Navigating team dynamics

Effective courts rely on teams of individuals that can work together under pressure across roles and departments. Differences in work styles, communication preferences, and problem-solving approaches can create misunderstandings and inefficiencies if not properly managed. This webinar is designed to help court employees better understand how individual differences show up in their daily work environments and how to adapt in ways that strengthen collaboration and overall team performance. 

Panelists will explore tools and strategies that can be used to recognize diverse working styles, communicate more effectively with colleagues, reduce tensions, and support a respectful, productive workplace. They will also share ways to leverage individual strengths while maintaining shared accountability to serve the court's mission. 

After attending this webinar, you will be able to: 

• Recognize common work style differences and how they influence communication, decision-making and task management. 
• Apply strategies to adapt your communication style to improve clarity and reduce misunderstandings.
• Identify techniques to address conflict professionally. 
• Develop practical habits that support a work environment centered on trust, respect, and teamwork.
