Trust as the foundation of a successful team

In this team bonding workshop, participants explore the prerequisite of a high-performing team.

Trust is a central part of all human relationships, including romantic partnerships, family life, politics and business operations. Yet, is trust something tangible, or just a feeling that comes and goes? And what is the relationship between trust and a high-performing team? How to build trust and what does it take to maintain it?

The topic of trust widely discussed in business meetings, CEO round tables and networking events.

And business gurus, (Stephen Covey - The speed of trust), contemporary philosophers (Robert C Hall - Building Trust) and star consultants (Patrick Lencioni - The five dysfunctions of a team) have written stacks of books about trust.

Would you not also want to explore this mysterious predisposition of a successful team and to master the skills of building trust?

The main source of research are the TKI Conflict instrument and Lencioni's 2nd Dysfunction, alongside with research about Silo Politics and Case studies. The theory is accompanied by popular team building activities.

We believe that physical exercise helps the brain to process and retain information. We include activities to improve communication skills, emphathy, and understanding.
