Process of Team Building
Lupin Laboratories implemented a well-defined team-building process consisting of several key phases:
- Selection: The initial phase involved a careful screening process to identify individuals who demonstrated exceptional performance. The focus was on handpicking executives who exhibited the potential to contribute significantly to the teams.
- Grooming: This stage emphasized the development of business acumen and the transformation of team members into well-rounded business managers, surpassing their functional expertise. The selected individuals underwent a comprehensive three-month cross-functional training program, enabling them to gain a deep understanding of the company and its overarching corporate strategies.
- Training: Building upon their functional expertise, team members then underwent an intensive one-month training program designed to enhance their leadership skills. The training module aimed to foster team spirit, improve communication skills, and foster strong interpersonal bonds within the company. It encompassed various aspects, including effective presentations, proficient communication techniques, adept verbal and non-verbal behaviour, active listening and questioning skills, polished public speaking abilities, assertiveness training, and impactful presentation skills.
- Appraisal: A vital aspect of the team-building process was the appraisal phase, which spanned five days. This phase incorporated self-evaluations and evaluations from colleagues. The program focused on assessing crucial competencies such as recall, concept retention, commitment to improvement, receptiveness to feedback, alignment with the company’s values, accurate assessment of others’ abilities, and honed observation skills.
