Turn A Group Into A Team
“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” — Michael Jordan
Do you have a team? Or, just a group of employees?
Every team is a group, but not every group is a TEAM. For many organizations they gather a group of players, assign a task, and do very little to turn that group into a high functioning team—one that can be successful and acheive and excede the goals of the organization. The components necessary to create a great team are that the players must be focused on a unified mission and that the members of this group must develop TRUST in each other and the team as a whole. This course provides the tools you need to turn any group into a high performing team.
