Leading Teams
Teamwork is perhaps the most overused and misunderstood word in the modern-day workplace. Very few would assert that teamwork doesn’t matter because it does matter. We know it matters. Most of us can identify it when we see it. But do we actually know what it takes to create it? What goes into building and sustaining a strong team? Is it luck, work, or both?
Leading Teams provides team leaders with a proven road map and set of tools to build and sustain team success. As a result, participants will have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take their team to new levels of effectiveness, performance, and results.
Who Should Attend:
Managers, frontline supervisors, and team members, as well as anyone who can and should contribute to team success..
