This is a Team-Building Facilitator's Guide and Teammate Handbook. This book is about Team-Building, The Right-Minded Way. I bet you're one of those smart people who prefer a real-world workshop over a "pretend" one, right? Real-world team-building does not subscribe to the idea that games, outdoor exercises, or social events are the most effective approaches.  They can be a lot of fun, but they're not valid substitutes for getting real teamwork done because they are indirect and do not resolve the team's most pressing teamwork issues.  They are pretend workshops. This approach has nothing to do with right brain behavior or right wing political philosophies. This teamwork approach is based on choices that, taken together, define your team's right-minded thought system.  Stop.  Make certain you understand this essential point.   People often ask, "Who decides what is right?"   The answer is simple: your team decides.   • Learn how to facilitate and incorporate these 9  choices in your team using straightforward  exercises. • Use this book with other RMT courses such as our free and comprehensive 12 Step online course: How to Design a Right-Minded Team Building Workshop.   When you incorporate Right-Minded Teamwork into your team-building practice,   • You will create satisfied team-building customers that recommend you to other teams. • You will have truly helped your client team to successfully address and resolve their real-world team issues, and  • You will build a long and rewarding team-building facilitator career that will produce many life-long and enduring friendships.

Right-Minded Teamwork in Any Team: The Ultimate Team Building Method to Create a Team That Works as One

Product Description Work Agreements: What Are They?A team without Work Agreements is like a complex machine without an operator's manual. If not actively maintained, performance will eventually degrade. Teammates might function at acceptable levels for a while, but without Work Agreements, they will eventually decline into separateness and egotistical self-interest.A Work Agreement is a covenant, promise, or pledge that transforms dysfunctional and non-productive work behavior. It is not a ground rule. It is an emotionally mature promise based on collaboration and achieving customer satisfaction. Emotionally mature and productive teammates create Work Agreements to guide them. They strive to sustain Right-Minded Teamwork because they have experienced the benefits of a unified team with shared interests and common goals. In the book Right-Minded Teamwork in Any Team: The Ultimate Team Building Method to Create a Team That Works as One, you will find this definition of Right-Minded Teamwork: Right-Minded Teamwork is a business-oriented, psychological approach to team building where acceptance, forgiveness, and adjustment are teammate characteristics, and 100% customer satisfaction is the team's result. When you apply RMT, your Work Agreements describe what acceptance, forgiveness, and adjustment look like on your team. They define your psychological approach to teamwork or your team's Right-Minded thought system.This book will teach you how to successfully facilitate Work Agreements. Everything you need to know to get started can be found here. Strictly speaking, there is no one absolute right way to facilitate Work Agreement dialogues, but there are a number of fundamental principles for moving teammates into their collective Right Mind. Those key principles are the 10 Steps covered in this book. Learn them, and you will succeed.In the thirty-five years of my team-building career, I facilitated over 500 teams in varying states of conflict and dysfunction. Every team created some kind of Work Agreement and succeeded as a result. In short, Work Agreements are created in team workshops where leaders and teammates openly discuss unresolved interpersonal or work process issues that are already hurting or which have the potential to hurt team performance. These issues are addressed through team-wide Work Agreements. If you feel like facilitating Work Agreements is too much, pause for a moment and consider the bigger picture.The 10 Steps to facilitating and creating Work Agreements are logical and practical.When followed, Work Agreements are consistently effective. Your Right Mind already knows this to be true. It will only take facilitating your first two or three teams using the 10 Steps to confirm this truth for yourself. As you practice, remember you will make mistakes, especially in the beginning. Don't give up. The long-lasting benefits you will bring to your teams will far outweigh any initial missteps.I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Work Agreements are right for every team, everywhere, forever. If you use them, they will help make your client team(s) and the world a better place.As you do, you will do your part to make the world a better place for everyone, everywhere, forever.Let's get started now.Dan Hogan About the Author Early in Dan Hogan's professional career, he fell in love with the goal of becoming a team-building facilitator.

7 Mindfulness Training Lessons: Improve Teammates' Ability to Work as One with Right-Minded Thinking

Most team-building programs have a problem: They do not address or resolve a team's real issues. That is because team games, outdoor exercises, and social events cannot produce reliable results.\nRight-Minded Teamwork (RMT) can. This real-world, team-building method addresses and resolves your team's real issues in a non-confrontational, compassionate, and lasting way.\nWhat Is This Book About?\nRight-Minded Teamwork is the most reliable way to achieve and sustain high-performance teamwork. This book will teach you RMT's proven, twelve-step approach to designing powerfully effective, team-building workshops.\nTeammates will actually want to attend these events because they know they will get real work done.\nNOTE: This book is part of a larger training package that includes a full online training class and customizable, reusable resources. You can find this package, which includes this 12 Steps book in ebook format, at RightMindedTeamwork.com. If you have already invested in the Design an RMT Workshop training program and would also like a paperback copy of this book, please purchase it here.\nIf you are not participating in RMT's training program and simply want to invest in this book directly, thank you for your interest! Please continue with your purchase here.\nIs This Book for You?\nReady to create your own transformational, team-building workshops? This book will get you there. Whether you are a team facilitator, team leader, or teammate, Right-Minded Teamwork will guide you and your team to do no harm and work as one.\nAn Overview of RMT's Workshop Formula\nAt a high level, RMT's 12 Steps formula can be captured in three phases:\n1. Contract: Designing the workshop (Steps 1-9) 
2. Commence: Facilitating the workshop (Step 10) 
3. Carry On: Keeping up momentum (Steps 11-12)\nAs you can see, the initial Contract phase makes up a substantial portion of the 12 Steps process, covering Steps 1-9. During this phase, you carefully construct your workshop, incorporating teammate interviews to ensure active buy-in and participation during your workshop event.\nWith the team on board, you enter the second phase and execute your workshop, facilitating team discussion in a Right-Minded manner. Steps 11 and 12 comprise the final phase, in which your team implements new learnings and teamwork processes from their real-world, team-building workshop.\nA Note from Dan Hogan, Co-Creator of RMT\nIn the thirty-five years of my team-building career, I facilitated over 500 teams in seven countries. For every workshop I led, I used RMT's 12 Steps. Though the teammates and team leaders I served weren't always aware of the process we were following, they definitely appreciated the results.\nToday, RMT has improved the lives and teams of thousands of people worldwide. Though I no longer actively facilitate, leaving it to the next generation of team leaders and facilitators to carry on Reason's message of oneness and shared interest, I will always continue to support those who believe in Right-Minded Teamwork. If you choose to add RMT to your team-building toolkit, I'll be here, ready to offer direction.\nOf course, you can also blaze your own trail: All RMT's tools and packages are openly available, with no licensing or certification requirements. The only thing you need to get started is an open mind and a willingness to apply what you learn.\nBetter teamwork can be yours with Right-Minded Teamwork.\nStart today.\nDan Hogan, Certified Master Facilitator
