Leadership

Developing High Performing Teams

Demystifying the "Magic" of Exceptional Teamwork

Overview

This is an advanced seminar for experienced team leaders and team members interested in expanding their options and skills for developing powerful, high-performance teams within and among organizational units. With the practical tools this experiential seminar provides, you will explore how to revitalize and raise the bar for established teams; help teams respond to change; launch new or merged teams; “jumpstart” short-term project teams; manage multiple alliances; and forge collaborative action among organizational units or agencies.

You will learn realistic strategies for aligning effort, tapping the synergy inherent in individual differences, and creating teams that meet ever-increasing demands for excellence and innovation.

  • Experience using “how-to” tools for team development
