What and how

There are all kinds of teams: football teams, workgroups at school, executive boards, departments at work, etc. It's highly likely that you deal with at least one such team. Perhaps you're a team manager, project leader, coach, or just a member of the team. Maybe your team has only just started and you want to make a flying start. Or you're involved with a team that often has issues. You want to get your team back on track. Recognize any of this? Then this course for you!

Do you have a team in mind that you want to put back on track? Or perhaps increase its success? Do you have a say in that team? If your answer to these questions is "yes," this course is right for you!

What will I learn?
This course teaches you what a team is, what affects the success of a team, and what you can do with your team to influence this. Of course, it's up to you to translate this and apply it to your own team. What's the leadership like? What about team building? Is teamwork encouraged through coaching? Forging a good team is easier said than done. This course isn't just about gaining knowledge, it's all about practice, practice, practice! And yes, that requires something of you.

This course takes you on a step-by-step journey to improving your team and increasing its effectiveness. Perhaps you're not used to looking at your team this way, or maybe you're wondering if this fits your organisation? Well, there's only one way to find out. Just take a close look at the theory and the assignments and take what's relevant to your own situation. You'll learn the required theory, get started with your own team, and get tips from experts and people with experience. And you'll formulate the answers to a number of questions, including:

What kind of team are we?
What affects the effectiveness of the team?
What are the team's goals?
How do things stand regarding the roles and tasks within the team?

What will I do?
In this learning journey, you'll be introduced to the various kinds of teams, the different stages a team goes through, and the different types of team collaboration. Everyone has his or her own responsibility within the team, while everyone depends on each other in the group. Nobody can achieve that shared ambition alone. Every team member has skills related to his or her field and thus contributes to the team's shared ambition. Needless to say, good communication is incredibly important in this respect! You'll be working on these aspects and many more in this learning journey.

In this learning journey, you'll discover:

how to build a strong team
what affects the success of a team
how to encourage team development
