Overview

Teams have been getting more and more visibility. We have begun to recognize the fact that people's minds are a powerful resource. The focus of this program is to establish a base of understanding of the evolution of people participation and how to attain the epitome of self-managed teams.

There are a number of basic principles which must be put into effect, this requires major cultural changes. Recognizing such, and subsequently it, must become a very well-orchestrated process.

A major question is how supervision, and the management feels about self-managed teams. Many say they will support them, but they really question their need and sometimes resist them. This neural or negative feeling must be addressed.
These legitimate concerns are part of this program!
