Team Dynamics Training
Unlock the Potential of Teams

In every work environment, there is much more happening than what appears on the surface. Underlying tensions, withdrawal behaviors, or subtle interactions reveal a lot about the “real” dynamics between people.

In the Team Dynamics training, you learn how to identify these patterns, make them discussable and transform them into effective collaboration. The approach is not based on theoretical frameworks but on real cases from your own work context. This gives you a clear view of where you encounter obstacles and where there is room for smoother, more productive collaboration with your colleagues or team members.

Who is this training intended for?

This Team Dynamics Training is ideal for:

Leaders at all levels who notice that despite many good intentions, recurring tensions or unspoken silences still exist within their team. Managers who want to take an already well-functioning team to an even higher level.

HR professionals and internal coaches who want deeper insight into group dynamics and to understand why teams sometimes stall or succeed and who want to make these dynamics visible and actionable to keep teams agile in a changing environment.

CEOs and organisations seeking to achieve sustainable cultural change, recognising that understanding group dynamics is essential to building a resilient organisational culture where collaboration, engagement and agility are central.

What can you expect?

Team dynamics refer to the behaviors, interactions, and relationships within a team. These dynamics largely determine how smoothly, openly, and effectively a team functions. During the training, you will:

  • Develop a keen eye for patterns that influence collaboration
  • Become aware of the stage of development your team is in
  • Gain insight into unconscious sabotage strategies that maintain the status quo
  • Understand how team dynamics and culture reinforce each other
  • Discover strategies to transform the status quo and passivity
  • Receive a practical approach to building and sharing ownership
  • Practice with examples from your own context
  • Work in a safe setting on your leadership and approach toward the team

The training is concrete, practical, and fully tailored to your role as a leader.

The Power of - Team Dynamics - in Numbers:

  • In teams with negative attitudes, nearly 4 in 10 performance issues are caused by hidden knowledge; leadership culture can reduce this by a quarter. (Tian et al., 2022/23 – Negative Work Attitudes and Task Performance)
  • 1 in 3 additional employees leave teams where collaboration is poor. (IDC forecast, cited in Wellhub, 2025)
  • Cultural differences account for up to 1/5 of the performance gap between teams. (Dettling, 2023 – How Organizational Culture Affects Team Dynamics)

If I experience communication problems with colleagues in the future, I won’t give up. Instead of turning away after a first negative impression, I’ll ask myself how I can build a bridge with that person — first listen, then speak.
