In today's flexible working model where employees work from home and the office, the ongoing challenges of creating the magical bond between team members can be elusive.
Moreover, it has become increasingly challenging, since we have been moving from the emphasis on social skills to technical and managerial skills. And as a result, the body of traditions and knowledge concerning the magic of teams have been lost.
Good teamwork is the ability to effectively collaborate with teammates, with the work, and with a common goal or purpose. According to the LinkedIn Learning 2020 Workplace Learning Report, collaboration skill is among the top five critical soft skills that organizations are hiring for and training for in 2020.
Based on world-renowned Patrick Lencioni's and Bruce Tuckman's work on team management, this uniquely blended team building presentation provides you with the much needed practical guidance on how to identify dysfunctional teams and put in place a process to build effective and collaborative teams in your organization.
