Abstract

This workshop on negotiating better teamwork aims to help participants become better team leaders by increasing their awareness of the main challenges to effective teamwork and by improving their skills at observation, analysis, listening, and giving feedback. In many organizations, working in teams is an everyday occurrence that has its obvious benefits, along with many possible pitfalls. In training successful employees and leaders, it is vital for them to develop the skills to negotiate and give feedback to others within teams. However, just like in any performance environment, not all team members get along with each other; frictions and frustrations occur; and the consequences are ineffectiveness or even outright conflict. We designed this workshop to alert participants to several typical problems of team cooperation that may arise, so they can practice, review and receive coaching on their approach to these critical situations. The simulation is ideally suited for team-based work with the MBA or other education situations. It is also written broadly enough to be used in any training environment where developing team negotiation and feedback skills are important.
