Objective & Outcomes
Most work we do these days is in teams. Yet we often find ourselves thrown together without a lot of guidance around ways to organize, collaborate and create successful outcomes. In this course, you will learn teaming methods and best practices by working on several teams. Through research and collaborative activities, teams will arrive at learnings that will inform their best practice playbooks.
At the conclusion of this course you will:
- Understand high performance team behaviors and how to leverage them
- Form teams with a clear vision and purpose
