Creating High Performing Teams
26th February 2025, 9am GMT (UK time) – online meeting
High Performing Life Science OrganisationsIn our lives and in our careers we often find ourselves working together in teams, so it would seem obvious that understanding how to be a good team player or how to create the right behaviours for effective team work would be key. However, in many organisations poorly functioning teams are often at the root of failures to deliver, lack of innovation, poor retention rates and more. Indeed, Patrick Lencioni states ‘ It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.’ Dysfunctional team work is a problem that can be solved with focus on the right behaviours and some dedication to achieve it, so why not come along and have the opportunity to discuss it with like-minded people?
