Role of the Team Member

I made several webinars for a company that is moving many people to team leadership roles, and they were struggling with their virtual teams getting work done.

The company had good people and we identified that poor beginnings to team projects created challenges later on. We also identified that the team leaders needed some simple check-lists and job-aids to ensure that they could do their best work.

By having the – Getting the team started Checklists – this freed up the creative energy for the team leaders to improve the teamwork and system for how they work together.

We are making more webinars and internal team leader job-aids that will support new and semi-experienced team leaders to make progress.
