Description/Methods

A central task facing project-oriented organizations is to develop well-balanced, high-performance teams that can reach their goals and independently resolve conflicts. The Team Management Systems (TMS) developed by Margerison-McCann is a highly effective instrument for team leadership. Using three wheels – the work function wheel, the role preference wheel and the linking skills wheel – it covers all the areas of team management. We carry out several exercises based on the model to put together a team management system for your organization. Which work roles does the project involve? What are the role preferences according to the TMS? What are team roles and how is the optimal team comprised? We also explore group dynamics and discuss the tasks of a project manager in regard to team building.
