This course uses blended learning to make the most of your time, focusing the session on interaction, knowledge sharing and skills practice, so that you have time to think about how to implement these theories with your own teams.

Please note, you will need to complete a small amount of pre-course work.

The pre-work will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Access the course materials, including pre work.

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Describe the attributes of a high performing team;
• Review theories of team development;
• Assess your own team’s psychological safety;
• Identify actionable steps to improve the performance of your own team.

This course will help you to:

• Set clear team objectives and expectations
• Take time to celebrate successes
• Build a strong, cohesive and balanced team
• Create a team culture that encourages innovation and receptivity to change
• Seek input from others to develop team solutions

Please note that attending the course does not provide evidence of achieving these behaviours. You will need to demonstrate them by applying your skills and knowledge.
