Programme overview
Are you a team leader driven to get the best out of your diverse team? Do you want to know how to motivate people to work with instead of against each other and help them bring their best assets to the fore?
In our newly designed Leading High-Performance Teams Programme, we equip you with the tools and methods to create a successful and productive team in a variety of modern-day working modes. It combines face-to-face teaching with live online check-ins and peer group coaching sessions, enabling you to interact fully with the faculty and benefit from the experience of all the participants.
In this course, you gain a unique advantage: the power to gauge your team’s pulse through a comprehensive survey encompassing critical factors for team performance. These survey tools are an integral part of our St. Gallen Top Team model. As both you and your team members provide insights through these surveys, you’ll gain invaluable insights into your overall team dynamics and sentiment.
In this redesigned training, you can experience a unique learning experience on our Executive Campus, including a keynote speech on the power of vision clarity by a C-Level guest speaker.
The programme also includes a reunion each year to give participants and alumni the opportunity to receive additional inspiration and grow their personal network.
The programme is also available with 2 ECTS points, which involve writing a reflection paper as well as an additional fee of 500 CHF.
Register now for our Leading High-Performance Teams Programme and unlock the full potential of you and your team.
