Leading High-Performing Teams

Developed by Colonel (Retired) Tom Magness, Leading High-Performing Teams provides an exceptional opportunity for leaders in charge of teams to learn how to achieve critical business objectives by maximizing their team’s success. Ineffective team leadership can cost companies hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue, missed opportunities, preventable waste, and poor personnel decisions. The course weaves in successful U.S. Army leadership and teambuilding principles and tools that can be applied to any organization, such as: Leader’s Intent, Back Brief, Situational Awareness, and the After-Action-Review.

In this course, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Discover methods to plan and secure team buy-in for an ambitious vision
  • Learn and apply a 4-stage framework (Plan, Prepare, Execute, Learn) – used extensively by the U. S. Army to drive successful operations – to guide your team to higher performance levels
  • Understand how to develop synergy and why empowerment leads to improved performance
  • Learn how to conduct After-Action-Reviews (AARs) to support team learning
