Course Description

This two-day course is designed for business professionals from all disciplines (contracting, IT, program and project management, grants, leasing, legal, etc.) who manage others or lead teams. Creating buy-in from all involved is a critical step towards having a functioning team or organization. When you can get buy-in from others, creating a culture where everyone feels responsible for their own work becomes an easy task. This course focuses on creating buy-in, and then creating a culture of accountability where everyone feels that their work matters, their opinion matters, and they feel a sense of responsibility for their work – leading to a higher quality work product.
