Creating Strong Leadership Teams to Build a Strong Company

Tri-C Metropolitan Campus, Campus Center 2900 Community College Avenue, Cleveland, OH, United States

The success of an organization is determined by the strength of a team. It’s easy for entrepreneurs to take on too much and the load becomes unwieldy, frustrating, and can bury us before we know. So, we hire people to help us and we start to develop a team. Hopefully. Building a great team is the single most important thing an entrepreneur needs to do to grow the business. More often than not this gets missed. Trust, candid conflict, clarity, and communication are key to building a team focused on results. This session is designed for you and three to five of your closest leaders (your team!) to learn how to be a team. Rom will cover the basic principles that can make your team perform better. If you think you have it covered, and go at it alone, stay home. If you want to grow your business, and want to grow your team, come prepared to learn and put your team in motion. Lunch will be served from 12:00 to 1:00 and will get the session ready to launch. REGISTER TODAY
