Leading Teams: A Real-Time Virtual Experience

Maximize team performance, collaboration and outcomes

Successfully influencing teams in the best of times takes skill. Leading teams through a crisis like the pandemic has tested leaders and their organizations as never before.

How do you build a high-trust culture? How do you rally team members around a common goal? How do you create an inclusive environment for all team members to express themselves fully and achieve organizational goals? And, how do you do this during a crisis and while working remotely?

These are some of the challenges Rotman's new Leading Teams program will address using research-based frameworks and interactive sessions with peers.

What you'll get:
