Organizational work teams succeed because of a deliberate style of leadership that promotes team thinking, collective problem solving and decision making, and cooperative involvement. But getting to that level of teamwork is no easy task! This skill-building program will teach your employees how to make teams work, whether they’re forming a new team or leading an established group.

Participants will examine group dynamics, team processes and the core values of self-directed work teams. They’ll gain insight from the self-assessment What Kind of Team Leader Are You? and get a better understanding of their leadership role in a team setting. Team empowerment, communication, group decision making and problem solving will also be covered, as well as strategies for working with an uncooperative team member.

In addition, employees will learn how to ratchet up the return on investment of team meetings so they’re productive work sessions instead of a waste of everyone’s time. In the final training module, they’ll apply their newfound knowledge to develop a personal action plan for establishing and maintaining an effective work team.
