3.10 - How to be More Strategic with Team Gatherings

Do you ever think about how to make every team gathering intentional, strategic, and worth the investment? In this episode the hosts look at how meetings, away days, training sessions, and team coaching each require distinct approaches to be truly effective. They reveal why they think team building can be a bit random, and not always address the key needs of a team to be truly effective. They talk about the importance of selecting the right approach for each situation and avoiding the common trap of defaulting to training or team building, when other interventions might be more suitable. They encourage leaders to consider their teams' specific needs and invest in the most effective methods for team effectiveness. Key Discussion Points • • Why leaders must be intentional about different types of team gatherings. • The role of a chair in ensuring team meetings are structured and productive. • The value of an external facilitator for strategy sessions to keep discussions focused. • How training differs from other interventions, focusing on skill-building and knowledge sharing. • The role of team coaching in improving group dynamics, trust, and effectiveness. • Why team building activities alone don’t always improve team performance. • How different approaches can overlap and complement each other for maximum impact.
