Description :

Learn to grow great collaboration and performance by creating the enabling organizational context and leading the group dynamics.

This training gives a comprehensive demystified understanding of Teamwork, covering the organizational enablers, interaction, group dynamics, process coaching, and working with resistance. It gives research-based and time-tested advice on what to do in practical situations.

Teamwork happens best in stable small teams. Teamwork skills enable great collaboration and performance also in other organizational units like communities, projects, and workgroups. From the organizational perspective, teamwork is the only antidote for bureaucracy. More background at https://gosei.fi/teamwork/
