Introduction to Extra-Dependent Teams
Introduction
EDT for Leaders
This 1-Day program is a practical introduction to Extra-Dependent Teams, how they are different and why this matters.
The Need
Too often leaders decide their Extra-Dependent Team isn't a team. Conventional solutions only provide for Inter-Dependent Teams But trying to making an Extra-Dependent Team (EDT) operate like an Inter-Dependent Team (IDT) can make things worse.
This Program
This unique program provides leading edge solutions to help leaders and teams find why they work the way they do, and how to develop to become a team to aspire to.
