To lead, we must create teams. A leadership team offers a structured way to work together interdependently and generate capacity that is more than the sum of the individuals who make up the team.
Many of us also have experiences being part of teams that have not worked well – teams that are divided, where we’re not holding each other accountable, where people stop showing up.
How do we create effective teams? Not just create, but sustain and grow them?
Join us on July 1st @ 12pm ET for a skill practice session to strengthen your skills to build effective teams that can grow both individual and collective capacity, and enable us to achieve our goals.
To launch an effective team, we need a shared purpose, clear and interdependent roles, and explicit norms. For this session, we will focus on the last two elements – roles and norms – through reflections and practice.
Key Learning Points
Learning Objectives:
- To develop an understanding of the core practices of successful leadership teams
- To reflect on establishing – and re-establishing – healthy and intentional norms
- To practice clarifying and deciding team roles and responsibilities that are clear, purposeful, and meaningful
