Building A Culture of Trust (1 day)

Improving Interpersonal Productivity - Team Building

An organization's effectiveness has many factors, but central to each is the human components needed to create, organize, implement and monitor company strategies.  Every company has the unique capability to bring the knowledge, skills, attitude, and personality strengths of each individual into a team focus to accomplish the company's overall goals.

Purpose:  To build productive and trusting working relationships between team members.

Goals:  Group effectiveness cannot be fully addressed until some degree of personal and interpersonal effectiveness has been achieved.   These two elements represent the foundation for the effective operation of the work group as a whole.  The goals of the Building a Culture of Trust Workshop are to:

• Create awareness of the impact we have on other team members performance
• Develop supportive interaction between various functional groups
• Identify and meet the team members’ unspoken needs and concerns
• Increase awareness of what people listen for

Gathering individuals with expertise in various disciplines does not mean the company's expectations are going to be fulfilled.  This workshop examines the norms of group behavior, profiles strengths and weaknesses, and suggest ways to make group interaction effective.  It is useful for division or departmental participants, project teams, task forces, committees or problem solving discussions.

After attending this workshop, a participant will be able to:

• Describe group behavior and it's impact on the organization's effectiveness
• Evaluate the team's dynamics and relate this to what is required in coping with other internal team members
• Identify individual group's strengths and weaknesses
• Describe a plan of action to build an effective team

Each participant must have attended either the Introductory Workshop or the Executive Training session prior to attending the Building A Culture Of Trust Workshop.
Due to the one-on-one interaction needed in this workshop, a maximum of 12 participants is recommended.
