Harmonious and Effective Team Dynamics

Instructor: Laval Martin

Well-functioning teams are effective, with a clear vision and shared objectives that promote the growth and wellbeing of each team member. As we appreciate the key drivers of individuals making up complex groups, we are able to minimize conflict in those structures and unlock both opportunities and higher levels of proficiency. Seeing the value of these groups, we can better understand how a team fits within larger organizations and how this extends outwards with wider external connections.

Harmonious and Effective Team Dynamics will explore existing issues within participant teams, provide tactics that promote empathy and understanding in group environments, and suggest ways to re-orient your teams to establish a vision that drives results. The training will explore the impact of overlapping values at the individual and group levels, along with how this intersects with the values of larger organizations. Finally, the training will discuss specific strategies and skills such as raising difficult topics and how to have challenging conversations leading to positive outcomes.
