Team Development
Teamwork plays an essential role in the success of most organisations.
High performing teams are more than a collection of individuals, they demonstrate a number of common traits:
- Unified sense of purpose
- Commitment to a set of values
- Collective desire
- Accountability and trust
Team building is a process of self discovery, every team member needs the opportunity to identify their personal strengths and their unique place in the team. Workshops are one the most successful ways of accelerating this maturing process.
Team building workshops take many forms from using physical problem solving exercises to expose the natural role each member adopts in a team, to scientific assessment of team members personality traits and subsequent workshops to educate explore how these work together. Challenge focus on the personality end of team building. We have many years experience utilising testing and assessment tools and facilitating subsequent workshops in a wide range of industries.
All our team building sessions are:
- tailored to your team’s specific needs from a range of modules
- commercially focused to impact directly on your team
- guaranteed to engage and energise participants
- practical and highly interactive – “no psycho-babble”
- designed to facilitate self-discovery and promote ownership of outcomes
One of the most popular and enduring tools is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is designed to help individuals become better acquainted with the personality gifts they were born with, and how these make them unique. The MBTI profile also demonstrates the ways in which people differ. This allows us to appreciate how people can work individually or as part of a team to achieve the best outcomes.
