The need for team-building expertise is universally recognized in our society. Issues are complex and fast changing. The way we have always done things is under siege. Established routines, procedures, and methods are not addressing new problems as rapidly as new problems appear.
Ambiguity is the norm.
Individuals in the public, corporate, educational, and volunteer sectors are expected to know not only what to do, but how to do as well. Certainly a solid foundation in theories of leadership, communication, group dynamics, teamwork, problem solving, decision-making, project management, creativity, and innovation is essential. Today's most successful performers learn many skills and strategies while on the go. That method has always been put to use and will continue to be used. Another alternative is to provide individuals with opportunities to enhance their intellectual capabilities with job skills that reflect sound theories.
