A highly participative course where participants will experiment with a range of approaches and draw on each others' experiences. With a mixture of tutor input, plenary discussions, practical indoor exercises and small group working exercises and self-assessment questionnaires, each used to develop deeper understand of the issues facing you as you attempt to build effective teams.
