What will I learn?
The biggest stumbling blocks that stand in the way of a successful team, are addressed in this course. You'll learn about the following elements:

• mission and vision
• goals
• roles and tasks
• procedures
• personal relationships
• the environment
• team development
• team effectiveness

It's important to have a plan for the future, an ultimate target, to make sure the members of the team are all headed in the same direction. An inspiring mission and vision are the driving forces behind a team. They're essential if you want commitment; they are what makes or breaks the team. To achieve the mission and vision, goals are set. Tangible, measurable goals that the entire team agrees to. To prevent conflict, it's essential that the roles and tasks within a team are clear. Clear procedures ensure that the team can effectively make decisions and follow them through. When team members trust, help, respect, and feel comfortable with each other, this has a positive influence on the way they work together. But perhaps you're not used to looking at a team this way? Or maybe you're wondering if a team like that would be a good fit for your organization? Well, there's only one way to find out. Take what is useful to you. This teamwork training will help you build a strong, close-knit team.

What will I do?
We often think that most problems within teams arise because we don't like someone or don't understand each other. Good news! That's usually not where the problem lies. So... what else could be the cause? Well, there's been plenty of research done on this, and you'll be working on this during this learning journey. You'll get started with the issue of how team conflicts arise and what you can do about it. It goes without saying that what people think of each other does affect the team. In fact, their opinions can be a source of conflict. It's fascinating to look at this from the outside, but what if you're right in the middle of it? As you can see, things can go wrong in many areas, but what's the exact cause of issues within a team?
