This course is about developing your personal skills for providing outstanding informal leadership related to people, tasks, and change. One of the most important competencies listed by managers concerning employees is being a good team player. Believe that, and you will be an effective player on your project team. But you're also aware that by being integrated into a team can take away your individuality and your well-deserved recognition as a valued employee.
