Developing and leading a great team to achieve outstanding results

Successful professional service firms are a myriad of overlapping teams (client teams, practice groups, offices, sectors, projects) meaning that a ‘command and control’ approach does not work. Instead, professional leaders at every level need to be adept at quickly forging teams with a clear focus. This session will show:

• How to engender the essential elements that define great teamwork:
  • A clear sense of common purpose and shared values to which people are committed.
  • Having people play to their complementary strengths.
  • Open and honest communication.

• What great leaders do (and don’t do) to create a high-performance culture.
• The main stages of teamwork and how to quickly progress your team through them.
• Leadership vs management and four leadership styles you may need to master to meet the needs of the team.
• Behaviours you should not tolerate within the team and how to deal with team conflict.
• Formats for effective team meetings and other ways to ensure good communication.

During the programme and beyond you will be given access to tips, templates and other resources as reminders and to help implement points covered in the programme.

At any point, you can optionally request a one-to-one discussion with the trainer Phil Gott.
