Business today is a team sport. Whereas in the past, individuals might fly solo, or departments could operate in isolation, the “new age” of work crosses functions, depends on shifting roles, and even requires searching out business partners, allies, and networks. Progress now builds on the innovations of and connections with others. While you could once master a skill or an area of expertise, things now move too fast, and there is too much information and too many new technologies to stay on top of things in 2017 and beyond. Rather than trying to know it all and do it all, smart professionals know where to go and with whom to team up.
But most of us didn’t learn how to do this in school or on the job. We were led to believe that it is what we know or can do that will make us successful. That’s why teamwork must be taught. When you throw in differences between genders, an ever-broadening range of generations and workers and customers from many cultures, you can see where the problem becomes more complex than ever imagined.
But SyN is here to help you. We offer a full spectrum of workshops for every team member – from the rookie who just joined a team to the accomplished team leader who could use some re-energizing and new techniques for managing team work. Whether it’s an on-site team or a virtual team, we know just how to make them more productive and collaborative.
