TEAM LEADER DEVELOPMENT

The Team Leader development program is designed for individuals who lead teams or are in roles where they need to influence without authority.  In the ever more common world of matrix reporting and cross-functional teams, this program offers tangible best practices and tools for leaders to motivate and inspire productivity from large numbers of staff who don’t officially report to them.

overall goal of program

The overall goal of the program is for team leaders to utilize personal influence (without authority in most cases) to lead assertively and as a coach by building the team’s focus, engaging team members in systematic problem solving and shared decision making, making meetings more productive and facilitating effectively.

practical focus

The material is practical in nature, with only a brief amount of time spent on concepts/theories to launch into the topics.  Practical means that employees are offered tangible “tools” and approaches that they can begin implementing right away.  This is a one-of-a-kind program due to its straightforward and experiential approach.  The return on-investment is significant as it empowers team leaders to maximize the efforts of the team through productive meetings where work actually gets done and through efficient management based on plans. Specific benefits include team leaders’ being able to influence even when they don’t have line authority, facilitate team meetings so work actually gets done, keep the team focused and accountable and achieve results more efficiently.​

learning approach

  • 2 full day interactive sessions (scheduled back-to-back)
  • 1:1 reinforcement coaching where each participant sets a learning plan that they implement over several months
  • Final session where each participant presents about their applied learning experiences and then all participants work together to brainstorm solutions to commonly shared challenges
  • Total classroom time is approximately 24 hours, total coaching time is 2 ½ hours and learning plan implementation is intended to be seamlessly integrated into the employee’s normal work

COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZED

Each program is customized to meet the organization's needs so this is definitely NOT an "off the shelf" approach.
