Create a high-performing Team – Part I

The goal of this part of your studies is to ensure that you truly absorbed the materials taught during the class or your self-study sessions. Following along with the group led by a professional instructor is one thing. Studying the material on your own is a totally different game.

Therefore, throughout this section, you will have to go over everything you have already seen during the course, but this time, on your own. 

First, here are a few questions for you to think about and answer: 

 In your current workplace, have you been involved in putting together a team? If yes, what was your approach?

Now, after you took the course or worked through your material, what do you think about the approach used for creating a team at your current workplace? 

Do you feel that now you have learned a better way of creating a high-performing team? If yes, what would you do differently?

Read/skim through the following section in your learning materials:

Lesson 1, Creating a High-Performing Team.
