Duration and Training Method
A three-day classroom course. This highly practical course provides development and practice opportunities in the skills, behaviours and processes of both leading and building high performing teams.

Participants will learn to:
- Understand the characteristics and dynamics that create high performing oil and gas teams.
- Appreciate how teams form, evolve, communicate and develop.
- Understand different roles that exist in effective teams, how individuals are motivated and how these can affect performance.
- Understand how to use the best communication tools and feedback to contribute to team performance.
- Learn leadership styles and how to apply these and team working skills regardless of team composition for a more effective business outcome.
- Develop implementation strategies to ensure effective team delivery leading to increased business value.

Participants will be split into 2 groups and complete a case study applying the tools and skills learned on day one & two to the challenges presented. The background of the case study will provide the ‘generic’ industry and organisation they work in, the market trends, the culture and leadership, bios of their team members and some of the issues they face. During the scenario each group will have to work up solutions to a range of problems (plan) and then apply these (do) in a series of group exercises, telephone calls, email exchanges, teleconferences, meetings etc. They will get real time responses to the approach taken and this will be followed by a review of learning (review) between the groups so as to share and embed the learning (learn). This approach is based on the Kolb learning cycle of learning: plan - do - review - learn.
