Team Development
Constructing winning teams is tough. From new hires to old colleagues, 'team building' is no longer enough! And so often, corporate team building exercises only serve to reinforce existing hierarchies, creating an opportunity for the usual suspects to promote themselves and failing to provide an opening for less vocal individuals to step up and show you what they're made of. In other words: more of the same.
Our team development days will take your team apart, allow you a glimpse of its inner workings, before building it into back up into a more cohesive, dynamic and effective unit. Central to all our events, whether it's corporate team building, sales team training, communication skills, corporate leadership training or military skills training, is 'the brief'. This crucial document is created by yourself and the Go Commando team to identify the business issues you wish to address and the behaviours you're hoping to encourage. By working with you to construct the brief, we are able to formulate activities which are relevant to and reflective of real workplace challenges and scenarios, producing real business results.
Using a fresh approach that combines the best military expertise with real business knowledge, Go Commando will take your people through a combination of mental agility, physical ability and team exercises. This will not only help identify strengths and weaknesses, it will help understand them. By building on their strengths and giving them the courage and skills to comabt their weaknesses, your team will evolve into a motivated, confident unit ready for battle!
“This was our second year of employing the talents of Go Commando to support our annual company ‘get away’ and it impressed us every bit as much as last! After a tough year in which our company revenue targets doubled, almost 50%of our people are new hires (including half of our senior management team) and having launched products in two new geographical markets – all against a continuing backdrop of economic uncertainty - we were ready for a healthy mix of fun and team-building to let off steam. In the grounds of a stunning country house hotel, the Go Commando team lead us through a series of frustrating, physically and mentally challenging, sometimes funny (and sometimes exhausting!) challenges that pushed our communication, leadership and teaming skills to their limits! Apart from seeing each other in a new light, we have seen some tangible changes in our business: those that used to be quiet learned to speak up (as what they had to say was every bit as valuable as any other member of the team when it came to how to make a human triangle whilst blindfolded!) And the ‘water and pipe’ challenge caused such competition in the company that we still refer to it when communication is not as good as it should be. The Go Commando team fitted themselves so seamlessly into our plans for our few days away and organised themselves behind the scenes with such rigour that event went without a hitch and people are still talking about it 3 months on. I would highly recommend working with Go Commando for any corporate or leadership development needs. Apart from all of the above, they are just such fun to be around!”
