A team is more effective than a group of loners. Often the ‘team’ is more than the figment of the manager’s imagination. Team Development and managing a team requires special skills.

Overview
A team is not merely a group of people with the name ‘team.’ Teams are usually more productive and effective than a group of ‘loners.’ They complement each other, support each other and are creative. Teams may be just for one project or it may be a departmental team. In managing one-to-one, the manager/team leader is always 50% of the relationship. In managing a team new skills are required as the majority of the relationships will not involve the manager.

Teams can take a long time to evolve. They may evolve ‘rules of operation’ which impairs success. In the modern fast-changing environment we need to create effective teams quickly with the ‘rules of operation’ to allow and encourage success.

In this practical and intensive course, participants will learn the key skills and concepts required to create effective teams quickly.

Who Should Attend
Anyone who is responsible for a team of people.

Duration
1 Day
