COLLABORATION: THE KEY TO EFFECTIVE RELATIONSHIPS AND PERFORMANCE

 
The greatest source of inefficiency for most organizations lies in working relationships – conflict, mistrust and misunderstanding. Tolerating relationship dysfunction does not make good business sense. Collaboration is an essential ingredient for successful performance in the modern business environment. Good leaders create a collaborative environment where people choose to participate and commit, leading to engagement, innovation, performance, and organizational effectiveness. This session will provide a step by step process to nurture and develop collaboration within teams, departments and functions within your organization. Delegates will leave this highly interactive workshop with practical ideas and tools to address the issues relating to collaboration in their workplace. Shay McConnon draws on his 20+ years working in organizations on leadership and culture issues to show you how to improve relationship efficiency. He will give you the tools that will allow you to engage your staff and create even more collaborative relationships.
