Leadership & Team Effectiveness: A PMISV Workshop

Turn Common Sense into Common Practice

Highly effective teams can accomplish what would be difficult, or impossible, for one person acting alone. Imagine a single human being building the entire interstate highway system, or writing all of the books in your local library. Impossible! We collaborate with others to accomplish goals that only a group of people can achieve. A group, however, is not the same as a team, and there are many barriers to fully unleashing “group genius.” Even working with just one other person can be challenging. The complexity of teamwork rises exponentially. 

Workshop Objectives 

• Learn the top causes for failure in teams globally and how to overcome them.
• Experience the difference between leadership and management.
• Practice leading through A.C.T.—actions, communication, thinking—without regard to position or title.
• Apply your learnings and insights to your daily work.

Speaker: Kimberly Wiefling, founder of Wiefling Consulting and cofounder of Silicon Valley Alliances.
