Leadership Skills to Build High Performance Teams

It is the people that perform. Even the best of resources fail to produce desired results if people are not working as a team, are not aligned, are not connected with the goal, mission and vision of the company or the organisation. People come from different backgrounds, different cultures and with different attitudes and orientation. It is important to shape their ambition and energy towards the common and larger goals of the organisation so they can act in unison and act as a team.

People have the potential. Unleashing that potential is the key. Leaders must create conditions for competence to come out. Leaders must provide enabling environment for people to explore and innovate, must arrange resources to realize their full potential and power. They must ensure that their people have the confidence and the courage to take decisions, risks and responsibility. This is what leadership is all about.

This course aims at equipping the middle and senior level managers/ leaders with the ability to coach, mentor and nurture their people to create an effective team and unleash their full potential so that they become high performers.
