Teamwork has become a way of life in many industries, agencies, and organizations. But, what do we know about teamwork, team leaders, and team effectiveness after decades of research? Professor Salas will highlight what we know about the science and practice of teamwork and team leadership. The talk will provide HR executives, managers and practitioners with valuable practical insights about what contributes to team effectiveness in organizations.
