Anyone who works in an organization or has responsibility for leading a team understands the frustration caused by office politics, silos, and team dysfunction. Unfortunately, many solutions to these challenges are temporary and touchy-feely, if not completely ineffective. Best-selling author and leadership guru, Patrick Lencioni set out to change this. He has created a powerful model and actionable steps that can be used to overcome these common hurdles so as to build and lead a cohesive, effective team.
Drawing from his New York Times, BusinessWeek and Wall Street Journal best-seller, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, and his just released book, Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars, Lencioni will provide participants with tools, exercises, and real-world examples to learn from. In addition he will answer questions that all high performance teams answer: Are we really a team? How are we currently performing? Are we prepared to invest the time and energy required to be a great team? What are we committing to do differently to improve our performance as a team?
Participants in this program will learn:
- Assess their team's strengths and weaknesses
- Overcome team dysfunctions, damaging turf wars, and destructive politics
- Build positive, trusting relationships that are key to high performance teams
- Lead their team to greater performance and productivity
