Leading High-Performing Teams
Program Details
About This Program
This highly interactive course will give you the tools and resources needed to lead a high-performing team. Through a series of experiential exercises, you’ll learn how to create and lead a team that drives business results, regardless of whether the team is in-person, virtual, or hybrid.
Experience
Beginning with an exploration of what makes high-performing teams exceptional, participants will learn to identify individual and group behaviors critical to a team's success. By identifying your own style of team leadership, you will discover how to maximize your strengths and mitigate potential challenges. You’ll also learn to mediate conflict among team members and promote skillful communication that allows for open, honest, and trust-building dialogue. You will explore the unique dynamics of cross-functional teams and learn how to set the stage for high-performance collaboration and accountability. Finally, as the level of team performance accelerates, you will learn how to lead through change by creating a flexible team environment, where pivoting is expected and embraced.
Participants may choose to attend remotely via Zoom. This option can be selected in the registration process.
