Team Effectiveness

The Training Guru works with organisations to strengthen and build teams at all levels

“Building Teams is my passion… it is central to who I am and my past is filled with examples of bringing teams together where success is inevitable. Clear, strategic thinking allows everyone to work on what truly is important and stand up for what is right. Without knowing what is important, teams and their leaders get distracted and lost as they feel the pressure building.”

Peter Arbery, The Training Guru

Why develop teams

We all understand that a team is needed at times when a goal relies on a group of people depending on each other to pull together and achieve. Sometimes they fly. Other times it can seem impossible. Most of the time it is somewhere in between these two extremes. This uncapped potential is costing organisations every day. We know leaders and sporting coaches who use this potential… their teams flourish when other teams are struggling. These are not rocket scientists… they simply know what to focus on, what to value and how to get a group of people leaning into the outcomes of everyone involved.

What strategies do we provide?

The Training Guru has a wide range of team building programs which can be delivered as stand-alone sessions or a complete team effectiveness course. All programs are tailored and designed to meet your specific organisational needs.

Examples of our team effectiveness modules include:

Emotional Intelligence

Assertiveness

Persolog® Behavioural Styles

Giving and Receiving Feedback

Patrick Lencioni’s “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team”

How do we develop high performing teams?

There are foundations which must be built and maintained for a High Performing Team (HPT) to exist. Using proven strategies, we lead the team on the path to making this base solid. This in turn allows the next stages of development to be built. When finally, the building is complete, there is a strong team which is able to find competitive advantages which were not possible before.

We will support all of your people through this process. Unfortunately, not all of your team will want this environment, instead choosing an easier, less challenging journey. That really is OK as a team will evolve and some people will amaze you with their previously hidden abilities.

Our team effectiveness training allows your people to:

Develop leadership and teambuilding tools, techniques, and strategies

Improve problem-solving, communication and creativity skills

Address weaknesses and increase motivation

Identify different team dynamics, and understand theirs and other styles

Achieve challenging goals
