Course Description
Why do many organizations and managers struggle when it comes to cultivating a culture of team work?
The answer is simple and the solution is something you can control: The secret to successful team building lies with the very managers and leaders who want their employees to function as a team.
The groundwork for teambuilding must start with leadership. After all, employees learn how to act and form opinions about what behaviors are rewarded within the organization based on what they see their leaders doing, not by what they are told to do. But not every supervisor knows or can act on this information.
Before supervisors can hope to improve teamwork within their organizations, they must first lay the groundwork of cultivating a culture that is conducive to true team functioning. After all, employees learn about what behaviors are valued within their companies by observing the actions of those who are given
formal positions of authority. Thus, effective leaders are well served to remember that what they do sends much more of a message than what they say or what they tell employees to do.
