Do-it-Yourself Teambuilding for Project Engineers
This online engineering PDH course teaches participants very simple and highly effective methods of communicating those shared risks, rewards, etc. for maximum team productivity.
Many project engineers and managers believe that people assigned to projects will automatically be as productive as possible because they are professionals, and they are "supposed to". The reality, however, is often much different because levels of individual commitment are based upon the team member's perceptions of shared risks, rewards, threats, and opportunities.
This course acts as a comprehensive guide aimed at helping individuals understand and implement effective team-building strategies for unique projects. It begins by defining team building and emphasizing the importance of having everyone work together towards a common goal. It then explores the fundamental questions associated with team building, such as why it is necessary, what the desired outcomes are, and how it should be executed.
This course concludes with final thoughts on delegating tasks, using periodic reviews to stay focused, and maintaining team motivation through Maslow’s Pyramid and practical motivation factors. It offers powerful questions to break negotiation stalemates and reinforces the importance of focusing on interests for satisfactory outcomes.
