Teamwork has been proven to create organizational synergy - where the group results are far greater than any individual could accomplish. It is the secret sauce for obtaining discretionary effort whereby individuals contribute more than they usually would to achieve results. Yet, getting people with different personalities and expectations to work towards a shared goal is not always easy.

This session is focused on tools and techniques to help build successful teams and motivate team members to achieve more than they could individually. Participants will leave with a strategy and action plan for building their own high-performance teams. Successfully incorporating remote workers into teams will also be covered.

Who should attend?

Anyone who manages teams or is creating teams to further their business enterprise.
