Course Description: 

Are you thinking about pursuing a leadership role? Did you know that your leadership style and the quality of team communication have a huge impact on motivation and performance? That team dynamics can either become an obstacle or lead to a success story. Performance and results depend on the quality of teamwork, on established communication and cooperation structures and on effective task management. And last but not least on your leadership qualities and ability to integrate and get every team member aboard. 

In this workshop you will reflect on your own role, attitude and strengths and learn how to implement effective tools right from the beginning in order to save you from common pitfalls. The work-shop provides you with relevant leadership models and instruments to be considered. You will get to know basic aspects of team dynamics and useful meeting structures, also for hybrid teams. 

Task management activities will be complimented by useful tools for leading yourself.
