Leading small teams

Leading is a special challenge: it is a process of influencing that is intended to move independent people in a very specific direction. And these employees should be motivated, loyal and flexible to act in the best interests of the company. In order to achieve this, the superior should not only be familiar with the range of management instruments, but also – playfully – use them.

In small teams, however, this is associated with special features: There is a close, sometimes almost family relationship between the employees, processes and behavioral patterns have become ingrained and people understand each other when called upon or even without words. Many managers find it difficult – precisely because they are so close to their own employees – to demand performance, give open feedback, initiate change and then implement it.

This seminar should help to master the special challenges of small teams and to continue to be (still) successful. Clarify your role as a “team manager”, take a different perspective and discover other or further possibilities for action in order to act confidently in different situations.

Topics

• Role clarification and own management style
• Different levels of cooperation
• Proximity vs. distance in the team
• From material to management tasks
• Phase progression in working groups – Which leadership style fits which team phase?
• Instruments and procedures to support team development
• Why team roles are important

Methodology

The practical work and the exchange of experiences among each other are the main focus of the workshop. Through discussions, exercises, checklists and on the basis of their own situations on site, the participants examine their own behaviour and thus increase their personal impact. New positive attitudes offer alternatives for behaviour and action and give – especially in difficult situations – security and self-confidence. They contribute to personality development and lead to high personal motivation.
