Charlotte Team Building & Training Corporate Team Building & Training in Charlotte

Interestingly, Charlotte was founded in 1768 at the intersection of two Native American trading paths and named after the wife of British King George III. Charlotte is also home to over 10 Fortune 1000 companies, which makes it an import location for corporate team building. To take full advantage of the many opportunities Charlotte has to offer, consider using team building to get more out of your meeting or conference.
3 ways Charlotte Team Building Can Help Your Business
Develop high potential leaders:
In today’s fast-paced ever-changing environment, succession planning is a key concern for nearly every organization and business. This means that identifying and developing your high potential leaders is more important than ever. So how can you accelerate this process? During a 4-year engagement with APM Terminals (a division of Mersk Incorporated located in Charlotte, NC), we designed and continually delivered a 5-day leadership program that reinforced the organizations core values, targeted key leadership skills, and developed critical interpersonal skills. This was a leadership laboratory where team-building exercises were used to simulate real-life situations and stimulate relevant discussions. As a result, the training was more engaging, the topics were more current, and the impact was more immediate.
Focus on effective strategic planning:
Strategy is a lot like a mission statement… there’s the version that you display on the wall, and the reality that you live. The problem is that if your strategic plan is not being lived, you will likely be blindsided by inaccurate planning. The ability to ask the right questions and collect the right data is critical for this process. Our recent work with the DEB Group (Charlotte, North Carolina) is a great example of how we can streamline this process by focusing on direct applications. And to put this to the test, team-building exercises are the perfect tool to challenge and engage the group. As a result, the final strategic plan is more robust and accurate.
Develop negotiation & influencing skills:
An important skill set for most leaders is the ability to negotiate and influence others. This doesn’t mean we always have to win, but rather to be able to drive and influence important decisions that result in positive outcomes. Interestingly, these skills are just as import with external relations as they are to relationships within the team. Our work with Bank of America, Charlotte, North Carolina, is a great example of how we train and develop these skills. Since our objective is to put these skills into practice, team building exercises provide a valuable testing ground. By providing feedback from both instructors and peers, the group also has the opportunity to begin developing a feedback rich environment that is carried back to work.
