A team that runs smoothly rarely comes about by itself. You learn how to recognise the group roles, build trust and steer your team through each development phase without conflicts or stagnation taking over.
Description
You want a close-knit team that delivers outstanding results together. But what do you do when tensions rise, results disappoint or the energy drains out of the group? In this course you work on the skills you need to make a team truly flourish.
You gain insight into the various group roles and how together they form a balanced whole. You learn to guide your team through all the phases of the group process, to develop trust and to encourage healthy decision-making. You also practise techniques for group work and interventions, so that you spot problems early and tackle them in a targeted way.
By the end you will know how to make the best use of everyone's qualities, how to get everyone pulling in the same direction and how to create a team culture in which people are proud of what they achieve together.

Teaching method
Tailored content is central. In an intake interview, the trainer discusses your personal learning objectives so that the programme matches your situation. You work in a small group of no more than eight participants in a safe atmosphere in which you can experiment with new skills. We believe in doing and experiencing, so you practise a great deal with cases, role plays and group assignments from everyday practice.
Prior knowledge
No specific prior knowledge is required. Some experience in leading or guiding a group helps you link the material directly to your own practice.

“The course has already helped me take steps forward in my development. I have become inspired and motivated. Exactly what I need to start walking my path to success.”
“A very interesting course that I have got a great deal out of. I will certainly be applying things within our company that I learned during the course. I have also gained a completely different view of the company I work for. Only now do I really see which things could be improved with us. And I will certainly be working on that.”

“Very instructive, it makes you think. It makes you stronger for the future.”
“Learnit is a professional organisation; I have personally made use of the courses offered to me several times and in various ways. I have got a lot out of them personally, and I still apply part of it in practice every day. Importantly, Learnit does not stop after a day's training, but continues to give the client the attention they need in the period afterwards.”

“Under highly professional guidance, as a team of 18 people we made real progress in just 4 half-day sessions in the area of expectations and communication with each other. There turned out to be more beneath the surface than we had thought beforehand; this came out into the open and was discussed properly. We evaluate the agreements together every two years in order to keep to what we agreed.”

Frequently asked questions
Who is the Team Leadership and Team Building course intended for?
The course is intended for team leaders, project leaders, managers and coordinators who want their team to work together and perform better. The content is also a good fit if you are about to lead a team for the first time or want to deepen your leadership further.
Which topics does the course cover?
You work on group roles, the phases of team development, trust and safety, motivation, decision-making, conflict handling and effective interventions. You also learn how to make use of the talents in your team and build a shared team culture.
Do I need any prior knowledge to take part?
No, no specific prior knowledge is required. It does help if you have experience of managing or guiding a group, as you can then work with your own practical examples straight away.
How large are the groups during the course?
We work with a maximum of eight participants per group. This leaves room for personal attention, sufficient practice time and a safe atmosphere in which to experiment with new skills.
Do I receive a certificate on completion?
Yes, on completion you receive a Learnit certificate of participation. This shows that you have attended the Team Leadership and Team Building course.
Can I also take the course in-company with my own team?
Yes, that is possible. Many teams opt for the in-company format precisely because it lets you work on your own cooperation together. We tailor the programme to the situation and goals of your team.
What is the difference between team leadership and team building?
Team leadership is about how you give direction, set goals and manage people. Team building focuses on the mutual bond, the trust and the cooperation within the group. In this course you combine the two: you learn to steer on results and on relationships.
Which phases does a team go through in its development?
A team often moves through phases such as forming, storming, norming and performing. In each phase the team asks something different of you as a leader. You learn to recognise those phases and to adapt your style accordingly, so that the team develops in a healthy way.
How do I deal with conflicts within my team?
Conflict is part of every team and is not necessarily a bad thing. You learn how to spot tension early, open up the conversation and make the underlying interests discussable. With the right intervention, a conflict turns into a moment of growth for the team.
How do I motivate a team that has run out of energy?
The answer often lies in clear goals, recognition and ownership. You learn how to hold conversations that get people moving again, how to divide responsibilities properly and how to celebrate successes. In this way you build new energy step by step.
What makes a team a real team rather than a group of individuals?
A team shares a common goal, feels responsible for the result and makes use of each other's qualities. In this course you learn how to build that shared direction, mutual trust and interdependence deliberately.
What does the Team Leadership and Team Building course cost?
You can find the current price at the top right of this course page, along with the schedule, location and delivery format. For in-company or bespoke courses we are happy to provide a quotation on request.
