Global Resilience East Africa

For managers in relief and development, dealing with everyday relationships can often be every bit as demanding as humanitarian work itself. Left unaddressed, the often competing demands of headquarters, colleagues and team members can lead to misunderstanding and challenges in team relations. All too often this can have a draining impact on morale and productivity.

This thought-provoking and interactive workshop takes an in-depth look at the group dynamics that can unfold in relief and development settings.

Drawing on field scenarios, organisational theory and cutting-edge listening and
facilitation skills, this one-day training is aimed at equipping NGO managers to recognise what is going on in their teams and to deal with problems early and effectively.

Who should attend?

Country directors, department heads, line managers and anyone who supervises staff in field locations.

What will you learn?

By the end of the day you will be able to:

• Identify the range of intense emotions that arise in relief and development settings
• Understand the impact that trying to cope with these emotions has on team dynamics and how that can lead to conflict
• Assess the impact of past life experiences on current working relationships
• Apply effective listening skills to support constructive team relations
• Hold difficult conversations and offer constructive feedback
• Effectively engage with cultural diversity in teams
