Last month we talked about selecting the appropriate technology solutions for your needs. What we know to be true--no matter how good the solutions is, it is not going to be successful if no one uses it.

This session will review team management solutions with research-based tech tools to really showcase your leadership skills.

Finally, we will discuss the rollout messaging so your team knows you desire to expand the team, not monitor their every click.
