The performance of a company depends widely upon how good the cooperation works between the individual departments and between the individual employees.

Regardless of how expensive the machinery may be, it is always the people who bring results. This happens best hand-in-hand – through successful and dedicated team work.

Team work doesn’t let itself be ruled, it has to be lived.

When people newly come together or the team changes, it needs to come closer together to become jointly successful.

Team work doesn’t grow overnight. A mature, performance-oriented team develops gradually – after problems have been solved, relationships have been deepened and roles have been cleared.

The support and acceleration of the maturing process – so that the team can work quickly and good together to be jointly successful – serves Workshops/Trainings for Team Building and Development. What happens in Workshops/Training for Team Building and Development?

Classically, preliminary talks take place at least with the manager, ideally with all team members, in advance, to clarify:

• What is good within the team and should stay as is?
• What should change/where is there a jam?

The topics that are worked out are then the focus of the workshops/trainings.

The work with these topics are supplemented by confidence-building measures – then also confidence doesn’t allow itself to be ruled. It must grow and it needs to be cultivated. The Workshop/training promotes these possibilities.

That depends on the size of the team but most of all it depends on the topics that need to be addressed. In few cases, it takes half a day to come up with a joint standpoint, a look back and a look forward to the prospects for developing a strategy, but sometimes it needs more time.

More as one or two days are seldom necessary to put a team process into place and to get the team running – certainly not enough, when one can presume that the team work will run smoothly and that problems can be solved in a collegial manner and not made worse, and that in critical moments, we speak with one another and not about one another.

An essential element is to establish a helpful, and for the respective team, suitable feedback culture. The point here is not for you to expose yourself or give away secrets but to find out how you come across to others, and at the same time, find out if these impressions are indeed the ones that you want to achieve .. and to find out what others appreciate about yourself and which suggestions they have for you and vice a versa.
