What is the difference between team building and leadership team development?

Team building typically focuses on relationships, connection and shared experiences.

Leadership team development focuses on how a team functions as a leadership system.

This includes decision-making, accountability, conflict, trust, authority, communication and the patterns that emerge when pressure increases. The goal is not simply to help people get along. It is to improve how the team leads, coordinates and performs together.

While team building can strengthen relationships, leadership team development addresses the deeper dynamics that influence organizational performance. OSC offers both, designing programs around the specific challenge the organization is facing and what it is trying to achieve.
