As a leader it is crucial to activate your team and create motivation towards the task you are facing. You do not often have the possibility to put together the team you could wish for. That is why working with teams including team building is an essential element of the BPL training. Not least in order to be able to understand to where and what to give priority - also for the sake of the rest of your management functions.
The right start!
Whether or not you guide your team successfully towards the goal depends on how you get the team and the process started. The best start is to acknowledge that the team players are individuals with various frames of reference and ways of thinking.
It is very much our frames of reference, together with our “language” (both professional and personal), that form our reality: our approach, perception and experience of things and situations, along with our understanding of, and communication with others.
We are inclined to analyse and evaluate others’ thoughts and ways of doing things according to our own fields of reference. This tendency can easily lead to misunderstandings. If instead you are aware of all the differences from the very start and talk about them with the team, you have enormous potential and fantastic qualities, which you can use to create your success.
Team building
At the BPL courses we use Dexter and Sibbets team model. We work with an understanding of the component parts of the model, and how you can use it in different everday life situations - and also how you use it 'in flow'.
