Develop High-Performing Teams: Turning Team Sabotage into Team Strength

We've all seen reality shows like Survivor and The Amazing Race in which one team pits itself against the others to win the ultimate prize. Everyone is out for themselves.

We've also seen this trend occur among business teams - even when the members are supposed to be working for the collective good of the organization. For a variety of reasons - whether it be fear, misunderstanding, territorialism or arrogance - performance suffers because people perceive they have something to lose by sharing too much. As a result, many businesses never experience the powerful results that true collaboration can bring.

A cooperative approach must begin at the top. In this session, you'll learn how to create a corporate culture that rewards collaboration, not segregation. You'll also discover how to build high-performing teams that are enthusiastic, engaged and committed to the organization's goals.

• Build a strong foundation for successful teams.
• Overcome the most common mistakes that leaders and team members make that can sabotage their success.
