About this course:

Teams of all sorts--management, project, new product, production and customer service--are common in organizations today. However, results in task accomplishment are mixed, success rates low and there is a lot of confusion about what really works. This seminar covers how to distinguish real teams from other forms of collaboration; how adequate skill, motivation and performance strategy determine success; what the larger organization must provide in purpose, design and support; how to utilize inherent team dynamics for positive results; and what roles by the team leader or coach are helpful.
