Building Teams at UNL
Higher education traditionally rewards the individual contributor rather than the accomplishments of a team. How do you shift the work culture to recognize the value of teamwork? Not all work groups are teams. How do you tell the difference? The presenter will address the fundamentals and functions of a team and discuss ways to help managers and employees value and facilitate teamwork at UNL.
