TEAMS (ALMOST) NEVER WORK

That is not what we claim: it is a finding of Patrick Lencioni, one of the world’s best-known authors and consultants on team performance. It really can be different! BTC helps take your team to the next level.

TEAMS OFTEN ARE NO TEAMS

Everyone in a team has their specific skillset and their own strengths and weaknesses in behaviour and communication, which they use to make a difference to the team. But it is precisely these individual expertises and behaviours that often create islands within the team. In many sub-optimal teams, team members focus on themselves and there is little mutual cooperation. This creates a culture of blame-shifting. There is a lack of mutual trust. Ad hoc crisis management and personal interest prevail. Everyone then fights mainly for his or her own interests, but loses sight of ‘the big picture’: working together strategically on long-term goals with vision.

In short: many teams are not actually teams, and certainly not high-performing teams.

How is this manifested in organisations in one-to-one conversations and team meetings?

For example, there is a lack of clear goals and structure. Mutual irritations are glossed over and there are many unspoken feelings. Good ideas are nipped in the bud. Many team members are not speaking out. There are many long discussions without decision-making. Leadership is in question. In the end, much time and effort is spent in meetings that are inefficient and ineffective.

THINGS REALLY CAN BE DIFFERENT

‘TEAMWORK’ TEAMBUILDING

With ‘TeamWork’ a unique approach to team building, we extract the hidden potential from a team and contribute to exceeding intended goals.

Team members grow into a strong team, through increased mutual trust, courage to hold each other accountable for performance, no more conflict avoidance, complete dedication to the team and a focus on shared results.

We do this through tailor-made programmes of one to several days, in which we act as external trainers and facilitators who make patterns visible and discussable and strengthen mutual qualities.

At the start, we look from a helicopter perspective at both the strengths and challenges of the team and the market in which the organisation operates. Each team member works in advance on his or her own analysis (Lencioni team-assessment and on request also individual intake) with which we guarantee good preparation.

Depending on the goals, we then go into a customised training programme and work with:

In-depth group discussions that reveal the core;
Lasting connection within the team;
Effective communication and collaboration
(In)visible patterns within the team;
The five foundations of teams according to Lencioni.

We work on both the hard and soft side of team performance. For instance, we often contribute to clarity of mission, team identity (what is the real task of the team) and commitment to goals and action planning. In addition, we work on deepening the informal bond between team members. When necessary, we also use active and unconventional methods, such as outdoor activities in nature.

Our highly experienced trainers take a sharp look at habits that consciously or unconsciously hold the team back. With sharp interventions and a deep understanding of human behaviour, they know how to create lasting results.

FOR WHOM IS TEAMWORK TRAINING?

This training is suitable for teams that:

(re)recognise that they are not working together optimally
need a joint exchange about strategy and goals
have meetings that are inefficient and ineffective
where there is ‘fuss’, mutual tension and irritations
where the same people always work very hard, and others seem to take it (too) easily
High-performing teams, ready for further growth

‘TEAMWERK’ PROGRAMME

Depending on the goals, the programme will be designed together with key players from your team, with theory, practice and discussions.

The programme may look like the following:

Kick-off marking the start of the process and gaining support.
0.5 – 3-day team training with possible follow-up meetings:
Feedback on the Team Test with the five foundations of teams according to Lencioni;
Sustainable connection within the team by sharing authentic experiences;
Guided group discussions or meetings that reveal the core;
Effective communication and cooperation in various exercises;
Feedback on (in)visible patterns within the team;
Very concrete action planning.
Buddy meetings or intervision sessions as part of the follow-up.
(Interim) evaluation with team leader and trainer

THE 5 FUNDAMENTS OF HIGH PERFORMING TEAMS

In our work for teams, we like to use Lencioni’s thinking.

TEAMMOMENTUM

Get the most out of your team

Do you really want to unlock the maximum potential in your team? Do you need more than just a short impulse, and are you looking for sustainable change and growth in the mindset and results of your team members?

We believe that teams need more than just an awayday to get everyone facing the same direction. Such sessions only create temporary boosts, after which the team falls back into old habits. To let your team structurally connect and cooperate on a deep level we choose for a unique approach: Team Momentum. An approach with which sustainable change and growth is guaranteed.

We build a custom–made program for your team. In Team Momentum we combine team interventions and individual guidance. Each team member – as part of the total program – individually participates in the 4-day ‘Momentum’ training for personal leadership. This avoids the common pitfalls of team trainings, whereby people fall into their socially desirable patterns. In a private environment, nothing will hold them back to truly grow and deal with personal challenges. Each time an individual team member has partaken in the training, the whole team gets a powerful impulse. Doing this, we establish a high performance team culture.

The result? Guaranteed structural growth in your team.
