As a leader, you’re responsible for developing the full potential of your team … for taking their talents to the next level of effectiveness for better results. But with the enormous number of management duties and problems you have to handle on a daily basis, team development often takes a back seat.

What obstacles are thwarting your team development efforts?
You know your team has potential, but how do you tap into it? How do you motivate complacent employees to improve and grow? To want to take more initiative and shoulder more responsibility? What if you don’t have enough talent on your team – and have to work with what you’ve got? And how would you know where to even start to tackle these issues when your strengths aren’t in “people development?”

This is training with the real-world solutions you need
Answers to these tough leadership dilemmas, and solutions to all your team development challenges, are waiting for you at The Leader’s Guide to Team Development. This intensive two-day program offers you the latest leadership tools, techniques, and strategies for developing the skills and talents of each and every team member – for a high-performance team that gets phenomenal results! What’s more, you’ll learn how to instill the desire for continual improvement so your team grows even stronger over time.

You can’t develop ‘em if you don’t understand ‘em – we’ll show you how!
You can’t develop people you don’t really understand. That’s why we’ve devoted an entire section of this training to identifying and bringing out the best in different personality types and generational groups. You’ll find out how to work with new employees who come in feeling entitled … team members who aren’t interested in taking on more responsibility … people who lack drive and initiative … and much, much more.

Discover how to add depth to a shallow talent pool
We’ll also show you proven methods for uncovering potential in what may appear to be a shallow talent pool – a challenge more and more leaders face as they’re expected to meet organizational goals with fewer resources. Learn how other successful leaders have overcome this major obstacle to team development, even when there’s no way they could hire additional staff.

Learn how to turn “potential” into polished talent
An important focus of this unique program is how to move beyond simply harnessing your existing team talent. Learn how to help your team members grow their professional skills and expand their talents for continual team improvement – and a stronger team structure. You’ll discover how to spot “high potentials” and develop them into high achievers who’re eager to strive for the next level of effectiveness.

Instill the desire to improve in those satisfied with the status quo
Another pressing team development issue this course addresses: team complacency. If you’re like most leaders, you have some team members who’ve burrowed into their comfort zones and are content with the status quo. We’ll show you fresh approaches for instilling the desire for continual improvement and professional growth. Find out how to reignite the spark within them – for a transformation that will amaze you!

Understand how your leadership style impacts team development
For better or worse, your leadership style impacts your ability to develop your team and take team members’ skills beyond where they are currently. This training program includes the Leadership Style Analysis Assessment, a tool that will help you identify your strengths and pinpoint areas that need improvement. Find out if your leadership style actually may be sabotaging the team development process – and how you can correct it.

Learn proactive steps that make all the difference in your team’s results
The Leader’s Guide to Team Development isn’t just about developing your team; it’s about developing yourself as a stronger leader. You’ll learn proactive steps you can take – from active listening to raising accountability to empowering team members to take more initiative – that will make all the difference in the results you get from now on.

Gain insight from real-world team development case studies
From real-world case studies your expert trainer will discuss, you’ll gain insight into how other organizations have successfully developed powerhouse work teams. You’ll return to work armed with dozens of team development ideas, techniques and strategies you can implement immediately to jump-start your team development process.
