Team building is essential for any project of any size--yet the task is daunting.  Team members are selected based for their abilities and knowledge, combined with availability--and not necessarily based upon their ability to collaborate.  The Project Manager may not know any of them before the first project meeting, yet he or she must motivate them to work hard on a challenging project that may be supplemental and distracting from their regular work.  The Project Manager must build trust and espirit de corps.  This seminar begins the journey to working teams.

• What do you do at your first team meeting?
• Real world examples of team building from over twenty years of project management experience
• How do you sustain momentum and enthusiasm on a team?
