My specialist area of knowledge is in wholebrain communication and improving personal and team performance through wholebrain techniques.
This afternoon, whilst scanning through my inbox, I saw the latest newsletter from Fresh Business Thinking. One of the articles caught my eye:
It was from a manager of an organisation employing 25 people, who have not bonded as a team, and he was asking for advice on how he could get everyone to open up, communicate and work together as a team to ultimately be more productive.
I wanted to say to him that he was not on his own, we come across so many organisations where team mebers have not bonded and they are pulling in twenty five different ways and all playing the game of one-upmanship.
One of our most popular development programmes we are asked to deliver is for Team development. Using the Jigsaw profiling tool we work with teams to:
- Agree a common team vision
- Develop an appreciation of the true value of individuality within the workplace through, balancing indivdiual and team objectives, valuing diverse roles, skills and strengths, giving of practical support to their colleagues, recognising synergy in their work to make improvements
- Resolve and avoid workplace irritants and conflicts without management intervention
- Reduction of workplace stress
- Open up of blocked communication channels
- Strengthe team relationships
