Team Leadership that Works

Team Leadership That Works: Designing, Launching & Coaching Great Teams is a practical, hands-on program that equips leaders to create the conditions for great team performance. Based on a robust, evidence-based team leadership framework developed by Harvard scholar-practitioners, this program equips leaders with practical tools for designing, launching and coaching teams. The program can be use in a number of ways, including as a stand-alone program; as a blended learning component in leadership development programs; and as the centerpiece of group coaching programs with team leaders.

As our world and operating environments evolve and become more dynamic, so too do our approaches to leadership and teams also require evolution. This program is unique in that it emphasizes creating an environment or ecosystem that gives rise to a great team. Leaders can't make teams be great, but they can put in place the 6 Conditions (Real Team, Compelling Purpose, Right People, Sound Structure, Supportive Context, Team Coaching) that evidence shows accounts for 80% of a team's ultimate results.

The course is taught by four seasoned instructors with decades of experience leading teams and coaching team leaders in a wide range of sectors, all over the globe:
