Team Building

This highly interactive class provides practical methods for working effectively in a team and avoiding negative behaviors. It is designed to be adaptable to local cultures.

When participants complete this class, they will be able to:

• Describe the importance of effectively functioning teams as an essential element to successful public health programs 
• Describe how to create more effective working relationships among team members 
• Create positive and productive team agreements and norms 
• Select specific skills and tools when creating alignment within diverse teams 
• Choose effective responses to resolve common problem behaviors present in teams

The course includes a workbook and facilitator guide. A PowerPoint presentation, though provided, is highly discouraged; rather it is recommended that the facilitator mingle with the participants.
