An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Leading High Performing Teams
The Skills to Create a Resilient, Reliable and Responsive Team
Course Introduction
A lot of focus is put on leadership development when in reality the leader is just one person, the real driving force behind a leader’s success is their team. A team operating effectively as a single unit will always outperform the best individual operating on their own. More importantly, no matter how knowledgeable and competent individual members of team may be, a dysfunctional team will undermine organisational goals, drain morale and waste effort.
With the increased commercial pressures and target driven cultures many leaders are now considering how to get the highest levels of performance from their people. The single most important factor in driving effective teamwork and team engagement is the behavior and style of the leader. This Leading High Performing Teams training course explains how to harness the team’s potential, and introduces techniques for moving the team to peak performance. This training course is highly interactive and participants are expected to discuss their unique situation as well as practicing the tools they are learning.
