Learn the skills ranked "most critical" by experienced team leaders
This seminar gets right down to business. It's a "here's what to do -- and how you do it" crash course for new team leaders.
We designed this seminar with input from veteran team leaders at organizations across the country. You'll explore the issues they told us were most critical in their own development.
Critical skills like these:
- Getting off on the right foot with a new team
- Making sure team meetings are worthwhile -- and not just time-wasting get-togethers
- Understanding the leader's role when conflicts erupt or there's infighting on your team
- Knowing the best places to invest your time for the biggest payback
- Keeping your team members focused and enthused -- especially in the early stages when everything's confusing
The upshot of all this …
You get a program packed with the leadership training you'll need to guide your team through its infancy to full maturity as an effective work unit.
Will you benefit from attending this course?
- Yes, if you're new to teams (or if a team is new to you)
- Yes, if you're a team leader still trapped in a manager's mentality
- Yes, if you're part of a team that's going nowhere, and nobody knows why
- Yes, if you feel the leadership skills that have served you so far have hit a plateau or aren't in tune with the times
- Yes, if all this talk about leading teams vs. managing people has you curious about what you should be doing differently
No matter what kind of team you lead, this course will help you get the most out of your people -- and discover what they expect from you in return.
You'll gain "how-tos" that are essential in today's team-driven workplace …
- How to develop trust and teamwork. Find out what it takes to get people who were put together to pull together.
- How to nurture team identity and commitment. Learn why the best teams invest so much time and energy on defining their purpose.
- How to help your team solve problems and make decisions. You'll see how to gradually step back and allow your team to reach its own conclusions and map its own actions.
- How to resolve conflicts and differences. See why it's so valuable to encourage open and honest debate -- and how to do it without causing harm or creating enemies.
- How to keep your team fresh and growing. Discover techniques that can motivate your team to take on bigger challenges and more responsibility as it matures.
- How to capitalize on the freedom that a well-run team creates for its leader. See how becoming an effective leader lets you focus more on the "big issues" facing your organization, and less on the daily matters.
Who should attend?
- Newly appointed leaders of any kind of team
