Football Team Performance
Part 1
 A non-league football club has been having a bad season. Towards the end of season and with only a few games to play they have yet to win one match. They are not a rich club and so have not had funds for providing the best strips, turf etc.
All team members are de motivated and see no reason for trying to win. The manager and coach are both at a loss for ideas and feel that there is now no hope. They have a match due in four weeks with their greatest rival. A win may be the magic ingredient to put some life back into the team.
A local millionaire sponsor has offered to provide unlimited resources to help the team achieve the victory over their rival.
You have been employed as motivational consultants. Discuss and make a list of ideas. What can you do to give this ailing team a sporting chance?
Part 2
Now take the list of ideas and identify a work situation to correspond with each idea, eg change the strips might correspond with new uniforms that are more serviceable or more fashionable.
Part 3 Do you have any points that you may wish to raise to management and do you need to change your behaviour in any way to help the team win? Discuss in groups and write action plans on the flip chart.

| Training in action: The Danvers Team |
| |
Syd had the privilege of delivering a team building event with a team comprising USA and UK scientists in the biochemical industry.
The event was designed to help the newly formed team of USA scientists and their Newcastle buddies get to know each other, learn about team roles, determine the groups' values and guiding principles and produce a plan of action for launching their new venture in Danvers USA.
Syd included Belbin team roles to help the process and delivered a session on ‘high performing teams’ based on the recent Olympic experience.
A session on Forming – Storming – Norming – Performing model of group development, first proposed by Bruce Tuckman helped the team understand how the team would develop, and along with an understanding of each individual’s role, team core values and a framework of team objectives the team returned to Danvers enthused and equipped to be a high performing team.
The team is now performing well and making good progress, resulting in the need to recruit more team members.
Contact Syd direct to get help in making your team a high performing team. Call Syd direct now and benefit from our September offer. Telephone 07966 486546 or drop him an email.

“… Thus the reward of industrial leadership: to see people, who do not believe they have the capability of being a winning team, gaining confidence and effectiveness and morale, and the respect not only of their peers, but also of their competitors and the world outside.”

Toss a coin
Whenever you’re called on to make up your mind, And you’re hampered by not having any,
The simplest way to solve the dilemma you’ll find, Is simply by flipping a penny.
No, not so that chance shall decide the affair;
As you’re passively standing there moping.
But as soon as the penny is in the air, You’ll suddenly know what you’re hoping
