Is this Masterclass right for my team?
The journey to create “High Performance Teams” is the pilgrimage of our times. Teams of all hues and shades – in sports, in corporates, in start-ups, in hotels, hospitals and educational institutes tread this hallowed path in the quest of this precious manna. “No matter how brilliant your mind or strategy, if you’re playing a solo game, you’ll always lose out to a team,” is the way Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn cofounder, sums it up.
Over the last 25 years, Paddy has been deeply involved in studying and practicing this timeless leadership topic. If you are looking at building a High Performance Team in your organization or inspire your team in that direction, Paddy Upton is perhaps amongst the best Facilitators available in the world on this topic.
