    • Beware the toxic achiever: successful teams are about we not me
      BSAVA Congress Proceedings 2021

      Very rarely do we work alone in the veterinary profession and outcomes aren’t purely down to one person or one approach – but how do you manage the individuals within the team and keep them working together and towards the same goals? How to do encourage confidence, self-leadership but without egos, siloed working and poor behaviours? This session discusses the importance of trust, psychological safety and the power of constructive challenge within a team. It shares tools to help you consider the level of mutual respect, to consider how conflict and challenge is handled and how you ensure you team are pulling together rather than pulling apart.

    • Good team players are found not made: how to choose wisely
      BSAVA Congress Proceedings 2021

      Authors: Carolyne Crowe and Ernie Ward

      : I’m a strong believer that very few people intend to be the bad team player, but too often we find ourselves working with others who seem to be pulling in a totally different direction or are just out for themselves. What can you do during the recruitment process to help reduce the chance of selecting the wrong person for the role or for your team? Are you 100% clear with who and what you are looking for in the first place-just a vet, a nurse, someone to fill the gap? Which behaviours are you looking for in your new employee? What values match the values and culture of the team and the practice? Are you even sure of the values and culture in your team? If not, how can you be sure to recruit the right person that will fit and be a ‘good team member’ that you are looking for? These are some fundamental questions to be asked prior to recruiting anyone, skills can be learnt (as long as the relevant qualifications are present), forget the letters after the name and look at the person, the values and think about the match you are making. This session discusses how you can attract and retain the right people for your team.

    • The true value of a high performing team
      BSAVA Congress Proceedings 2021

      What do you mean by the word ‘team’? It’s a word we use every day, but what does it mean to you and to your team? What are the words and phrases that come to mind? Particularly a team that is high performing? What do teams do? How do they think? How do they act under pressure? What is the difference between a team and just a group of people? High performance is a culture and permeates through everything you do at work-are you aware of what high performance looks like and how you are monitoring progress, the areas that need tweaking and those that need amplifying? This session discusses the above questions and shares models and tools to help you identify the building blocks of creating a high performance team that works for you and your practice.
