- People-centric leadership
Overview
We face challenges and problems to solve in our everyday tasks at work. However, we don’t have to solve those problems on our own. We may not recognize it, but we are surrounded by people that can help us achieve success. In this session, we will discuss the power of undercover teamwork! We will define who our secret TEAMs are and how they can help us overcome any challenge that comes across our desk. Our TEAM will change as the challenges change, not just at work but in our personal lives as well. Determine who to point out and say, “You are on my TEAM” from the lessons learned, and you will recognize the power of undercover teamwork!
Key learning objectives:
- Defining TEAM
- Who is on your TEAM?
