In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens wrote … “it was the best of times, it was the worst of time…” and when applied in the context of teamwork, his words ring true. When teams function well, work can be a real joy, even amidst the chaos of COVID-19. However, when teams are dysfunctional, it may be a struggle to get out of bed in the morning.

Using real case studies, Dr King and Dr Cookson will discuss potential risks of dysfunctional teams and share practical strategies for building a healthier team culture within a work place.
