Leadership Study: Inspiring Positive Team Culture

September 28th | 11:30-12:30pm | Melanie Domenech Rodriquez

Positive Team Culture is collaborative, transparent, and strengths-focused.  Ideally, teams are comprised of people with diverse identities and life experiences so that teams may benefit from broad perspectives and team processes. However, diversity within teams can be difficult to navigate when life ways and thought ways appear to be clashing. Effective leaders seek diverse group composition and take steps to maximize the benefits of diversity with inclusive practices.
