  1. Train The Trainers Tools for Process Improvement Team Leaders Rod Wells Quality Management

  2. Team Leader Tool Kit • Understanding of Team Dynamics • Facilitation Skills • Data Collection Knowledge • Organizational Communication Skills

  3. Team Dynamics • Four stages of team development • Forming - learning stage; people are cautious • Storming - leaders start to emerge; energy may focus on each other instead of the problem; beware of dominant personalities • Norming - understanding of the project and how to attack it; some people start helping others • Performing - real change being made; team enjoying success

  4. Facilitation Skills • Know how to manage meetings • arrive early and make sure everything is in place and functioning • create an agenda and stick to it • define roles (who will take minutes, etc.) • set ground rules (phones, breaks, etc.) • always evaluate the meeting afterwards • Brainstorm to generate ideas • Organize ideas, identify priorities, drive decision making • Know Thyself • don’t pretend to be an expert if you’re not • don’t tell jokes if you’re not good at it • if you’re not assertive, find someone who is to keep things moving forward • just because you’re good with a hammer doesn’t mean everything is a nail…

  5. Data Collection • Avoid the temptation to demonstrate your knowledge of statistics; match the techniques to the audience • Be careful in how you sample, analyze data and present conclusions • Understand the concept of variation • Understand bias in sampling • Know the difference between correlation and cause and effect • Know the difference between accuracy and precision • Understand how people lie with statistics: “The rich will benefit disproportionately from this tax reduction.” • Don’t start with the conclusion; be objective and let the data tell the story • If it isn’t working, STOP • GIGO

  6. Organizational Communication • Consider Storyboards to make the project visible and encourage feedback and involvement from others outside the Team • Consider a Team Center where the culture of improvement can have a home • Celebrate the process, not just the results

  7. Dealing With Difficult People • There are three types of people in most meetings or seminars: • Learners • Vacationers • Prisoners • Deal with negative people by focusing on their issue, not their behavior. Don’t take it personally. Control your response. • Acknowledge the importance of what talkative people have to say, but also emphasize the importance of sticking to the schedule. • Consider talking to disruptive people during breaks. • Above all, don’t let someone else control your meeting.
