Teamwork Minutes Dr Denny Davis

Teamwork Minutes brings authenticity to learning teamwork in project settings. Teams discuss and negotiate team relationships, goals, processes, and work practices as they address project challenges. This gives every team member a stake in the discussions and the opportunity to shape the team to meet individual and team goals. As a result, the team benefits from the perspectives and contributions of every member, not just the powerful few. Teamwork Minutes is structured to incorporate brief team-focused discussions into regular team meetings. Each exercise raises a topic for discussion, addressing team management, team relationships, team communication, working together, or working alone. Questions focus the discussion on common issues related to the topic. Each exercise is seeded with a time-honored principle. The exercise ends with identification of actions to be taken to advance the team toward improved performance. Why just learn about teamwork and issues of concern? Teamwork Minutes builds team cohesion, practical teamwork understanding, and enjoyable team work that yields lasting results. Investing a few minutes under the mentoring of Teamwork Minutes will produce exceptional performance and team skills that transfer into future team settings.
