This section increases participant
motivation and commitment to high
performance teams by establishing a
solid “organizational rationale” and a
“compelling business reason” for the
use teams. Without this foundation
efforts at establishing high
performance teams are often seen as
“just another management program”
that will soon pass.
Special emphasis is given to the types
of teams the client organization is

MODULE 2: STAGES OF TEAM DEVELOPMENT – HOW TEAMS?
Participants learn the Stages of Team Development model that provides a clear

interpersonal and group dynamics. This
allows participant to learn both the content

Participants examine team development as
an investment process and identify the
investment required at each stage of
development to achieve high performance.

that can be derived from achieving high
performance.

dynamics that predict team performance.

BENCHMARKING
To measure learning and increases in performance we can establish
benchmarks for competency and team performance through 360-degree
survey/feedback.
Individual Learning and Performance
By running the Competency Model assessment prior to this session we can
establish benchmarks for individual and organizational competency and
performance. This survey can be re-run after the training session to measure
learning and increases in performance.
Team Performance
Running the Team Dynamics Survey prior to this session establishes a
benchmark of performance for specific teams and across teams in the
organization. Re-running this survey periodically will measure increased
performance by team and across teams in the organization.
