As a special registration bonus, you will receive a copy of Leading Teams: Setting the Stage for Great Performances

High-performing teams create value for organizations by achieving better results, in less time, using fewer resources. Teams that get the best results show initiative, see opportunities, overcome hurdles, leverage their resources, coordinate across functions, respond quickly to internal and external customer needs, and excel with their day-to-day responsibilities, as well as with unexpected challenges. In contrast, weaker teams struggle along, have more errors, waste resources, and take up more of the leaders's time with fewer results. Not surprisingly, organizations with high-performing teams have a significant competitive advantage that is difficult for other organizations to copy.

This engaging and interactive program will provide you with leadership strategies that help your teams do their best work and avoid common problems that can undermine team performance. Through self assessments, team activities, video cases, and other activities, you will learn what the most effective team leaders do differently than the least effective leaders, regardless of their industry, nationality, or level in the organization.
