Why Effective Teaming works
When it comes to optimal team performance, who is on the team matters less than how the team works together—behavioral science, neuroscience and corporate research support this current understanding of teaming.
Based on this research, Effective Teaming cultivates the necessary skills to optimize how your team works together. Specifically, individuals and teams work best in an environment where they feel:
- More included
- Safe when learning something new
- Comfortable making contributions
- Encouraged to challenge the status quo
