The title of this webinar, How
to Develop (or Save) a Project Team, may sound like it is trying to cover two
completely different concepts at the same time. “How can you discuss developing
and saving a project team in the same course?” is a reasonable question. If you
consider there is a strong possibility that the reason a team needs saving is
because it was not developed correctly in the first place, it makes
sense to take this approach.
We will look first at how to
develop a team from scratch for a new project. Then we will assume you have been
called in to rescue an existing one that is sinking. Once you understand the
elements necessary to develop a productive project team, your first analysis of
the problem can be looking for the extent to which these elements are present
(or not!)
There is a high probability
there are not many. If this is the case, introduction of these elements will
begin to stabilize the team.
The objectives of this course
are to help the participant realize there are specific elements of organization,
leadership, and human motivation that must be present to have a project
workforce develop from a group of individuals assigned to a project to become a
team working together for the common good.
The classic study in
organizational behavior, The Hawthorne Effect, is provided to demonstrate how
vital, yet simple, and easy it is, to create a team of motivated employees.
Participants will have checklists to use in assessing the nature of
organizational, leadership, and employee development opportunities that can help
a project workforce become a team.
Also, a diagnostic team
survey is provided if someone is assigned to “saving” an existing team that will
help him or her pinpoint specific organizational, leadership, and workforce
issues for attention in the salvage effort.
