Overview of Teams in Motion

This is a very effective representation of an intact team going through all four phases of the team building process. Diverse team members struggle to relate and reach high performance. Teams in Motion introduces learners to the phases of team development and the skills necessary to build effective relationships at each phase of the team process. It helps team members identify and manage wide-ranging differences (race, gender, cross-functional, thinking style, relationship style, personality, culture, etc.) that can be either an opportunity or barrier to achieving team goals.
