The "Me" mindset is "I can do it on my own." And people achieve a certain level of success but will eventually hit the ceiling. They often feel overwhelmed, and more effort doesn't result in greater results.

Managers are working in silos which lead to confusion and lack of communication. They are trying to do too much and have lost sight of their priorities and the courage in asking for help. The shift occurs when we identify our weaknesses and have the courage to collaborate with our colleagues. Participants will: - Identify individual and team commitment to a more collaborative environment - Uncover any concerns in working together - The value of healthy conflict - How Responsibility can be an empowering concept - How to restore the team when promises are not kept Eric Papp is the author of the chapter "Building High Trust Teams" in his book "Leadership By Choice."
