Working as a High Performance Team
Description
Many companies struggle to compete and succeed because their company is not operating at optimal performance. When the people in a company don't care, are involved in conflicts or have poor communication, the product suffers.
High performance teams don't happen automatically once people are placed in a work group. In fact, it's often the opposite. Building and sustaining a truly high performing team requires understanding and applying some of the basics of organizational development. For example, the characteristics of an effective team and how to create unifying SMART goals that build cohesiveness within the team.
"Motivating High Performance Teams" explores the hallmarks of a truly effective work team. Participants will have an opportunity to confidentially assess the effectiveness of their own work team and learn ways to best support and lead their team to even higher levels of performance and satisfaction.
NOTE: This is an interactive session, in-person attendance is required.
Learning Objectives
- Characteristics of Effective Work Teams
- Basics of Effective Team Leadership
- Understanding how to manage different personalities on the team
