Module 6: Group Effectiveness

An organisation exists because the tasks which it sets itself are beyond the ability of a single individual to accomplish on his or her own. For any organisation to accomplish its tasks, the people must work together. Hence, amongst the members of an organisation, teamwork and co-operation is critical. In order for any organisation to get the most from its people, they must all pull in the same direction. For teamwork to be effective, interpersonal skills and negotiation skills are essential.

The objectives of the programme are to enable participants to :
- improve the skills necessary to interact constructively in a one-to-one and group situation;
- develop effective interpersonal skills;
- recognise the importance of effective teamwork;
- enhance teamwork in order to resolve specific organisational problems;
- understand the basics of negotiation, how a negotiation session works and what its key elements are; and
- develop effective negotiating skills.
