The life science industry is dominated by teams. High-performing teams create a dynamic where innovation and productivity flourish. They respect and amplify the talents of the individual. Put simply: they get more done. However, even the most motivated teams can have challenging team members and, possibly be derailed by those individuals. With candor (and humor), this session will outline specific team member personalities that can disrupt a project or process. Small groups will focus on strategies for keeping cool, obtaining information, and maintaining team rapport with their challenging team member. You will be encouraged to share examples and solutions within your small group and then the larger audience. This will be an interactive session for attendees at all levels.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Discuss the challenges of working in a group dynamic
- Detail strategies for handling challenging team members
- Strategize how to create a better rapport
