Managing Teams Effectively

The normalization of hybrid teams, the introduction of technology into team dynamics, and the growing complexity of work means that your ability to work in a high-performing team environment has grown considerably. But teamwork doesn’t just happen — good teams require managers who have vision and practiced skills. Leading teams today requires a mastery of some basic tenets of team management and the ability to improvise on those basic tenets when the circumstances require it.

In this program you will learn to: set team goals, clarify work processes requiring team interactions, assign decision rights to team members, empower and delegate, provide team feedback, manage group dynamics, build trust among team members, build a productive team culture, and address team disagreement and conflict.

Very few organizations operate today with individuals doing singularly individual work. Work is done by teams of people. So, management of teams is a meta-skill no organization can take for granted. Once a manager becomes a proficient team leader, and then graduates to mastering team leadership, organizations reap benefits in the trifecta of performance, productivity, and engagement.
