Teamwork: Creating and Sustaining Collaborative Working Relationships
May 23, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
$60
Teamwork has become a buzz word in all professional worlds. The importance of developing and sustaining collective team projects and activities drives the work in the nonprofit world. Often we believe we are forging ahead as a team, until it’s time to access our work or evaluate our success and that is when we begin to understand the difference between a team and a staff of “independent dynamic agents”. The focus of this workshop will be the work of a team leader in fostering and sustaining a true team, assessing our perceptions versus the reality of teamwork, and acquiring the skill set to develop, evaluate and implement a team approach in work.
