What you'll learn:

To be successful, project team members need to function well together—and work quickly. Sometimes project teams, especially for high-profile projects, consist of groups of employees with different backgrounds and skillsets who have never worked together. How would you start building a team from this group of individuals? Managers need to understand the nature of teams and how to build them effectively.

In this course, you will learn why teams are important, how to develop effective teams, and how to deal with common conflicts that might arise, especially when dealing with a brand new team.
