What will you learn in the Team Effectiveness Model course?

You learn how to use the models of Tuckman, Lencioni, Belbin and Hackman to analyse and strengthen your team's effectiveness. You work on collaboration, communication, conflict handling and setting clear goals, and leave with a concrete action plan for your own team.

Which models are covered in the course?

You work with four leading models: Tuckman's stages of group development (forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning), Lencioni's five dysfunctions of a team, Belbin's team roles and Hackman's five basic conditions for effective teams.

Is prior knowledge required for this course?

No, no specific prior knowledge is required. Experience of managing or supporting a team does help you to link the material directly to your own practice.

What does the course look like?

The course is interactive and practice-oriented. You alternate theory with exercises and case studies, work in a small group and receive personal feedback from an experienced trainer. Your own team is always the starting point for the exercises.

Do you receive a certificate afterwards?

Yes, on completing the course you receive a Learnit certificate of participation as proof that you have attended the course.

What is the difference between Tuckman and Lencioni?

Tuckman describes the stages a team goes through in its development (forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning). Lencioni focuses on the pitfalls that hold teams back, with five dysfunctions: absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability and inattention to results. On the course you learn to combine both models.

Why is the Belbin model so well known?

Meredith Belbin distinguishes eight team roles, such as plant, monitor evaluator, coordinator, implementer, completer finisher, resource investigator, teamworker and shaper. The model is popular because it shows that a balanced team does not consist of similar people, but of complementary roles that reinforce one another.

What makes a team effective according to Hackman?

Richard Hackman identifies five basic conditions: a real team structure with clear boundaries, a compelling direction with meaningful goals, a supportive context with resources and information, expert coaching and enabling norms. Only when these conditions are met can a team really perform.

Can I also take this course in-company?

Yes, the Team Effectiveness Model course is also available in-company, for example with your own team or management. The content is then tailored to your situation and objectives. Contact Learnit to discuss the options.

How do you apply what you have learned in practice?

Throughout the course you work with your own team as a case study. You analyse the stage, the roles and any dysfunctions, and devise suitable interventions. You finish with a concrete action plan, so that after the course you know exactly which steps to take on the shop floor.

Your team only really functions when the mutual relationships are right, the roles are clear and you stay on course together. In this course you gain the models and tools to achieve that.

Description

You will work with four leading models for team effectiveness: Tuckman's stages of group development, Lencioni's five dysfunctions, Belbin's team roles and Hackman's basic conditions for successful teams. For each model you learn what it means for your team and how to apply it straight away.

The course is strongly practically oriented. You analyse your own team, recognise patterns that block collaboration and practise techniques for clear communication and for raising tensions openly. Your own experience in practice is the starting point for the exercises.

You finish with a concrete action plan for your own team. That way you know exactly which steps you are going to take back in the workplace to increase effectiveness.

Result

After this course you can recognise the stage your team is in and know which interventions are appropriate. You can analyse the roles within your team, identify and address dysfunctions, and create the conditions in which team members can come into their own. You communicate more clearly, hold difficult conversations sooner and set goals your team is willing to commit to. You leave with a concrete action plan for your own working situation.

Target audience

The course is intended for team leaders, supervisors, project and production managers, HR professionals and other managers who are responsible for how a team functions. Whether you lead a permanent team or guide temporary project teams, you will gain the models and skills to take collaboration and results to a higher level.

Teaching method

The course is interactive and practice-oriented. You alternate theory with exercises, case studies and reflection on your own team. You work in a small group, so there is room for depth and personal questions. The experienced trainer switches between explanation, examples and practice moments, and gives you targeted feedback on the way you apply the models.

Prior knowledge

No specific prior knowledge is required. Experience in leading or guiding a team will help you link the material directly to your own practice.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

Learning theory from a book that you can then hardly use in your work? Not at Learnit! Whichever training you take with us, you can put it to use at your workplace straight away. Because of the unique learning objectives you set together with the trainer at the start of the training. Because of the alternation between theory and (interactive) practical assignments. And by bringing the challenges you face in your daily work along to the training.
