Leading your team
effectively
Advance Skill Building Workshop
(One full day)
September 19, 2024 in Zurich – English
Maximize
your team’s performance
In this workshop you will learn how to build and manage a high performing team.
Effective team performance is based on a clear understanding of the shared goals, strategies and work plans, along with the individual roles and responsibilities of team members. Equally important are interpersonal qualities of trust, communication and mutual accountability. These two perspectives determine a team’s ability to achieve and sustain high performance.
This team effectiveness workshop will help you develop a shared vision and understanding for a high-performing team, determine the critical elements and individual contributions that comprise this vision, and develop guiding plans or agreements to realize this vision in your own organization. It will also promote practice on key skills needed to address the challenges that arise in teams, such as appreciating individual differences, communicating collaboratively, and managing conflict.
