Teams are dysfunctional, whether we like to admit it or not. The quicker a leader realizes this fact the faster they can work to remedy the situation and transform their team into a successful, forward-facing, vision and purpose-driven, cohesive unit. In this session, we explore the major dysfunctions of a team by focusing on the individuals who comprise the whole, learn how to recognize when a team might be in trouble, and identify specific, tangible actions a leader and manager can take to build successful teams, whether those teams are already working together or are just being selected.
