Team Leader Traning

The Need

Team Leaders have a pivotal role in organisations; they manage the resources of people, material, equipment and method and have responsibility for implementing change to achieve increased performance.
The individual skills and competencies of the Team Leader have significant effect on the sustainability of business improvement.

The Solution

The solution is training these key employees with the essential skills for the successful leadership of teams, using business improvement activities and cultural change.

This is delivered by a number of ‘learn by doing’ activities within a selected model area, followed by a fully supported implementation in the team leaders own area.

The PP Team Leader Training programme is delivered in five, highly practical and interactive modules.

Module one is the launch at which an initial assessment of the Team Leaders is carried out to establish the skill and knowledge gaps. This allows us to tailor the remaining modules to suit the exact business and individual needs. During this module the Team Leaders take part in a practical simulation activity that demonstrates the tools and techniques that they will be learning and applying.

Module two is designed to allow the Team Leaders to start and gain control of their own areas. Key business metrics(Quality, Cost and Delivery) are implemented and analysed through the use of a Visual Management board. Workplace organisation (5S) is also applied to the model area to engage the team members.

Module three provides the key skills to enable the Team Leaders to perform their role in a more structured and effective way. These key skills include; team roles, leadership styles, effective communication, motivation, delegation, coaching
and managing change.

Module four delivers the appropriate tools required to implement change in the workplace. These changes will have been identified through the on-going collection and analysis of business metrics. Typically these tools include; 7 wastes, standard work and problem solving techniques.

Module five consists of structured review and mentoring visits, both on an individual and group level. This allows the Team Leader to discuss and explore any issues and to gain support and direction on the on-going development of their area. A re-assessment of the Team Leaders skill and knowledge is carried out to quantify their development. Each Team Leader will deliver a presentation to the stakeholders to demonstrate the improvements that have been made in the workplace during their training programme.
