In healthcare like other industries, the realities of the present often cloud the path to the future. When faced with pressing challenges, most leaders take a close, hard look at the talent around them. When they ask themselves if they have the right people to accomplish organizational needs, a better question to ask would be if they have the right team. Are their teams of talented individuals aligned around common goals and working in concert to achieve them? Great leaders are those who purposefully and intentionally assemble, build and maintain great teams. Thus, team-building is a leadership competency to be learned and refined. This session will examine the definition of a strong team and what makes one team work in instances when others might fail. Faculty will also provide recommendations for how leaders can develop the ability to unify those around them into a high-functioning, cohesive and content unit. Finally, presenters will challenge attendees to evaluate their current teams and imagine how they can help make them great followed with time for Q&A.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe a framework that considers the who, what, why and how of building a team.
• Determine the importance of team purpose and norms in establishing unity and team strength.
• Cite ways for maintaining team alignment over time.
