Learn to guide teams from initial formation to peak performance in complex and evolving organizational contexts.

Drawing on Patrick Lencioni’s The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, you'll examine common behaviors and barriers that undermine team effectiveness and learn practical strategies to build stronger collaboration.

Emphasis is placed on creating trust, fostering healthy communication, and encouraging productive—rather than personal—conflict so teams can solve problems openly and effectively. Through applied examples and real-world scenarios, you'll develop tools to help teams navigate growth, change, and uncertainty.

Participants will also complete short reflections outside of class to deepen learning and apply concepts to their own team environments.

• Recognize the stages of team development and how to guide a team toward sustained performance
