We had a great session on building innovative teams and understanding how teams work. I found this unit really interesting and enjoyed the Belbin Team Role's identification and think this is a useful tool to apply at work. Mindtools has info and links to the self perception inventory at this link. I also learnt about the situational leadership model which I think is a useful tool. So will try to get my hands on a copy of The One-Minute-Manager Builds High Performing Teams. Applying this to my own team I can see the constant struggle we have experienced as we have had 10 out of the 12 people in our team join in the last 2 years. Our team has been forming and re-forming and re-forming since I started nearly 3 years ago. This has meant that it has been really hard to think of us as a team as we still tend to work parallel with each other, occasionally coming together but not really working on our services together.
In our team we have lots of 'people' people and struggle with the action and thinking roles a bit more. We are about to embark on a new round of recruitment so will take this info with me during that process.
