Talking with
your Team: What this Program is about...
|
-
Conversations are at the core of constructive teams.
They’re the way we stay in touch, build bonds, exchange ideas, sort out
plans, fix problems and take action. Communication or lack of it is a
constant complaint in most teams – and at the bottom of better
communication is an ability to have
better conversations.
-
Better conversation means better teamwork. The way teams
talk together is a telling indicator of morale, culture, climate,
performance and team cohesion. It’s a key element in the effective
functioning of any team. Yet while we engage in them all the time, the
importance of becoming more skilled at conversations seems to escape us.
Many of us work together for years and never take the time to reflect on
how we come across or talk to each other.
-
It’s as though conversations are so fundamental to
everyday life, most of us never stop to think how we might become better
at them. If your team’s never talked openly over how you work in with,
and come across to, each other, you’re probably perpetuating errors and
omissions in the way you see and relate to each other. And that’s what
this clinic is all about.
-
Talking with your Team
