Building Highly Effective Teams  

What You’ll Learn

Teams are all around us: sports teams, project teams, and work teams. While some succeed, many do not. But why? If we have the talent, we know the mission, and we have realistic time frames, our teams should be successful. Participants in this interactive course will learn and experience key skills and factors for team success.

In module 1, participants will discuss when a team is an effective solution to resolving a problem. What is a team and how do they work? During this highly interactive course, you will learn tools to help make you an effective team player. You will discover the six hidden traps and experience the six crucial success factors.

In module 2, participants will discuss what challenges to be aware of when developing a team. Learn how to skillfully navigate dysfunctional team behavior and stay focused on achieving the goal of the team. This high-level, interactive course is geared toward the experienced insurance professional who wants to learn how to develop more highly effective teams.
