Team Leadership Public Course

A leadership framework for high-performance teams

Imagine a workforce made of teams that work together efficiently, find solutions to complex problems, and consistently produce superior results throughout the organization. However, when teams face a lack of shared purpose, have unclear goals, and contend with ineffective leadership, it’s difficult to achieve this level of success.

Based on SLII®, the most widely taught leadership model in the world, Blanchard’s Team Leadership program teaches managers to diagnose their teams’ development and apply the right leadership style to build and sustain high-performance teams. The course teaches team managers the skills they need to provide clarity, manage conflict, and break through barriers to help their teams reach their potential.
