We Live In Turbulent Times

We live in turbulent times … the drop in the price of oil, climate change and continued concerns about global economic stability.

This webinar references the 2008 economic collapse.  Economic concerns continue to dominate news headlines and impact business projects today.

Good business teams produce results during times of prosperity. It’s a different story during times of uncertainty and turbulence, when only the properly prepared and motivated teams will win.

Sustainable results require that every team—starting at the top and reaching down through the organization—be a great one.

• What makes great teams stand apart?
• What drives and sustains their performance in both good and lean times? And…
• How can they be replicated throughout an organization?

For over 25 years, Howard Guttman has been helping leaders in major corporations around the globe build great teams on every level.

The result: great organizations that successfully meet each new challenge and consistently outperform the competition.

In this webcast Howard will offer practical tips that you can use to help every team in your organization acquire the attributes it needs to carry you through these turbulent times.

You will gain a clear understanding of key factors that drive team performance and critical issues such as accountability, decision making, and conflict resolution.

In a nutshell, you’ll hear a fresh and dynamic approach to achieving better results.

This Includes:

• Why great business teams are the best way to create sustainable competitive advantage, in good times and in bad
• What separates great business teams from merely good, or average, ones
• The five characteristics shared by all great teams
• What you can do to transform your team/teams from good to great
• And much, much more
