About Leading High Performance Teams
This module guides you through the core aspects of managing a group of people to excel and to achieve high performance.
You will learn specifically about groups of people that need to work as a real team to produce results that could not be achieved through individuals working alone.
You will also uncover the fundamentals of teams and the characteristics of High-Performing Teams before forensically examining how we need to see teams as ‘living systems’ in order to truly understand them.
Following on from this, how we can diagnose a team’s current system (it’s norm’s and behaviours) and how we can build a team system that can move towards High-Performance and then maintain that system will be uncovered.
