Building a successful, high performance team is about more than finding a group of people with the right mix of professional skills. Hiring the right people is the most important part of building a strong team, of course, and delegating to give people more autonomy is a powerful motivator.

But managing a team is not that simple. Leaders have to play a far more hands-on role to make sure the group works well together and remains focused on the right priorities. In this dynamic one-day training course, you will learn how to build effective, high performance teams from the ground up and then manage everyone’s efforts to maximize results.

What you will learn:

  • Design a Successful Blueprint for Your High Performance Team
  • Build a Strong Foundation
  • Construct a Solid Framework
  • Build Bridges to Better Communication
  • Ensure Mutual Trust and Respect

Who should attend:

  • Business professionals, including team leaders, managers, directors and others who want to enhance their team building and leadership skills.
**This class will be in-person. A virtual option will not be available.
