Most organizations use team-based processes to leverage individual strengths and to maximize productivity. Often, these teams have fairly complex reporting relationships and no formal leadership structure. The most productive teams are facilitated by skilled process managers who understand how to build teams and keep them productive for a defined time period.
This course supports skill development in creating effective, productive work teams, managing meetings, and getting things done while building long term, mutually beneficial relationships. Students learn in real-time how to select and develop a team by working in teams.
