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.

What others say about this course
“An instructive course in which the trainer responded well to our questions and learning objectives. Taught in an interactive way and with humour.”
“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.”
“Very instructive, it makes you think. It makes you stronger for the future.”
“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.”

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 the effectiveness of your team. You work on collaboration, communication, conflict handling and setting clear goals, and leave with a concrete action plan for your own team.
Who is the Team Effectiveness Model course intended for?
The course is suitable for team leaders, supervisors, project and production managers, HR professionals and other managers who are responsible for how a team functions and who want to improve collaboration.
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 in leading 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 practically 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, after completing the course you will 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. In the course you learn to combine both models.
Why is the Belbin model so well known?
Meredith Belbin distinguishes eight team roles: 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 identical 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 truly perform.
Can I also take this course in-company?
Yes, the Team Effectiveness Model course can also be delivered 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 you are going to take in the workplace.
