TCI (Theme Centered Interaction) for leaders: 

By using participatory leadership in your team or (work)groups, you stimulate the cooperation and collaboration needed between group members to work on and complete the task, while simultaneously creating a working climate in which everyone takes responsibility for both him / herself as well as for the task at hand.

Introduction:

Theme-centered interaction (TCI) is a method of working with groups and teams in which the dynamic balancing of four aspects of any situation - the “I’s”, the “We”, the “Globe” (or context) and the “Task” – make constructive action and progress possible.

The participatory leader of a group faces the challenge of leading group members while also participating him/herself, and thus taking part as a leader.  This also means that he/she is a part of the whole and cannot take up a position on the outside of the group. The effects of this participatory leadership are that the group achieves its goals, that there is equality in the collaborative relationships between group members and that each person develops him/herself both at a personal and at a professional level.

Rooted in psychoanalytic and humanistic psychology, Ruth Cohn’s method stimulates group members’ self-leadership and invites them to actively collaborate with each other.  Through open communication and exploration group members discover and make choices about what they can contribute to others in the group as well as to completion of the task, each from out of his or her own uniqueness as an individual.

In this 2day-course we will learn how to work with groups experientially, by working as a group together.
