Team building training requires experience and results, and fortunately, I have managed to create success for myself through senior management training. When my late husband’s business was into crores of debt, senior management training was one of the first things I focused on.

That made me realise what a game changer it could be for businesses. A company, I learned, is not a one-man/woman game. It is more than that. Bigger than that. It is about handling all the relationships within the company effectively to ensure its smooth functioning.

This is done through its senior management. Senior management is responsible for providing direction and guidance to their teams, while teams are responsible for executing the vision and strategy set forth by senior management. That’s a two-way street that needs to be met.

Effective team-building training can help bridge the gap between the two by providing senior managers with the tools and skills they need to build strong relationships with their teams.

When senior managers take the time to understand their team members and their strengths and weaknesses, they can create a more supportive and collaborative work environment. Here, I bring both my life coach assessment and career counselling.

I believe both go hand in hand. Sometimes, due to certain events in life, senior managers have a fixed mindset on handling things.I change their fixed mindsets into a growth mindset. That’s the first aspect: mindset. If you can’t train your mind, then you won’t be able to put it into action. And if you don’t lead with action, how will people under you be inspired to do the same?

MUST WATCH

Senior management training can help managers develop the leadership skills needed to inspire and motivate their teams to achieve their goals. This includes setting clear expectations, providing feedback and recognition, and empowering team members to make decisions and take ownership of their work. That’s why I believe clarity plays a crucial role 

Also, team building is more than just a one-time event or activity. Instead, it is an ongoing process requiring continuous effort and dedication from senior management and team members. This approach involves regular training and development sessions, coaching, mentoring, and opportunities for team members to collaborate and work together. That’s why my sessions aren’t just a one-time thing; they are continuous efforts that build blocks of strength.

How can training to become a senior manager influence team building? 

Senior Management Training can have a significant impact on team building. As a senior manager, you are responsible for leading and managing a team of individuals with different skills, personalities, and work styles. You can gain the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively motivate, communicate with, and manage your team members. Here are some ways that training to become a senior manager can influence team building:

1) Effective Communication: Effective communication is essential for team building, and senior managers who undergo training can learn how to communicate effectively with their team members. They can learn how to listen actively, ask questions, and provide feedback that helps to build trust and respect among team members.

I believe in the concept of listening to understand.Sometimes your employees just want to be heard and validated rather than solve a problem. They want to feel like their opinion matters just as others. They want to feel included, or sometimes they just say things to feel less threatened. Other times it is about actual problem-solving

2) Motivation: Senior managers who undergo training can also learn how to motivate their team members effectively. They can learn how to set goals, provide encouragement and recognition, and create an environment that fosters motivation and engagement. From my experience,I believe if senior managers dont feel motivated from inside ,they wont be able to do it for the others.Thats why I teach them how to cultivate to motivation even in the darkest of times

3) Conflict Resolution: Conflict is inevitable in any team, and senior managers who undergo training can learn how to manage and resolve conflicts effectively. They can learn how to identify the root cause of conflicts, communicate effectively with team members, and work towards a resolution that benefits everyone.I believe conflict if handled well can lead to a deeper connection.

4) Team Building Activities: Senior managers who undergo training can also learn how to plan and implement time management skills and team-building activities that foster collaboration, communication, and trust among team members. These activities can include team-building exercises, group discussions, and team outings.

Senior managers who undergo training can learn how to promote inclusivity in team building. They can learn how to recognize and address unconscious biases, create a culture of respect and openness, and ensure that everyone feels valued and included.

5) Talent Development: Senior managers who undergo training can also learn how to identify and develop talent within their team. They can learn how to provide coaching, mentoring, and professional development opportunities that help team members reach their full potential.

In conclusion, training to become a senior manager can have a significant impact on team building. By gaining the necessary skills and knowledge, senior managers can effectively lead and manage their team members, enhance effective communication, promote inclusivity, and create a positive and productive work environment.
