Think about the first work team you were on. You probably discovered that each person had a unique way of doing things, and that those differences could cause confusion, stagnation or frustration. Only when people have a framework to make sense of their differences can they learn what to expect from others and the best way to achieve team goals. In this webinar we will work through the most common challenges teams face: motivation, conflict and communication. Participants learn simple, intuitive ways to make lasting improvements in a team's effectiveness.
