Team Management, Development and Leadership

Course review:

The role of teams in organisations is now recognised as a vital factor in meeting business goals and objectives. But simply bringing together a group of highly skilled people and then leaving them to deliver will not always generate the expected results. Teams must be subjected to essential leadership and development practices if they are to engage in ways that have the potential to produce powerful synergistic outcomes. Every team experiences its own unique journey, depending on the team members; the tasks and targets of the team and its working environment; apart from the calibre of management and leadership it is given. Even the same team with the same tasks will have a different journey second time around. "You can never step into a river in the same place twice"
