Team Development Toolkit

 Even the best teams need a little help from time to time to work better together.

In this carefully curated toolkit, we have pulled together five tools from our selection that we believe will enable you to help almost any team with their core team development needs.

Use these 5 team development tools to help team members work together on important issues in fun, interactive ways, while learning more about each other and the team as a whole.

1. Psychological Safety Cards: Feeling psychologically safe is a key requirement for effective team communication and productivity. These cards provide a way of talking about how safe people feel in the group. And they describe the behaviours the team need to cultivate so that everyone feels safe to speak up.
2. Values Cards: Values drive behaviour. Helping people understood each other’s values allows them to find commonality beyond surface differences. Bound together by common values, people become more motivated and find a way to work together.
3. Team Roles: Different people bring different strengths to a team. These cards help everyone understand why their colleagues tend to behave the way they do. Once these differences are clear for all to see, everyone can work better with each other.
4. Appreciative Inquiry Cards: Appreciative Inquiry is a tried and tested way of helping a team identify the future they want to achieve and how to get there in a positive and strengths-based way. These cards help you structure the session and can be used for exercises in the session.
5. HEX Cards: A big challenge for teams can be how to create connection and coherence across the variety of team experiences and thoughts, hopes and desires, dreams and aspirations. With their hexagonal shape, these cards are ideal for co-creating ‘team stories’ that all can contribute to and all can see.
