Your executive team is a "team" in name only. Individuals seem to be worried
only about their own areas and numbers, creating a "silo" mentality. Limited
resources and politics have spawned infighting. There is little, if any,
collaboration. Team meetings are nothing more than an opportunity for each
individual to report on his/her area (with others just waiting their turn). Any
team meeting is generally viewed as a waste of precious time. What can be done
to bring your team together? Can your team get a sense of fulfillment from
collaborating as a cohesive unit to achieve results?
Solution:
The purpose of our Teambuilding/Team Coaching solution
is to foster a sense of team identity through understanding and respecting
individual differences and collaborating to achieve business results. A Teambuilding/Team
Coaching Meeting typically is held off site and lasts one to
three days. Depending on the team's needs, the content of the meeting may
include team skills training (e.g., team problem solving, team decision making,
conflict management, meeting management, reading and adjusting to others'
styles, etc.), team "typing" based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator,
role playing, interactive discussion and feedback, and team problem solving
with real-time business problems. Throughout the meeting, an EDI facilitator
provides real-time coaching on the team's performance and group interaction.
Individual team members also receive real-time coaching when necessary and
value added.
