Team dynamics: roles

Identify the optimal team dynamics towards organisational goals

For whom?

This session is for you and your team if you want to create an understanding of the roles you and your colleagues take on in the team. This helps to achieve a more effective cooperation towards organisational goals. To what extent and in which situations do you and your colleagues take the initiative? How do you value these initiatives and are you inclined to elaborate on them? Do you and your colleagues dare to speak out against them? To what extent do you and your colleagues pay attention to the team dynamics and do you provide sufficient information for a meaningful discussion? In this session, you will get answers to these questions. You will gain an understanding of the effect of the extent to which you and the other team members take on different roles. And you determine how you want to optimise this to achieve organisational goals.

Learning objectives

Optimising the team cooperation by reflecting on the different roles team members take on

An understanding of the strengths and concerns of the current team dynamics

A concrete action plan to exploit strengths and manage weaknesses

Approach

The session:

Your team will have a team-building exercise involving an observation. After the exercise, your team jointly evaluates the group process and result. How did the process go? Who did what and with what impact? What roles did the team members take? Ramon then shares his observations and reflections.

 

Results visible through a physical and dynamic set-up

As a second step, the team members move to the quadrant with different roles. Ramon then asks a number of questions in which you and the other team members position both yourself and your colleagues in one or more roles. You also make the link to daily practice. Finally, you mention the opportunities and threats as a team and determine the actions to optimise the team dynamics.
