Introduction
The word "Team", in it's broadest sense, covers all types of interactions among a specific group of people -their conflicts, co-operative efforts and group relationships.
In the minds of many employers, the ability to work in a team represent an important category of "basic skills" the worker is expected to bring to the job. Technical ability is often not enough to achieve career success. Unfortunately the ability to work in a team is often the most neglected area of personal education.
Studies indicate that many of the people who have difficulty obtaining or holding a job, or advancing to positions of greater responsibility, possess the needed technical competence but lack the ability to work in a team.
This program has been designed to educate people as to why our beliefs, attitudes and behaviors sometimes cause interpersonal conflict and a lack of co-operation in our personal and work related lives. It also shows team members how to understand each other in such a way so as to acknowledge each other's strengths, and accept and strengthen each other's weaknesses. With the knowledge gained from this program, team members will learn to support each other, and thereby improve productivity, instead of wasting energy and productive time on trying to change each other.
