Focus
on: Building Your Team
Build and lead strong teams is what propels organizations forward.
In this issue, we examine how a rowing program helped executives in
Wharton's Advanced Management Program gain new insights on
teamwork. Mike Barger, Chief Learning Officer of JetBlue, discusses
the role of the CLO in building and developing organizational skills
and teams. We explore a new Wharton program that is helping prepare
the top managers of India's second-largest bank for global leadership.
We offer a free chapter of the book, The Enthusiastic Employee, which
discusses how keeping employees engaged can lead to better performance.
And we preview upcoming executive education programs (on the right)
that can help you build your own skills or those of your team.
