| In order
to encourage more effective team member behaviors among the lawyers
in your firm, WMC offers a variety of team building exercises to
enhance teaming skills. Each focuses on a unique set of
teaming objectives, allowing you to choose the exercise
that best focuses on the needs of the firm.
All of the exercises incorporate an aspect of ‘competition’
- which is an inherent characteristic of most lawyers, and therefore
should have appeal to all levels within the firm.
A WMC consultant will work with you to determine the most effective
exercise (or set of exercises).
The duration of each exercise is approximately 1 hour.
Teaming exercises can address:
- acknowledging and managing conflict between team members
- avoiding “group-think”
- recognizing healthy and unhealthy competition
- collaborating to create more wins for everyone
- listening when disagreeing
- increasing appreciation for each others' views
- solving complex problems with limited resources
- dealing with outside competition
- reaching a common goal
- maintaining a positive attitude when things don't go according
to plan
- improving planning, communication, and delegation
- learning from successes and failures
- providing clear instructions and feedback
