Teamwork & Leadership Skills
Effective teamworking and leadership is a prerequisite for sustainable competitive advantage. Great businesses have effective teams whose members understand team dynamics and resolve conflict – but how do you turn the theory into practice?
Problem
Today’s competitive environment requires employees to work collectively to deliver results yet employees are frequently overworked, stressed and forced to compete with each other. Competition by its nature creates conflicts of interest within organisations, giving rise to politics and aggression which reduces a company’s ability to compete effectively.
