STILLWATER, Okla. – Every organization wants to identify, hire and develop ideal team players, but what steps do you take to actually do that?  

 

Author Patrick Lencioni believes the best team members are humble, hungry and smart.  

 

On May 10, as part of the Lunchtime Learning series co-sponsored by the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce and Meridian Technology Center, Lorinda Schrammel will present "How to Recognize and Cultivate the Ideal Team Player.”  

 

In this fast-paced session based on Lencioni’s recent bestseller of the same name, you will explore each of those virtues and learn how to build a culture of hiring and developing around those virtues. Whether you’re a leader trying to create a culture around teamwork, a manager looking to hire team players, or a team player wanting to improve yourself, this session will prove to be as useful as it is compelling.
