Team Leaders 

The course is designed for those who want to develop their team building and leadership skills, and gain a fuller understanding of their influence on others as a leader and communicator. The course will equip them with the essential background knowledge to support their development in these areas. Whilst the details below describe the course in broad terms, the focus of each individual will be on those aspects which are most pertinent to his or her personal learning objectives.

The objectives of the course are:-

• To enjoy a shared adventurous event in which team members get to know each other outside the constraints of a workplace.
• To build levels of trust and support to make this learning event as effective as possible.
• To develop leadership skills at an appropriate level for each individual and so establish strong links to work situations.
• To increase team members awareness of their own and others strengths and weaknesses and to develop a personal plan for capitalising on new self knowledge.
• To get a clear understanding for each participant of the power and influence she/he has as a result of a personal leadership and communication style.
• To set up a method of effectively transferring learning to the workplace. The acquisition of knowledge in the key areas to support development as a team leader and for increasing team performance including motivating others, action centred leadership, situational leadership, the task achievement process, 'How to develop a winning team' - a precis of the studies of popular current authors on team development.

The programme takes place over 4 days. It will be largely outdoors and will involve a series of team projects to parallel work situations. Through working in a small group both as a team leader and team member, participants will experience the responsibilities of the various roles. This challenging programme of team projects and review discussions provides the ideal learning environment to achieve the course outcomes defined.

Review discussions are led by the course tutors during which participants are encouraged to explore those aspects of team work and leadership which evidently have a significant consequence on project outcomes, always with a focus on individual's learning objectives for the workplace.
