Creating High Performance Teams

Overview

In a competitive environment characterised by rapid changes, broadening spans of responsibility, indirect reporting, and increasing quality standards, many corporations view teams as the primary framework for carrying out their organisational strategy. Teams allow companies to maximise employees' expertise, producing quality decisions and uncovering innovative solutions.

One problem faced by most organisations that use teams is that the managers who are responsible for the teams lack the skills and experience necessary to influence them. Teams need certain skills and attitudes to be successful. Through high participant involvement and the use of real company issues, Creating High Performance Teamshelps managers guide and develop the teams for which they are responsible.

Aims

Creating High Performance Teams provides managers and supervisors with one-to-one group skills so they can effectively manage and influence work-unit performance. The programme's format is unique; while the course develops participants' knowledge, attitude, and skill base, it becomes, in essence, a guide for leadership skills when participants return to their work units.
