Team-Building Series Certificate Program

From: Training and Development

Team-Building Series
James Madison University often relies on the work of small teams. Anyone, not just supervisors, can be called upon to serve as a team leader. But, without the necessary skills, expertise and dedication of a good leader, the team can run into trouble. Miscommunication, unresolved conflict and a lack of direction can result in a team relying on one or two members, leaving others uninvolved and/or under-contributing.

This series will address the four specific areas of Fran Rees' L.E.A.D. model of team leadership:
L - Lead with a clear purpose
E - Empower people to participate
A - Aim for buy-in
D - Direct the process

Participants may choose to attend any or all of the sessions available.

NOTICE: Participants will receive a certificate of completion if they attend all sessions. The learning associated with this certificate program depends on your attendance and participation with others in the workshop. As a result, you must attend all sessions to receive the certificate.
