Building High Performance Teams: Harnessing Team Dynamics

Do you have that one colleague you find challenging to communicate with, and another “work friend” whose company you genuinely enjoy, both during formal meetings and informal chats? Why is it that we naturally connect with some people while finding others more difficult to engage with? This workshop is designed to help you uncover your unique strengths and contributions to your team while gaining a deeper understanding of the roles, personalities, and dynamics others bring to the workplace.

This course explores the critical role of building and empowering teams to drive organizational success. Key topics include team dynamics, effective role assignments, and leadership strategies that foster positive team outcomes. Participants will learn how to harness their behavioral style as team leaders and effectively manage diverse, cross-functional teams to achieve shared goals.

During the module, with the use of gamified assessment, participants will understand their individual contributions and strengths, and roles they play in the team, and what they bring as an advantage. During the discussions, a special focus will be placed on complementary, competing, and conflicting roles so that the group dynamic is better understood in the future with the goal of better team engagement and productivity.

• Understand individual strengths to use them in leading others.
• Understand team roles and personal roles played to better complement teammates.
• Understand conflicting roles to better navigate conflicts in teams

• Practical exercises
• Study of real business situations
• Use of strategic instruments and methodologies

The participants will obtain a certificate from the Luxembourg School of Business. Our school is certified by the Ministry of Education as a lifelong learning organization and member of AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business).
