Leading High Performance Teams

The ability to develop a strong sense of teamwork is a critical skill for any leader that manages a team, and in fact teamwork may be one of the few sustainable advantages that organizations can have in today’s competitive world. This workshop is designed to provide the skills to leaders that help diagnose how their own team is performing and to identify the steps that need to be taken to optimize it. Skills are taught through a hands-on team-based simulation that exposes all of the common pitfalls.

The workshop is a skills-based training version of our popular team optimization facilitation that we typically do with intact teams.
