Building successful teams is often difficult because leaders usually inherit existing team members with different personalities and varying skill levels. Leaders must first build trust which will lead to the ability to influence others. Knowing oneself is the foundation to creating a culture where team members can thrive collectively and as individuals. In this half-day session, leaders will learn to identify the root causes of team dysfunction. They will also assess how they can adapt their leadership style to build a better team. This fast-paced, interactive session will include a leadership self-assessment as well as a step-by-step model that can be used for continuous improvement. Leaders will also learn the most effective ways to work with recalcitrant and unskilled team members. (Session 3 in a 6-part series)
