1.5 How to unlock your team potential: a collaborative workshop (I)

@evelinebraber, @annasmulders, @maudvanroessel
To help and challenge teams, team leads and open-up the conversation about talents, competencies, ambitions and complementarity we developed the team based working workshop format. This workshop format aims to trigger teams to not only think about skills and strengths of team members, but also about talents, competencies, and ambitions and how these can be best assigned to the tasks that a team is up to. It challenges the team leads/teams to deal with sudden changes in the team composition. It helps them think about the characteristics of a team lead and the involvement of other team members, like support staff. Question like ‘How can we enable the talents of the team members’, ‘How can we foster development while being able to accomplish all our tasks’, and ‘How can we create a more inclusive and diverse team’ will come up during the workshop. After exploring the team members (fictive persona’s) and assigning them to the tasks you, as a fictive team lead, will be challenged by sudden changes that require you to make changes to your team composition. Will you be able to create room for everyone’s talents while also accomplishing your tasks..?
