COR 526 - Building Effective Teams
Course Description
When building an effective team, it not just about finding a group of people with the right skill sets. It requires a keen understanding of people, their strengths, and an awareness of how each team member contributes to the overall team goal. Uncover how to navigate the many factors that can challenge and affect team performance.
Explore the tactics required to recognize the strengths and personalities of existing team members and identify strategies to create or maintain an effective team dynamic. It takes a great deal of skill to tell people that their work is not up to expectations - in a way that the person remains motivated, corrects the errors and works hard to improve. During this course, participants will take part in group discussion, individual exercises and self-reflection.
