For some teams, it can be beneficial for everyone in the team, including managers, to attend this course together – or choose an in-house option – so you can all help each other to integrate the skills and strategies back into the workplace following the course. This can also help team members understand their ‘preferred’ and ‘natural’ team roles, and as a result understand how to work more collaboratively as a group.
