Building Resilience and Sustainable Team Performance

COURSE OUTLINE 5 DAYS

Date:  26^th -30^th October 2026

 

Techniques Leaders Can Use to Support Teams in Delivering in Challenging Environments

Course Description

This Building Resilience and Sustainable Team Performance is a specialist and highly interactive training course that offers delegates the opportunity to understand and apply the latest applications of management, psychology, and professional development to enable them to help their own teams to perform and grow in challenging times, where uncertainty and rapid change can be so unsettling to so many.

 

The cost in time and money to recruit and train new team members, as well as the loss of tacit knowledge held by those who may leave, means it is now more important than ever for managers to understand the capital investment and value in the people side of our businesses. What motivates people beyond money? Why do people leave ‘good’ jobs? How do we create a team culture that makes leaving a less attractive option for those talented and often difficult to replace people?

 

Leadership and Communication skills are already known as the most sought-after management skills around the world (McKinsey, 2018). In a volatile global business environment, research shows that building resilience is not a fluffy add-on for senior executives.

• A strong foundation in the modern organizational context and the role of a leader
• An understanding of team dynamics, motivation, resilience, and anti-fragility
• An appreciation of techniques from Positive Psychology and Coaching
• A series of practical tools for delegates to use in their daily work
• The use of exercises and challenges to practice techniques and methods
• A professional environment and a forum to discuss leadership issues with peers
• An opportunity for delegates to reflect on and improve their own practice
