.         Are you finding the challenge of leading a team to be more
challenging than you thought? 

.         Are you troubled with unwanted team member behaviors and
attitudes? 

.         Are some team members acting more like "Lone Rangers" than you'd
like them too? 

.         Do you believe that your teams could be more productive and
efficient? 

.         Have they done better in the past? Is the quality of work not what
it used to be? 

This workshop will answer many of the questions you have about successfully
leading teams while dispelling myths and other bad information you have
received from others. Like many other facets of leadership, leading your
team members requires you to have a plan or model to follow and to know the
appropriate steps to take. That's just one way this workshop can help you!

Take this mini-assessment and determine if this workshop can help you to
become a better leader of your teams: 

.         Do you feel like you are struggling as a leader of a team? 

.         Are you looking for a model of teams to lead your people with? 

.         Do you need help with "communicating effectively" to your team
members? 

.         Would you like to be able to empower the team members to manage
themselves effectively? 

If you answered "yes" to one or more of the questions, then this workshop
will help you to lead more productive and efficient teams in your
workplace...without feeling like a babysitter, care taker or dictator. 

Workshop Description: This fun and interactive workshop will include the use
of both individual and group exercises; a Daily Interactions assessment,
video based learning, group discussions and lecture. Attendees will learn
and incorporate a model of team development that can be applied immediately
in their workplace.
