20/20 MDS® Participant Workbook: Developing Teams-Level 1

This 20-20 MDS® Participant Workbook is an accompaniment to the 20-20 MDS® Workshop Course Pack of the same title.

Developing Teams-Level 1

Teamwork is an essential aspect of social existence. Whether we choose to be or not, we are members of many groups. We have to consider and co-operate with a wide variety of other people in the course of our daily lives. The social contracts we have with, for example, colleagues at work, family members and friends, are in some instances successful and pleasurable and in others not. This module sets out to explain how and why this is so and to help you understand that there is much we can do to make these relationships more positive and productive.

In particular the module focuses on the development of effective teams within the workplace. It starts by looking at what teams are and what it is that makes some teams more effective than others. The module then describes some of the factors managers need to bear in mind when forming or leading workgroups. It describes the classic stages of group development and identifies ways in which managers can facilitate the successful evolution of their teams.

Having established the features of effective teams, the module moves to show how managers can take a proactive role in analyzing group development needs and implementing programs which will meet those needs.
