveness in team situations, and help them effectively develop their group into a high performing team.
Highlights of what participants will learn:
- The PTPS will give them useful feedback about their team player style;
- Identify ways they will want to change to improve their team player style;
- Better understand and appreciate differences among team members;
- Identify those ways their team must improve to be more effective;
- Develop an action plan for those improvements.
