Building a High Performance Team

What makes a team thrive? Team Leadership Training

Course Overview

When undertaking any team-related project, it is essential to understand the factors that lead not only to the success or failure of the team, but also what will keep the team thriving; working well together and maintaining accountability beyond the current project and into future charges. This workshop explores the necessary components for an efficient, effective and satisfied team. Team dynamics are derailed when communication is stifled and team members go solo and fail to collaborate or cooperate. This workshop teaches managers how to be highly contributing members of their team and participate in maintaining a productive context and momentum. The course also features options of the Managing by Strengths survey and a behavioral style assessment, both which increase the value of the work done in the training.
