Description:

All team building begins with trust. In this class, we will identify key elements of trust and pose some questions: If your team were to rate you, which elements would they say you exhibit? Where do you need work? Discussion will center around how to grow trust. Next, we will look at the four stages of team development and identify your team’s development level, sharing strategies you can employ to guide your team to the next level.

Since your team members often have a wide range of skills, knowledge and ability, leading each of them can be challenging. In the second half of the class, you will assess each team member’s developmental level using the situational leadership model and learn strategies to help them improve. You will recognize your go-to leadership style, come to see the value of other styles, and be able to flex and use other styles when needed. You will gain the vocabulary to have productive development discussions with your staff, helping them improve their competence and get better overall results.
