Dr Ian Brooks, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the University of Canterbury and teambuilding practitioner, will discuss:
What is team culture?
Why do we need to pay attention to it?
Why is it even more important that we focus on it as leaders in a changing environment?
He will also discuss the recent findings from a summary of a decade of empirical research into what makes teams effective. He will draw out the key lessons for leaders today and talk on topics such as the growing importance of creating shared mental models in teams; the effect of leader mood on team productivity; and how team size affects the speed of team development, plus many other aspects of team leadership.
