These include the following capabilities: to choose and implement the team structures that are best for accomplishing specific goals, to diagnose team performance problems, and to design appropriate interventions.  Topics include motivation, conflict resolution, creativity, decision-making, communication, diversity, emotional intelligence, and leadership styles.
