Team building and leadership expert michael cardus

I was in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania working with a corporate group and a teacher group. The corporate group was not alright with me disclosing who they were so, I will say it was great and we created an amazing process to solve problems and make decisions.

The school was Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania Charter School.

 Outcomes included;
  • Get to know each other (this is a new school)
  • Develop a process for communication and listening.
  • Develop a process for collaboration (information sharing, best practices) within and between staff and departments.
  • Learn about the experience, diversity and talents of team members and departments
  • Develop an action plan to transfer ideas and skills gained from program into YSWPCS culture and practice

Here are some images and Team Development outcomes for our time together;
