Homework: You Are a Consultant
Overview
Imagine that you are a leadership teamwork consultant. The new manager of a company has hired you to create a new theme for the company's teamwork training. You will be working with nine other team members.
Your client, the new manager, has always coached individual members of a team in the past, but now the manager has less time and has hired you to help with the training. Executive management believes that the purpose of coaching or training is to work with the entire team at the same time.
You will work with the team from the beginning to define a new theme for training. Brainstorm to devise the type of theme that you would like to use for the company's new teamwork training. Consider the manner in which you would direct the team members to develop this training and the roles that you would assign the different members of the team.
