Karolis Noreika
Build Your High-Performing Team in a Day
Building a high-performing team takes time. Some teams may consider themselves high-performing, but behind the timely delivery and safe discussion topics lies the elephant in the room of unspoken expectations, lack of alignment, and sometimes even overburn. This time Karolis invites you for a workshop to share his practical methods on how to build your high-performing team in a structured and time-tested manner.
The workshop format has been implemented on many teams: from training sessions to teams that have been working together for a long time still providing value and helping the teams to move to a high-performing team state.
As this workshop is for seasoned professionals it is expected that you are already aware of the following models:
1) Tuckman‘s group development stages
2) Lencioni‘s „5 dysfunctions of a team“
3) Satir‘s change model.
You will use them during the workshop, but only go into a little detail and immediately deep dive into practices that help to build and sustain a high-performing team.
Workshop duration: 6 hours (all day).
Karolis currently works as a freelance Agile consultant, lecturer, and Scrum master at Adform. He has vast experience in different companies and positions such as IT project manager, business analyst, and Agile coach.
Karolis is interested in business agility, team-forming methods, and best practices.
He is motivated by helping organizations, teams, and individuals solve problems, grow, and use their potential.
