Is your organization missing out on the power of teams? Successful teams have a positive effect on employee engagement and a direct impact on how your organization meets its strategic goals. In a team environment, leaders must build a sense of team as they stimulate collaboration and group decision making in their departments. In addition, team leaders are often expected to involve employees from different parts and levels of the organization in projects and teamwork even when they do not have direct authority over team members. These cross-functional teams can be the driving force for change and improvement in your business. Participants in this program discuss how to lay the groundwork for successful teams while identifying the leadership skills and behaviors needed to create change in a positive team environment.
