• In what ways / to what extent is it best to build effective and high performance teams throughout the organization and learning institution?

Global health organizations and medical / public health learning institutions understand that the success of their business largely relies on many critical factors.  Some of which include the synergy and performance of their workforce and the various working teams.  Successful organizations and corporations more than ever in a global market require the “know-how” to build long lasting diverse teams.  Effective teamwork contributes considerably to the overall improved productivity, reduced operational costs, as well as employee satisfaction and contribution.

 Training and Presentations include:

1. What? – Define specific terms such as: team, teamwork, culture, common goal, roles, shared responsibilities, accountability, results, performance, diversity and inclusion and communication.  Explore the participants’ perspective and meaning of these terms as it applies to their personal lives, jobs and organization and learning institution.   In addition, uncovering the personal working styles and ethic which the participants possess.  Thus, using those are critical to their engagement with their supervisors, colleagues, and other team members.  This is especially critical when required to work with others from different cultural, geographical and linguistic backgrounds.
