Successful teams in the 21^st century move faster than the speed of the manager.  Successful teams are comprised of autonomous, passionate, self-motivated individuals; each working on their own projects, each project furthering collective team goals.

This team-activity based workshop works well with sales organizations, and teams that are (currently) motivated through the use of “carrot/stick” incentives.

Exercise Overview

1 Lecture (10 minutes)   |   “The Third Drive”

A recap of the article, as well as a fairly direct statement that, as a team, we need to be thinking and acting beyond the training manual.

2 Group Exercise (20 minutes)  |  “Taking Stock”

Through this group exercise, we will evaluate the teams’ “standard” tasks as to whether they should be more systematized or, if they’re more customer-centric, should be less systematized.

3 Group Discussion (15 minutes)   |   “The 1, 2 and 3 of Motivation 3.0″

A discussion to answer the question: “How do we motivate ourselves properly in our tasks?”

4 Wrap Up (10 minutes)   |  “With Great Power…”

Accountability is a key part of more freedom in how we complete our tasks.  A quick planning session for how the team will hold themselves accountable to their deliverables.

Key Deliverables

Staff members completing this workshop will have a clear sense of what they should be working on, the most effective way to work on it, and the impact they have as a result of a job well done.

This 55 minute workshop requires no additional materials beyond the standard Pen, Paper, Whiteboard and Markers.  This is a standalone workshop, and no additional follow up work is required.
