April 26-27, 2012: Teams and Change Leadership
with Dr. Marilyn Laiken, CODI Academic Director
This 2-day workshop is designed for managers, supervisors, consultants, team or project leaders, and informal group leaders in any setting.
Change leadership through team development has become a key strategy in growing high performing, 21st century organizations. Cohesive work teams, in which personal needs and organizational goals can be aligned, are central to effective organizational performance.
However, highly effective teams do not suddenly emerge on their own, fully developed and highly motivated. Successful teams require careful and consistent nurturing as they evolve from a collection of individuals to an integrated, high functioning unit that unleashes the creative potential in each of its members.

Embracing the Storming Phase; Conflict Management for Inspired Team Performance
with Dr. Marilyn Laiken, CODI Academic Director
In the morning session of this one-day workshop we will examine the issue of conflict avoidance as a cultural norm in North America. Recent Canadian research indicates that team members won’t easily confront differences among managers and team leaders won’t surface and confront the conflict that inevitably arises in group situations.
In the afternoon, we will focus on Polarity Management as an approach to managing difference in a team.
Date and Location: TBA
