Team Building   

Good teamwork requires more than a group of people who like each other. Good teamwork requires strong, positive leadership, clear direction, and a common goal that the whole team desires to achieve. If you are a leader who desires to improve the current level of performance in your team, this course will give you the tools you need to achieve new levels of success!

Topics will include: What it Means to Have a High-Performing Team; Leading High-Performance Teams; Why Teams Fail to Perform; Best Practices for Building High-Performance Teams; Evaluating Team Performance; Drafting Your Performance Improvement Plan of Action

This 2-hour program is for front line to mid-level management, team leads, supervisors, shift managers and other leaders not serving in senior level or executive roles. In this program participants will learn:

• The role of trust in work environments
• How to determine if your team lacks trust
• How to build trust on a team with employees and new hires

Delivering feedback correctly can be more challenging than it seems. Leaders must balance honesty with sensitivity, ensuring the message is received without causing defensiveness or discouragement. Additionally, they must navigate their own discomfort and potential biases to provide feedback that is fair and impactful. Staff members face similar challenges, with the added pressure of potentially upsetting their managers. In this session, participants will learn the components of effective feedback and practice how to share their opinions effectively, both as leaders and staff.

Team leaders, supervisors and other mid-range managers can sometimes suffer from “middle child” syndrome. They do not get the consideration given to individual contributors because they are categorized as leaders.  But they do not get the respect, deference, and resources that executives receive, because they are not executives. 

So how does one achieve performance goals and juggle the administrative tasks required for middle management success, without the weight of executive authority or direct impact on production?

In this course, we will discuss what it takes to be an effective middle manager and reveal best practices to help you position yourself and your team for success.

 

Topics will include:

• What it means to be a middle manager
• Positioning your team for success
• Managing for performance
