Effective Team Discipline
Moving into advanced social responsibilities for your work teams?
Adding team discipline as a responsibility for "self-direction?"
Do you know what to expect?
Effective Team Discipline enables managers and team leaders to assist teams in
maintaining effective discipline within a self-directing work team.
Work teams are one of the leading innovations in business and industry. They are used
to foster employee commitment and increase organizational performance. When properly
managed, these teams can be highly effective.
For those companies who have given work teams a full range of responsibilities
including the management of their own team members' behaviors, the subject of team
discipline is extremely important. Without effective self-discipline within the team, poor
norms and behaviors not only arise, but flourish. Effective team discipline requires very
sensitive management by team leaders and managers.
Effective Team Discipline is based on actual team experiences, and challenges
participants through a series of case studies. The program includes:
A. Overview of Self-managed Teams
B. Discipline Defined
C. Typical Discipline Problems
D. Balancing Participation & Management Control
E. Six Step Improvement Process
F. Initiating Action
G. The Role of Resource Persons
H. Obstacles to Effective Team Discipline
I. Dealing with Denial
ETD is the only seminar of its kind focusing exclusively on the issue of
discipline inside work teams. ETD uses cases based upon real events and engages
participants' imaginations and feelings as they learn how to manage this complex, high
stakes process. The seminar leader, Don Barkman, has helped teams prepare corrective
action plans, monitor performance, and decide discharges. His article on "Team
Discipline: Put Performance on the Line" appeared in Personnel Journal.
Teams which successfully deal with issues of team member discipline become stronger and
more cohesive. Dealing with discipline can be a powerful developmental experience for
teams and managers. They can learn and grow more successfully if they know how the team
discipline process works, what it takes to make it work well, and the problems to expect.
The one-and-a-half days invested in ETD will more than pay for itself in time
savings and peace of mind when implementing your team discipline program. Equip your
managers and team leaders to guide your process successfully in your work teams by
participating in Effective Team Discipline. Contact us today at:
