Team building online

Do you recognise this?

Due to Covid 19, your team has been working from home for some time. Following the first shock wave, the most important business has been organised. Lots of things are running via the digital route. However slowly but surely people are getting a little tired, you miss that genuine contact, that real connection. You know that this period has had a significant impact on everyone. Also on your team as a whole!

Soon you will be able to get back to work at the office with the 1.5 metre distance. You take the necessary precautions but you ask yourself; How is it really going with my team? How can I use the lessons learned from each individual and from the team during the restart? Is it possible in these times to invest collectively in the team, so that we can have a much more productive start once we are in the office? Can we perform team building online?

The answer is: Yes we can.

How can we be of assistance?

Wat we will precisely do is unknown as each team is unique in their own way. However we have an inspiring and effective approach. After a short intake and two short online sessions, we will develop steps to further build the contact amongst the team members. They will learn how to improve their support of each other and to optimize and utilize each other’s motivations and talents. We do this through the use of in depth breakout sessions of small groups of twos and threes. We ensure that the team takes steps that not only help now but also make the team stronger as we slowly transition to the 1.5 metre society.

Approach
1 – Intake

We will perform a short intake with all or some of the members of the team. Where do we stand, what is going well, what has changed due to Corona and where are you now? This is where we take advantage of the penetrating and at the same time practical philosophy of Authentiek Leiderschap. This philosophy allows us to define with a high level of precision what your team needs. Below you can find some of the questions that we would be asking in order to gain insights into the team.

  • • How are you really doing?
  • What do you think about returning to the office?
  • What have you learned about yourself and how can you hold on to this?
  • What have you learned about yourself that you wish to address?
  • What have you learned about your team and how can you hold on to this?
  • What have you learned about your team that you wish to address?
  • What help you can use from your teammates?

In addition, here are a number of questions regarding the 7 layers model of Authentiek Leiderschap:

  • Environment: How has your perception of the environment changed?
  • Behaviour: Which choices have you all made and still remain to be made, where do you need to accept the new reality and where do the opportunities lie?
  • Skills: What goes well and what can improve in relation to the influencing styles towards each other?
  • Norms: Which new norms and structures have crept into your routines? Which would you like to keep and which do you wish were different? Are you led by desire or fear? Which behaviours would you wish to see more of from each other?
  • • Egos: How do our Egos relate to each other? In which areas do you strengthen each other and where is the room for improvement? (A previously filled in Ego Scan can be used to assist with this.)
  • Values: Which values are going to support us now and in the future?
  • Authenticity: Perhaps the most important: What is each individuals personal mission? How often do we act accordingly? How do we unleash your talents and energy that lie within your mission?

2 – Online team sessions

  • Based on the results of the intake we will build a dynamic and impactful program dealing with the subjects that are important now.
  • The total online team building session will last for 2 x 1,5 hours, spread out over two (possibly subsequent) days. In the interim, issues will be worked on directly in subgroups. For example, Tuesday from 10:00 – 11:30 the first session and on Wednesday from 10:00 – 11:30 the second session. It is also possible to perform the second session a week later if that is a more suitable option.
  • We and you will use various inspirational forms to enter into conversation with each other. An important component of this could be our Feedforward process. What can we give as an individual to the group in terms of compliments and suggestions so that the optimal strength of the team can be utilized and which actions evolve from this for the team and the individual?

In between the two sessions subgroups will be working through the issues, which will result in the team making significant steps forward in a short period of time.
Guaranteed to be an inspiring session with a great deal of mutual connections.
