Being part of a self-directed work team requires flexibility, innovation, and an understanding of key attributes of each team member. Prior to deploying a newly formed team, it makes sense to train them and provide them with tools for effective self-management.


The following is a summary of what we will learn in this module:
    • Team effectiveness factors

    • How to assess staff skills and matching the right person to the right work assignments

    • Crafting goals that employees can aim for and achieve

    • Communicating goals and objectives to reduce misunderstandings and the potential for demotivation

    • Empowerment and accountability: Understanding the benefits of delegation

    • How to motivate team members who only put in the minimum effort required to do a job

    • Keeping team members on task, on time, and on budget

All employees that are assigned a team project could benefit from this module. The major objective is to create an understanding of how to work effectively on a team.
