idXready^TM - Collaborative Skills for Teams

More than likely, we've all had to work with people who were quite different than us. Sometimes it's frustrating. But have you ever worked on a team where people have learned to deal with their differences? Where conflict and miscommunication are reduced, meetings have a purpose, and time is managed efficiently? The goal of this program is to reconcile the inherent differences of team members to help you create an engaged, collaborative team.
