Advanced Team working



Teams appear everywhere in the workplace. They may not call themselves teams; they may use terms like task force, committee, group, or panel. But regardless of what they call themselves, the success of these groups depends on whether or not they learn to function as a team.

Effective teams are made up of effective members. Teams that accomplish little and have minimal impact are usually made up of individuals who are more concerned with their own performance or who do not understand what it takes for a team to succeed.

This course shows how to build advanced, high performance teams, from the team leader's perspective. Delegates will be provided with practical guidance in setting direction, targets, goals and purpose for a winning team and successfully cooperates within itself and without with stakeholders. We will also address what team leaders must do to ensure the team has confidence in them by monitoring their own management style and performance and how to monitor what’s happening within the team as they work to realise given objective(s).

Who should attend?

Anyone who has a stake in building successful teams.
