Workshop Description
We are all involved in team activities, formally and informally, every day. Those times that we are actively cognizant of our role and responsibilities, the role and responsibilities of other team members, and a shared understanding of the expected outcomes, the greater likelihood exists that we, as a group or team, will achieve what we have set out to do. This is particularly true when you are a member of a leadership team, working toward organizational objectives, and success seems to elude you. Who are the most effective team members; "individual contributors" or "individualists"? Can teams of highly motivated leaders achieve high performance? This Workshop will help build an understanding of what contributes to high performance team success and show participants how they can contribute the most to their own and team success.
Workshop Objectives
As a result of this program, participants will be able to:
- Describe the characteristics and attributes of a high-performing team
- Describe the different types of teams in their organization and their unique characteristics
- Describe how their organization's social architecture contributes to success as well as failure of teams
