Foundation for Leading Teams - Leading Effective Teams 1

In a team environment, leaders must build a sense of team as they stimulate collaboration and group decision making in their departments. In addition, team leaders are often expected to involve employees from different parts and levels of the organization in projects and teamwork without having direct authority over team members. Participants in this program discuss how to lay the groundwork for successful teams while identifying the leadership skills and behaviors needed to create a positive team environment.

This is the first of five programs in the Leading Effective Teams Certificate Series.
