Spring Conference 2026 - Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Working Genius

Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Working Genius

Join us for the SESHRM Spring Conference on March 17.

This session gives participants practical tools to strengthen team trust, communication, and accountability. When trust is higher and expectations are clearer, meetings get more productive, hard conversations get easier, and follow-through stops falling on the same few people. Teams move faster with less tension because the work is clearer and the handoffs are cleaner. Using the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team and Working Genius, attendees will learn why teams avoid conflict, how to improve commitment and follow-through, and how to align people to the right kind of work to reduce friction and increase performance.

Participants will be able to:

• Identify the behaviors that build trust and reduce team tension
• Use simple strategies to increase healthy conflict and better decisions
• Improve commitment and accountability without blame or drama
• Apply Working Genius to strengthen collaboration, delegation, and workflow

This event is approved for 3.75 continuing educational credits from SHRM and HRCI (Business)!!
