Discover strategies to transform team dysfunction into collaboration and performance with insights from Bob Johnson, PhD.

Teams where members feel that everyone “has your back” are rare. Whether it’s teams on fast-paced project teams or executive teams full of ego and co-opetition, dysfunction is so often the norm that we become resigned to it. It doesn’t have to be that way, and in fact it’s a critical competitive advantage if it’s never that way.

Learn:

* What’s at the heart of team dysfunction.

* How teams could approach problems but rarely do.

* How our own actions are often to blame.

* Understand the real key to influence in group dynamics.

* The criticality of team cohesion at the executive level and what it takes to achieve it.

Bob Johnson, Ph.D., is the Founder and Managing Partner at Shoreline Partners. With a track record of guiding over 1,000 CEOs, executives, and their teams, he equips clients with the awareness and skills to transform friction into fuel - turning their recurring problems into partnerships that drive performance.

Who should listen?

* Executives wanting to improve their influence on and dynamics of the teams they lead.

* Leaders at all levels who feel like they are spending too much time as “The Referee.”
