The One Most Important Thing (Use Your Words)
This presentation will guide participants through the phases of team development, specific communication-based team dynamics, and critical – even “crucial” –practices to facilitate more effective communication and confrontation. This new learning will lead to better performance management and skyrocketing team and individual outcomes. We’ll address the impact of conflict and dysfunction on teams and internal communications, and how that impact can be rerouted and converted into positive energy that motivates and releases participants to achieve more personally, commit more deeply, and invest more completely in the success of the team and the organization.
Upon completion of this session, participants will:
-
Identify two different types of conflict and define three key indicators of each
-
List the five stages of team development and specify the spaces for conflict and dysfunction in each
-
Analyze the two most dangerous threats to dialogue
-
Identify when a conversation becomes “crucial”
-
Practice / model effective performance management conversations
