Leading High-Performing Teams

There is a significant difference between working “in” the team and working “on” the team. While it is important for leaders to be keenly aware of how work happens and that individuals are working collectively, it is critical for those leaders to be able to tap into potential to accelerate impact and excellence.  
 
This program will explore the complexities of internal and external team dynamics and identify proven approaches for successfully leading high-performing teams. It offers an assessment of team health and an analysis of the key elements of high performing teams: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability and results.

This two-day workshop provides participants with the opportunity to practice the mindsets and behaviors that effectively create executive presence. They will learn how competence, image, presentation and feedback affect versatility, a key ingredient for presence, while refining the steps to effectuate maximum influence as executive.
