Opening: Overview of model
9:20 - 10:00 AM
Fostering Trust
The foundational characteristic of a healthy, effective team is the presence of trust among team members. This means team members must be willing to ask for help, admit mistakes, and accept input/feedback about their areas of responsibility. This level of openness requires vulnerability and a willingness to challenge the perception that such actions risk individual reputations and/or competitive standing. This session will define the behaviors present in trusting teams and how to begin to foster trust in your team.
10:00 - 11:00 AM
Fostering Trust Exercise

Break
11:15 - 12:15 PM
Implicit Bias and Disempowerment of Marginalized Identities
Interpersonal relationships within a team can be influenced by societal power dynamics and an individual’s implicit biases with detrimental consequences for individual growth and the growth of the team. Ensuring all colleagues are fully enfranchised members of the team requires a lasting commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion principles.
12:15 - 1:15 PM
Lunch
1:15 - 1:55 PM
Conflict Management
Productive conflict, the ideological debate of ideas or concepts, produces robust decision making in a short amount of time. Yet, many teams avoid this type of conflict over fear of hurting each other or personal politics. Avoiding ideological debate, however, often leads to more tension and encourages back-channel attacks. In this session, we will review the tenants of healthy conflict.

Making Commitments to Decisions
A strong team commits to decisions even in the absence of unanimity or certainty. They perceive failure as learning, create clear directions and priorities, and change direction when needed. In this session, we will discuss how to move forward on decisions with buy-in and clarity in the absence of consensus and excessive analysis.
9:30 - 10:10 AM
Making Commitments to Decisions Exercise/Case Activity
10:10 - 10:30 AM
Break
10:30 - 11:10 AM
Accountability
Effective teams maintain a culture of excellence in work. To establish this culture, the goals and measures of success must be clearly stated. To maintain this culture, teams must address when members are not performing as expected. This session will review how teams establish behavioral standards and set expectations of how every team member contributes to success.
11:10 - 12:00 PM
Accountability Exercise/Case Activity
12:00 - 1:00 PM
Lunch
1:00 - 1:40 PM
Attention to Results
A team’s success is determined by their ability to achieve collective goals. Instead of individual status as the motivator for actions, the focus is on specific, attainable organizational goals. This session will help define appropriate organizational goals and methods for remaining centered on these goals, while summarizing the concepts covered in this two-day event.
