Compassionate Teamwork and Groups

Today’s leaders must be skilled in both communicating with diverse groups and using communication to maintain effective teams to ensure organizational succeed, both on the ground and virtually. Critically, leaders, teams and groups must cultivate and deploy compassion to facilitate cohesion, camaraderie and esprit de corp.

Team based topics include addressing technical and non-technical audiences using presentations, interpersonal skills, and writing skills.
Team development instruction focuses on managing teams, identifying and understanding the leadership role and stages of development, the importance of shared leadership, product teams, and team decision-making.
