Accelerated Team Building for Project Managers

Whether it be business, sports, healthcare, or any endeavor with multiple stakeholders, teamwork is essential to success. When every member of a team shares a vision and is being optimized to match their skills, good things happen. However, creating a unified, cohesive team isn’t always easy. People are people. They aren’t always on the same page, they argue, they aren’t always in roles that best fit their skills. As a project manager, this conflict and inefficiency hampers your ability to complete a successful project on time and on budget.

This course will teach you how to get new teams up and running quickly to facilitate short-term wins and long-term success.
