Priority Management South Africa (Pty) Ltd : Working Smart Teams

Course Name:
Working Smart Teams

Course Description:
At some point, every team feels a disconnect in collaboration and communication, but if it’s a lot of the time, then you and your team need a road map to improve the process and get better results.

A sports coach will try to merge individual skills and strengths to show players that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When a person’s focus changes from ‘individual behaviours’ to ‘contribution to a goal’, then anything is possible.

Whether you’re a department, loosely knit work group or existing team, this workshop will take you through an important set of processes and tools to develop essential team skills.
