Do you want to develop your confidence navigating team dynamics?

Successful team leadership requires an understanding of the relationships that exist between you and your team members, as well as the dynamics that develop within the team.

This interactive course explores how team dynamics and expectations influence behaviours, relationships and outcomes. We will explore how expectations shape the way we perceive, understand and interpret our experiences, and how these factors impact both individual and collective team relationships.

Using your own team as the focus for learning, you will explore the nature of team relationships and develop greater confidence in recognising the factors that influence them. Together, we will consider how team dynamics affect your leadership role, the experience of team members, and the overall culture of the team.

Through discussion, reflection and peer learning, we will explore the expectations, assumptions and behaviours that may be shaping your team’s dynamics. You will develop practical insights and approaches to help you navigate challenges, strengthen relationships and create the conditions for greater trust, collaboration and effectiveness.

The learning outcomes for this session are:

  • Recognise the role that confidence plays in effective leadership.
  • Explain how expectations influence behaviours and relationships.
  • Describe the dynamics operating within your team and your role in shaping team culture.
  • Reflect on what navigating team relationships with confidence means to you.
  • Identify strategies to develop your leadership confidence in creating the conditions for positive team dynamics. 

We offer a separate course that focuses on the wider relationships you manage as a leader of a team – this is Developing your Confidence as a Leader of a Team. Find out more about Developing your Confidence as a Leader here.

This event is open to leaders at all levels and from all roles who would like to build their confidence – you do not have to be a manager or lead a team to attend. 

This event will be also available to add to ‘My Learning’ in the Leading to Change app on completion of attendance. 

Tea and coffee will be available, however please note that lunch is not provided. Participants can bring their own and there is a range of local shops and cafes nearby.
