Why should I learn about this topic?

- Healthy teams don't happen by accident. Knowing which stage of development your team is in tells you what it actually needs from you right now – rather than applying generic teamwork advice.
- Unhealthy dynamics are symptoms, not causes. Learning to trace them back to breakdowns in safety, empathy, or clarity means you can address the real problem instead of managing the fallout.
- Alignment doesn't emerge on its own – it's something leaders facilitate. A shared purpose and working agreements turn "we should work better together" into commitments your team actually makes.

This training is for:

Leaders, managers, and supervisors
Human resources and people operations teams
Executive directors and senior leadership
Team leads and project managers
Employees moving into leadership roles
Professionals in corporate or organizational settings
Nonprofit and public sector administrators
Anyone who wants to strengthen their leadership and team skills

What does this training cover?

+

This workshop teaches practical approaches for building healthy, aligned teams. It covers the four stages of team development, assessing your team's current state, how alignment, clarity, and community strengthen effectiveness, tracing unhealthy dynamics to their root causes, facilitating team-alignment conversations, and developing a Team Health Action Plan.

Who is this training for?

+

This training is well-suited for new and experienced managers, supervisors, and team leads responsible for creating strong organizational cultures, shaping team behaviours, and improving performance.

What is a Team Health Action Plan?

+

It's a practical plan you'll create during the workshop that includes a diagnosis of your team's development stage, one alignment practice, one community initiative, and indicators for measuring success – so you leave with concrete next steps, not just concepts.

Does this apply to new teams or established ones?

+

Both. The four-stage development model helps you locate where your team is – whether it's newly formed, going through change, or long-established – and identify what it needs to move forward.

How does this workshop relate to The Essential Five?

+

Build the Team is the third Essential in The Essential Five, a leadership framework from our book, You Can Manage. This workshop explores that Essential in depth and stands on its own – no prior workshop or reading is required.

Is this training available online or privately?

+

Yes. ACHIEVE offers this workshop in live, on-demand, and private formats. Contact us to arrange a session for your organization.
