People quit their bosses, not their jobs. The main driver of people quitting their job, having a low job satisfaction or low performance is because of their manager. A large study at Google has shown that the most effective teams, that outperform all other teams have only one thing in common: trust. Trust in each‐other and trust in their team‐leader.

 
How can you build a team from loose individuals? How do you grow trust? How can you inspire the people around you to performing at their best?

In this training we will cover how you can motivate and inspire people, how you build effective teams. You  will  learn  how  our  minds  work  and  how  you  need  to  adapt  as  a  leader.  We  will  put  these theoretical insights into action by leveraging several tools into a plan for you and your team. At the end you will learn how to follow‐up, provide feedback and evaluate performance. Finally we will cover a number of easy wins on how to build your relationships while still having enough spare time for your own work.
