Leading Learning & Development Workshops

What Can Your Team Achieve?

These questions from Patrick Lencioni’s book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team highlight things that might derail your Team from accomplishing all that they are able to achieve.

Even the best leaders and managers recognise that Team dynamics in their organisation can be improved. 

Cultural Strategies can help bring a Strengths-based focus to overcoming The Five Dysfunctions through facilitation of our Workshops. 

We pair the Sharpstone developmental process with an analysis and deep dive into your Team’s behaviours.

The Workshops That Change Everything

Results of our workshops

  • Your Teams will start to look for behaviours among Team members that detract from collaboration and cohesiveness as a Team
  • Your Team will become much more adept at addressing the behaviours in a respectful and honouring manner that will move the Team forward and away from the destructive behaviours
  • As collaborative and helpful behaviours become normalised among Team members, you will spend less time navigating through behaviours and more time on problem resolution, brainstorming processes, and achievement of tasks
  • You will be able to prioritise your meetings to work on the most urgent matters first and foremost, assigning the best people to them with the appropriate Strengths to accomplish them, and gaining ground on your organisation’s objectives
  • Your team will be able to accomplish their Goals within a specified timetable, celebrate the Team’s achievements, and move onto the next goal

You will receive the great vibes and value associated with Teams that work well together toward their specified results with one will and continue to use their Strengths to build one another up before, during and after achievement of your Goals.

Workshop schedule

Together, we will explore your Team’s dynamics and work through the Five Dysfunctions. A certain amount of pre-work may be needed. This method is recommended as it will give your Team the best opportunities for full implementation of changes needed to re-establish a collaborative and dynamic teaming environment:

  • Benchmark where your Team is currently on all Five Dysfunctions using an assessment tool, 
  • Debrief your Team on the assessment results, 
  • Gain understanding of the underlying principles, and 
  • Begin dismantling misunderstandings and start to create more cohesiveness among Team members in the “Building Trust” and “Mastering Conflict” modules.
  • Continue to dismantle misunderstandings and create more connected Teams in the “Achieving Commitment,” “Embracing Accountability,” and “Focusing on Results” modules,
  • Dive deeply into aligning your Team around best results in each of the modules while considering their Strengths,
  • Determine your Goal for the next 3-12 months, along with its Defining Objectives and Standard Operating Objectives,
  • Define/develop appropriate metrics for each of your Defining and Standard Operating Objectives,
  • Brainstorm together the persons or teams of people best able to accomplish each Defining and Standard Operating Objectives through a Strengths evaluation of your Team Grid,
  • Address how to effectively create a “Live” Meeting Agenda and streamline meetings
