My target style. What kind of boss I want to be, why and for what purpose.

Role and tasks today in the areas of the main functions: organizing, delegating, motivating and accounting.
Adjusting the time of day to the caloric content of a team meeting.
Three forms of support: praising, mentoring and correcting, as a necessary distribution of mindfulness to the team.

Phases of team life.
Human behavior, which is a natural process during the formation of a group and different in each phase.
The team’s inevitable regression to earlier phases during personnel changes.
The impact of the team’s stage of development on the results of its work, i.e. their fluctuating performance.
The key and supportive role of the manager in leading

This module helps us understand behavior and processes. It arms us with understanding and patience for the behavior we observe at different stages of a team’s life. This understanding allows us to direct our efforts towards supporting the process, following the group, creating the space needed at the moment, and accompanying the group in its development.

module V

As they see you, so they write you, the boss’s professional exposé.

Coming from a position of formal authority.
Building informal authority in the form of a series of events and processes.
The boss’s exposé, more often than expected by the team.

The module aims to make participants aware of the difference between formal and informal authority, which influences the team’s motivation to work. The key to this module is to build your own exposé for various occasions using the MoSCoW, 5W and Why, what for, how and what models. This skill, practiced in a workshop, is intended to encourage more frequent communication, greater transparency, and minimization of understatements. As a result, it is an invitation to the team to have regular conversations without the risk of losing relationships.
