Session Chair:
Kelsey Amundson (Los Alamos National Lab)
Let’s face it: Being asked to lead a team can bring up nightmares of unproductive meetings and unpleasant confrontations. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We know amazing results can be achieved when individuals collaborate to solve problems.
In this workshop, we will work with several powerful tools to provide concrete action in different situations to build and lead a high performing team. We will address specific team scenarios centered around trust and effective communication. How can we build trust or re-build trust once it is broken? How should we work with others who are causing conflict within the team? What can we do when the team is struggling and we aren’t sure what to do?
You will leave with additional tools for your Leadership Toolkit that are focused on building trust and communicating effectively with yourself and others.
