2016 - Webinar On Building and Leading High-Performance Teams

Overview:
There are significant advantages to working in teams: a variety of experience, more creativity, higher commitment to the decision, synergy, distribution of work load, and it's simply more fun. Learning to improve your communication skills will help you build and lead your team successfully.
The team morale will improve immediately and you will be motivated to tackle those difficult tasks together. A notable bonus for your improved communication will be that others will improve too, your stress will go down, and your productivity will go up.
Why should you attend: Putting people around a table in the same room doesn't build a successful team. It takes strategy and skill. Successful teams accomplish more together, build upon the momentum in the room and work through challenges in a way that builds loyalty.
