Course Outline - Leading T.E.A.M.work

Leading T.E.A.M.work

Most of the time when you hear the term teamwork, you hear about a group of people who get together to complete a special project. This course is about creating a team environment with the people with whom you work each day. The difference is that the people you work with everyday may not be interdependent in their jobs. One thing is true - the team environment that you create will contribute to a productive and friendly workgroup.
