Introduction
Much emphasis is placed on leadership development when, in reality, the leader is only one person; the true driving force behind a leader's success is their team. More importantly, regardless of how knowledgeable and competent individual team members are, a dysfunctional team will undermine organizational goals, drain morale, and waste effort.
With increased commercial pressures and target-driven cultures, many leaders are now considering how to get the best out of their employees. The leader's behavior and style are the single most important factors in driving effective teamwork and team engagement. This Leading High Performing Teams training seminar explains how to maximize the potential of the team and introduces techniques for achieving peak performance.
This course is highly interactive and participants are expected to discuss their unique situation as well as practice the tools they are learning.
Highlights include:
Discovering the link between the leader’s behavior and team performance
Finding new ways to measure and manage performance
Unique techniques to truly tap into motivation
