Detailed Overview/Outline

Managers of groups of people – “teams,” “departments,” “divisions,” must lead the work group to be as productive as possible over the long run. This means the manager has to successfully juggle a number of interpersonal skills on a daily – sometimes minute-to-minute – basis.

This workshop will give you the opportunity to identify your natural “team manager” abilities and build the confidence to participate, lead, and succeed with your team.

The most important step in working effectively in groups is a solid start, so this one-day program emphasizes:

• The foundation of productive teams
• How to create an output-based team using values-based management skills
• The warning signs of when a team is going to self-destruct

Key Topics

• What to look for in team creation
• How a successful team looks and acts
• Setting team and individual expectations that are in line with the organization’s goals
• What teams can and cannot do
• Developing commitment
• Getting to the right attitude
• Developing opportunities for impact as a group leader
• Warning signs of teams that are disintegrating

Who Should Attend
Front line supervisors and managers; managers who want to build skills needed to move from management positions into leadership roles
