Team Building Management Skills:
Creating High-Trust, Peak-Performance Teams

Training Overview and Course Description

Team-building around trustAny championship athletic team will tell you that sustained peak performance is only possible in setting where there is deep trust within the team — trust in one another and trust in their coaches.

The same holds true in the business and corporate world. Top-performing organizations are invariably run by managers who are effective team-builders and who know how to infuse high levels of trust within their teams. Or to put it another way, can you imagine a high-performing organization where wholesale distrust prevails?

Winning organizations have learned to staff for capacity, organize for throughput, innovate for efficiency, and train for reliability, all within a robust atmosphere of trust..

This class on team-building takes managers through the process of positioning their teams for consistent superior performance. Included in the training are practical planning exercises for team-building and informative team evaluations.

The content and materials for this training is drawn from our proprietary LeaderTrack® Professional Development Series for Managers and Leaders.
