Teamwork

You hear it all the time.

You hang posters in the lunchroom touting it; you read book after book about it; and yet…what is a team?

Teamwork is not just a group of people with common goals. Empire building, power struggles, clashing personalities, group think, differing priorities, and goal creep can all combine to break the back of any team.

Interdependence is the outcome of the collaborative process we have championed. Through collaboration we build an understanding of roles and responsibilities in any given activity and process. To be a “true team’ every member, including the manager, sees the why, not just the what, behind their activities and outcomes. This insight allows both the team members and the manager to work towards a win in the way that brings the most value to all involved.

This course designed to be a facilitated workshop. The course contains customized real-world examples and exercises (taken from attendee assessments) designed to put the skills and competencies to work immediately. The course also contains video and/or audio examples modeling these skills.
