About this Course

Why is teamwork important?

How effective are you as a team member? How do others perceive you? Do you accomplish most of the tasks at work alone or as a team? Do you foresee that in the near future, you will be in a situation where you need to leverage team intelligence even more?

Challenges and opportunities at work need us to interact with others. Workplaces have evolved into playgrounds where expertise alone is not enough to win, and teamwork is equally important.

For you to grow in your career, it is critical that decision-makers see you as a team player. As you move into senior positions in the organisation, this will be more evident.

To work as part of a team, you need to develop a basic understanding of the principles of team success, and the skills required to implement these principles.

Essential aspects of interpersonal effectiveness include self-awareness, willingness to spend time to understand others, and openness to adapt. These attributes contribute to a great team.

As a team member, self management is critical to manage relationships and create results. You need to learn skills in teams, and adapt to people based on situations. A team member demonstrates courage to take a stand, communicate what is right, and show empathy to others.

When members operate with a clear purpose and intention, leveraging the power of individual choice, teamwork becomes enjoyable and developmental in nature.

What do you gain from this one-day workshop?

This interactive one-day workshop provides you a platform to assess your skills and attitudes to operate as part of a team. It builds the foundation and gives you opportunities to practice team skills through role-plays and group work.
