High Performance Teams

There is no overstating the importance of teamwork today–and with our workplaces more polarized than ever before, this can seem like a daunting task. The value of bringing together diverse skills, identities, and perspectives to solve problems is important for companies and organizations to achieve their goals andobjectives. However, they can struggle to create the right environment for that diversity to thrive.
In The ART and Science of High-Performance Teams, an interactive workshop developed by the National Conflict Resolution Center (NCRC), participants learn important skills for strengthening team dynamics, including how to build more trusting relationships and increase accountability.NCRC presents compelling new research from leading universities that reinforces the concepts and skills being taught.
