For many team leaders, leadership can seem like an intangible, unattainable skill - one that's best left to those at the top of the organization. But in reality, leadership takes place at many different levels, from strategic directors to team and project leaders. And the common denominator is a set of key recognizable skills that any leader can learn, practice, and develop.
22 Training Events for Developing Team Leaders - a series of exercises, simulations, games, and case studies, addresses the skills at the heart of improving the way in which team leaders guide their teams.
This thought-provoking collection provides skill development in such critical areas as:
Initiating Decision-making Controlling Communicating Evaluating Motivating Planning & Delegating Personal Skills 22 Training Events for Developing Team Leaders is flexible and may be adapted to meet your participants' specific training needs. Build the activities into any team leadership program, tie together several events for a mini training session, or use selected activities as stand-alone exercises.

The binder also includes reproducible participant handouts, task sheets, and debriefing questions; an activity index, activity summaries, and a time checklist.
