LEAD Series: Building a Culture of Teamwork Presented by Texas MBA & Texas MSTC

Thursday, May 23, 2019 (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM) (CDT)

Description

Speaker Series is now LEAD Series! Now you can look forward to ongoing professional development, community and civic engagement, and personal growth opportunities throughout the year.

Managing a team is hard enough without having to manage the emotions and competing agendas of different groups of people, but the success and failure of an organization often depends on the level of cooperation and culture of teamwork. In this collaborative discussion, attendees will learn how to get everyone on the same page to achieve team success through identifying talent, fostering creativity, providing growth opportunities, and establishing accountability.

Key takeaways:

  • How to LEAP through meetings to find solutions for work issues – Understand the LEAP approach (listen, empathize, agree, and partner) for improved communication to overcome workplace challenges, help foster cooperation, and make each member of the team feel valued.
  • The Benefits of Providing Timely Feedback – Constructive criticism is necessary for anyone to realize their true potential. Learn the secrets of providing productive feedback that makes your team feel supported rather than punished.
  • Creating Healthy Soil – A study tree that can withstand the elements will almost always have roots that run deep. Much like the tree, your organization is rooted in its core principles and values. Discover how to enrich your business’ soil so that it can bloom for years to come.
