Are you encouraging them to champion innovation and bring it to fruition? You’ll learn how such methodologies as the Myers- Briggs Type Indicator and Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory can be developed to avoid stereotyping your people and build effective teams. - Your teams.
Are you encouraging them to innovate?
Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner teach you to define the role best suited for each team member; reconcile any differences between, or amongst, them; and ensure that their work together is optimized. - Your organization.
