MANAGING TEAMS (2 days) Managing your team effectively and getting results Managing teams and effective team working are popular modern management concepts but what do they mean, and how are they achieved. Different working environments requiring different work styles and variety in human behaviour mean that what constitutes an effective team in one situation may not be the case in another. Managing people in these situations can be complex and demanding and yet it is success here that is the key to effective organisational performance. In this workshop we explore what managing an effective team actually means and how it can be achieved in practice. Given that in most work situations people need to interface with others, good team management is fundamental to organisational success. Understanding the human dynamics of teams and their potential for affecting organisational performance makes this a fundamental and essential skill for every manager.
