Principles of Developing Team Performance The aim of this course is for learners to understand how effective leadership and support mechanisms can help to improve and develop the performance of a team. Teamwork is important in many organisations and the success of an organisation is often reliant on the effectiveness and efficiency of its teams. Teams can be utilised for a range of purposes and will often go through different stages before they are a united group focusing on the same objectives. In this course learners will gain an understanding of the purpose of different teams and the stages of team development. A team may not be effective if it consists entirely of leaders or of people with the same skills. To be effective, a team often needs a mixture of skills and in this unit learners will gain understanding of team-role theory and how it is used in team building. For a team to be successful and function effectively it must be coordinated and supported. Learners will gain understanding of the importance of setting SMART objectives, monitoring progress and the role that feedback plays in supporting team members. When teams are functioning effectively and operating efficiently, they will achieve team objectives and contribute to the achievement of the organisation's goals. Learners will gain understanding of how measuring work performance through appraisals and performance reviews will help develop and improve the team. Understanding team members’ different learning styles and training needs is important to the success of any team. Learners will be introduced to different learning styles and learn how to identify the training needs of teams.
