Most people’s work depends on the skills and competence of others around them. Effective teams are made up of people whose work supports the larger goals and mission of their unit, department, and organization. In this workshop we will discuss translating mission and values into expectations and tasks, strategies for cultivating team buy-in, and strategies for constructive feedback when team needs and expectations aren’t met. This session will be applicable to team members at all levels of their department or organization. This session is intended for people with any level of experience working in teams. This session will involve short lectures, interactive discussions via breakouts and other small group discussion. There are no pre-activities.
