What do high functioning teams look like and what does it take to get there?

As leaders, you each enter into a team environment under different circumstances. Some inherit a team, some develop a team from scratch, some have large teams, some have small teams. Most teams have some element of difference. As a leader, understanding where your team is at is the first step you should take before stepping into the realm of high functioning.

This session introduces learners to theory identifying the crucial elements needed and the stages that teams will go through in order to reach the standard of a high performing team. This will also extend into the value succession planning, ensuring that whatever your team applies along the way remains sustainable into the future, and not just a current fad.

This session aims to support the learner to:

• Understand the stages of team development;
• Understand the indicators of a high functioning team;
• Identify signs of dysfunction; and
• Identify and develop future leaders.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION FOUNDATION
Donate today – Give our most vulnerable children the best start to life!

The Early Childhood Education Foundation strives to ensure that children from families experiencing financial difficulties have access to a funded kindergarten program which will enhance their opportunities to succeed in life. Our mission is to support vulnerable children to attend kindergarten programs to help build their brains and bodies now and set them up for positive health in the future.

Research demonstrates the important role of high-quality early childhood education experiences on children’s development. However, the cost of sending children to a kindergarten program for disadvantaged families and carers is often a barrier to attendance. There are thousands of children across Victoria in need of our support.

Every dollar invested helps our most vulnerable children and assists with breaking the cycle of inter-generational disadvantage.
