Becoming an Essential Team Player
As successful team members look to increase their individual contributions to a team, they may face some roadblocks.
You may have a team where everyone contributes to the success of the team, but no one is quite sure how to set the example.
This course is different from the Team Skills 101 course as it focuses on the individual who takes charge. This person is
not necessarily the manager of the team, but an influential team member who can inspire and organize a team's effectiveness
in a group setting. Each team member knows what is expected of them, but one team member needs to organize their collaboration.
This course is a great starting point for aspiring project leaders and team leaders!
