Building Effective Teams

Leadership

Building and maintaining an effective work team demands an understanding and appreciation of individual differences, the general needs of team members, and the dynamics of the group process. It also requires an awareness of organizational reality, the goals of the team, and the goals and roles of individual team members.

This one-day overview is designed not only to create this level of awareness, but to go well beyond. Specific skills for effectively structuring, developing, and leading a team are explored. Predictable issues in team development are explored, and strategies for dealing effectively with the most likely issues are explored. Specific leadership roles and responsibilities are considered, the impact of different types of communication behaviors in team settings are explored, and typical dysfunctional team member behaviors are identified along with alternatives for dealing with such disruptions successfully.
