The Promise and Challenge of High-Performance Teams: Tuesday, October 22 from 4:00 - 5:00 PM
Hosted by IGEOS
Imagine creating a team where each member is fully engaged, motivated, excited about working with you and taking full responsibility for team success. Such high-performance teams are marked by mining clarity, a deep level of trust among team members and a willingness to support each other’s success. This one-hour session -- which is a glimpse of our three-day highly experiential workshop -- will briefly introduce a picture of what is required to succeed in working with others, the interferences that sabotage the best of intentions and efforts, and the mindset essential to be a high-performing team and team member.
