Strong team and effective work culture generate greater productivity. The leader must possess the ability to cultivate team-cohesive and develop team-competencies. A cohesive team is formed through intentional group process and dynamic with openness to a shared vision, expectations, commitment to conflict resolutions and supports for one another.

People development takes on a different dimension in the pursuit of effective teamwork. There is a need to identify individual developmental needs to bridge the performance gaps. People development leaders possess the skills to unlock the power and potential of those around you. It’s about motivating, influencing and inspiring individual potentials and greater group synergy.
