What the Research Says About Management Teamwork Skills
While many organizations rightly focus on hiring top talent, research shows that even the most skilled managers underperform when teamwork is weak.

• According to a study by Deloitte, 90% of executives believe that collaboration is critical to success, yet only 25% of them feel their teams collaborate effectively.
• Gallup research found that teams with high collaboration see 29% higher profitability and 20% higher engagement.

Core Management Teamwork Skills Program Overview
This customized, experiential management teamwork skills workshop focused on the team leading and building the high performing team skills needed to take intact teams, cross-functional teams, and virtual teams to the next level of team engagement and performance.  To cultivate effective teamwork at the management level, this financial services firm wanted the customized training program to focus on several foundational skills:

• Communication and Transparency
  We know from project postmortem data that clear, open communication is the backbone of successful teams. We know from people manager assessment center data that managers who articulate clear goals and accountabilities and provide timely updates greatly reduce misunderstandings and create a sense of shared team purpose.
• Conflict Resolution
  Conflict is inevitable when diverse perspectives converge. Skilled managers address disagreements constructively, focusing on issues rather than personalities. Conflict resolution skills ensure that debates lead to better solutions rather than team dysfunction.
• Empathy and Emotional Intelligence
  We know form new manager training that understanding colleagues’ perspectives and emotional triggers allows teams to navigate sensitive situations and maintain morale. Emotional intelligence enables teams to balance assertiveness with support, creating an environment where all voices are heard.
• Decision-Making and Accountability
  We know from decision making training that high-performing management teams make timely, informed decisions and hold each other accountable. Skills like prioritization, delegation, and risk assessment help teams act decisively while maintaining alignment.
• Collaboration and Delegation
  Effective teamwork means leveraging each strengths to increase productivity and collaboration. Assigning team roles and responsibilities strategically and supporting one another’s initiatives builds cohesion and maximizes team performance.
• Strategic Alignment
  We know from organizational alignment research that aligned teams grow revenue 52% faster, deliver 72% greater profitability, and are almost 17 times more engaged.  Aligned teams contribute to measurable outcomes and reduce silos that can undermine collaboration.
