Team Building Services

Wherever your team is now, team building sessions from Leadership Team Services (LTS) can help raise the level of your team's effectiveness. Find out why board-superintendent teams say they accomplish more and have fun when they invite our consultants to facilitate their team building sessions!

What do you want to accomplish in your teambuilding session?

Team building is an annual requirement of board-superintendent teams. But you can make your team building session more productive and less of a chore if you decide together as a team, in advance, what you'd like to accomplish with the time you reserve. To do this, post "team building options" on an agenda and at the meeting discuss what kinds of activities might benefit the team. Discuss and agree on an activity that you think will help the team improve its working relationships. Then decide on a good time to get all team members together and who could best facilitate the activity.  Below are a few of the objectives LTS's consultants can help your team accomplish in a team building workshop.

Clarify roles and working relationships

We can help your team members understand each other better and agree on ways to work together more effectively with sessions that address teams in transition, ethical behavior, team operating procedures, and different personality and work styles.

Set direction

We can guide your team in agreeing on goals for the district, for superintendent performance, or for the board itself.

Assess performance and plan for improvement

Using TASB’s Effective Board Practices: An Inventory for School Boards or other self-assessment instruments, we can help your team identify areas for improvement and develop a plan for making and tracking progress.

Improve community relations

We can help your team identify key communication challenges and differences in values that may create division or inhibit community participation. Then we will guide you in mapping strategies for explaining information and needs in a way that reaches your audiences more effectively.
