Building teams is an essential role for managers. It is an easy thing to talk about but is difficult to accomplish, however, there is an established process that facilitates this part of the manager’s role and accelerates the learning curve for building team skills and collaboration.

This Masterclass will look at theory, models and practice to offer different perspectives on how to develop effective teams. This will include exploring how teams form and develop and understanding the skills of influencing and communicating to improve engagement.
