task and people in a team

outline

If a team is to be successful, effective and achieve its performance goals it is vital that a right balance is achieved most of the time between the Task aspects and the People aspects.

The course graphically demonstrates how many teams fail to achieve because of neglect of one, other or both of these areas. It coaches individuals in how how to recognise when it is important to pay more attention to one area than to the other and how to gain competitive advantage by taking care of both.
