About this Program
High-performing work teams are essential to organisational effectiveness. Creating and sustaining a high-performing team requires combined effort, an understanding of each other, structured ways of working and exceptional leadership.
This workshop looks at high-performing team characteristics and examines the role of psychological safety within teams. Utilising the DISC Profile model, we explore how to build a high-performing, effective team where the unique talents and attributes of all members are harnessed, leveraged and aligned to achieve organisational outcomes.
All People Tank programs are designed to be practical, interactive and immediately applicable to the workplace, with opportunities for reflection, discussion and real-world application.
