What’s this course about?

This course offers you the opportunity to consider the importance of energy and empowerment in achieving a high-performing team. Managers, supervisors, and team leaders play an important role in setting the tone for their team’s culture and performance. There are strategies they can employ to harness motivation, talent, and capabilities within their team to drive performance and achieve results. This doesn’t mean the team won’t face challenges and setbacks, but if they feel energised to come up with solutions and empowered to implement those solutions, they will be better able to deal with those obstacles quickly and constructively.

We’ll help you understand the value of empowered and energised teams and how they can fit into your organisation. We’ll also give you some tools to cultivate and foster them in your own organisation.

This course is focused on responding to the big question:

In a pressure-filled work environment, how do I keep my team positively focused and driven to achieve quality results?
