Developing team spirit
OverviewSeven elements lie at the heart of successful team
development:
-
Self-knowledge and knowledge of other team members
-
A leadership style that encourages the sharing of individual talents
-
Commitment to the goals of the team
-
Relating effectively to others
-
Creative production of results
-
Enhancing the emotional intelligence of all the individuals in the team
-
Application of simple tools on a daily basis to maintain a state of
relaxed alertness and diminish stress
This powerful programme uses a simple tool, the Enneagram, to help teams
develop these seven elements and thus improve their performance
immeasurably.
Training objectivesThe goals of this programme
are to:
-
Acquaint the participants with the Enneagram personality styles
-
Allow the participants to reflect on how closely their own personality
profiles match their own impressions of themselves
-
Offer the participants the opportunity to compare their
self-perceptions with those of another team member
-
Create a profile of the Enneagram types of the members of the team
-
Show how types affect the strengths and limitations of a team
-
Show how a balance of types can improve the effectiveness of a team
-
Promote effective communication among team members
-
Give very practical tools to increase self-awareness and manage stress
FormatThis extraordinarily powerful one-day course is a fun
experience but with a very serious intent. Much use is made of interactive
exercises that are practical and transferable to the workplace.
Participants will explore their own Enneagram style - its special
strengths and weaknesses - and those of the other people in their business
and personal lives.
For maximum impact, this programme is best
delivered with groups of no more than eight people at a time, in which
case a single trainer is sufficient. If the group is any larger than this
then both trainers will be needed.
Special feature - the EnneagramTeam
spirit calls for a degree of emotional intelligence and that starts with
knowing yourself at the most intimate level possible. One key element to
all progress (whatever shape or form) is self-knowledge. Knowing your own
inner game. This is where the Enneagram proves its worth.
The Enneagram
is one of the most powerful tools available to help people understand,
face and work through their limitations in order to achieve so much more
of their full potential. It is a geometric figure that maps out the nine
fundamental personality types of human nature and their complex
interrelationships. The descriptions of these nine types provides often
astonishingly comprehensive understandings about the inner motivations,
thought patterns, basic belief systems, emotional coping mechanisms of
each one.
Those new to the Enneagram are often intrigued and surprised
to discover clear accurate portraits of themselves and those they live and
work with. They find that each style has its own natural gifts,
limitations and blind spots. They also find clearly exposed those
unconscious assumptions (closely held beliefs, opinions, inclinations and
expectations) that they hardly knew they had, but which totally drive
their thoughts feelings and behaviours, and prevented them achieving their
goals. Baffling aspects of their own behaviour suddenly make sense.
In
brief, the Enneagram allows you to discover your own filter or 'worldview'
intimately, allows you to discover the many ways we have been deluding
ourselves, and from there to then see other people from the only point of
view that they are familiar with - their own.

began his career as a pharmacist but his interest in emotional
intelligence led him to leave pharmacy to create, develop and practice
Natural State Technologies (NST ). With more than ten years' experience in
the field - and as a Master NLP Practitioner who has studied with some of
the world's leading experts in the field of emotional intelligence - he
developed his own unique emotional intelligence models and techniques to
help people understand themselves and feel more relaxed, confident and
focused on a daily basis, whatever the situation. Amarpal is joint author,
with Anne, of the
Results Coaching in 60 Seconds book.
Anne
and Amarpal have received excellent feedback for their RC60 and
Enneagram-based training, as the following comments demonstrate:
'I
think my whole approach to teamwork and 1:1 sessions will be different as
I will be able to recognise when I am operating from a healthy natural
state. I will also apply SMART objectives where I wouldn't have thought of
using them before.'
GlaxoSmithKline'I found the
Enneagram profiling the most interesting as it revealed personality traits
I either did not know I had or the ones that could be built upon.
West
Quay Shopping Centre, Southampton'Superb! Reinforced previous
learning. The Enneagram model provides the key framework on which to apply
results coaching by recognition of emotional resistance to success.'
Leisure
Connection plc'Very thought-provoking. The content of the
course was very good and the best part that impacted me was the Enneagram.
I have learnt a great deal about myself - 2 great coaches. 10 out of 10!'
West
Quay Shopping Centre, Southampton'Very relevant. Incredibly
interesting and I will definitely use it! The Enneagram was very
interesting and it was all very useful.'
Sun Microsystems'This
has clarified a lot of grey areas I have had in management and helped me
understand people more. The Enneagram is great way of making it easier to
get the best out of my team. I am sure the impact will be a better
performance and a better karma in the workplace.'
