Drive High Performance with Team Leader Training
Leaders aren’t usually just supervising one other person—they’re leading teams. Those teams can range from a few to sometimes dozens of people, some in supervisory roles themselves. The more people they’re leading, the more complex and challenging their task becomes.
Most leaders have little to no training or experience in best practices to boost team performance through effective leadership. Team leader training can help, especially for those who are new to their roles.
High-performing leaders need to:
- Skillfully communicate, empower, coach, and counsel their teams.
- Effectively manage change and conflict.
- Build relationships and support a culture that promotes productive teamwork.
Team leaders need the knowledge, skills, and practice to be effective. That’s where team leader training can come into play, laying the foundation for high-performing work teams.
Improve the Performance of Your Team Leaders and Their Teams
When an employee is good at the job they do, they’re often identified as a candidate to move into a supervisory or leadership role.
Team leader training can help both new and experienced leaders better understand their role and the 10 essential skills they need to move from individual contributors to team leaders that can drive high performance and achieve company goals.
Improved communication, accountability, and problem-solving skills.

“The results we achieved with The Leadership Journey™: productivity went up 18%, employee problems decreased 90%, and employee morale improved across all departments.”
Gary Cameron, Human Resources Director, Mitchell Grocery Distribution (View their case study.)
What the Leaders of High-performing Teams Do Differently
The leaders of high-performing teams have specific skills that they’ve mastered that help them successfully manage both individual team members and the team as a whole.
They know how to communicate effectively, manage conflict, navigate change, provide effective feedback, hold team members accountable—and lead them to work together to achieve common goals.
These skills, of course, don’t just develop naturally. Without the proper training, there are many things that ineffective leaders do wrong that can damage your organization and challenge its ability to be successful.
The Leadership Journey teaches them how to get it right through practical leadership skills training.

The Leadership Journey focuses on several aspects of effective communication, including: That’s just the tip of the iceberg. The Leadership Journey takes a deep dive into a number of core elements of effective communication to help team leaders develop the ability to communicate with conviction and confidence. Team leaders must hold themselves and team members accountable to achieve goals and generate results. This involves the ability to clearly convey expectations, establish means of monitoring and measuring expected versus actual results, and communicate effectively when behaviors or outcomes are unacceptable. Performance cultures are built on strong accountability and clear, candid communication. Supervisors and team leaders will learn key accountability skills: Leaders must have the ability to continually motivate themselves and others to take action and exhibit behavior that will produce results. Supervisors and team leaders will learn practical motivation techniques like: When leaders move from individual contributor roles to supervisor or manager roles, they must stop doing and begin delegating. Most, though, haven’t been trained on effective delegation skills and often struggle with letting go. Effective delegation can significantly boost team productivity, performance, and results. Modules in The Leadership Journey will teach your supervisors: Conflict is a given in any team environment and not something to be avoided. Effective team leaders understand the role conflict plays in any organization and how to effectively manage conflict to maintain trust and open channels of communication in order to achieve desired results.
