Building and Managing High Performance Teams

Course Overview

There is no way to win without appreciating your team members’ unique strengths. Forgetting that teams are made of individuals with contrasting temperaments, talents, and skills is a sure-fire way to hire an unbalanced and ineffective workforce—and undercut the potential of your existing staff.
