Virtual Event
Have you ever been a part of a great team? What about a 'sub-optimal' team? What was the difference between the two?
In the new world of work, teams are being used more than ever. Everyone is expected to collaborate effectively. But while it is easy to create a team and to tell people to work collaboratively, it is quite challenging to make it work. To crack the code on team effectiveness, we need to understand the Science of Teamwork!
Event Description:
In this interactive virtual event, we will learn what really drives Team Effectiveness and get a better grasp of the Science of Teamwork. Feel encouraged to bring questions about the teams you are involved in to anchor your learning to your reality!

Learning Outcomes:
- Recognize four common myths about teamwork you will want to avoid
