Learn some key principles that can accelerate this process and help engage team ,members, giving everyone an interesting role and improving team performance. 3 takeaways from this presentation will include: 1) Tips for interacting with individuals 2) Tips for cooperative decision making 3) Tips for celebrating success Speaker(s): Mary Ellen Randall, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/425850
