Improving Your Work Teams by Identifying Individual Styles  

Effective teams develop a synergy that cannot be estimated or measured, but is an end result of successful projects. This synergy can be contributed to effective communications and insightful task and resource assignment. By identifying team membership styles, and applying these styles to individuals in a team, all team members can contribute to the increased synergy and ultimate success of a project. Tools to achieve this effect, as well as practical examples to demonstrate it, motivate participants to reuse style identification methods.

Management vs. Leadership  

Management and leadership have been partners in the successes and failures of countries and companies before the start of recorded history. The basic concepts of both are well understood but despite a large amount of information available, there is still confusion and disagreement on the implementation of management skills vs. leadership principles. Successful creation of a professional development program is dependant on the recognition that technical/management skills are learned abilities, they are the backbone of the companies core capabilities. These capabilities must be augmented with leadership attributes that allow the team to move forward in implementation of the core business.
