Special opportunity to learn from Stanford startup experts
Effective teamwork is at the heart of successful startups. We’ve all heard how much of an impact company culture makes on business success. So how do you get everybody in the same boat, rowing in the same direction?
We invite you to participate in a special invitation-only workshop on team effectiveness at Atlanta Tech Village, led by Professor Lindred Greer, a noted leader in organizational behavior at the top business school in the country, Stanford Graduate School of Business.
As part of the workshop, you will be invited to be part of an Atlanta-Stanford Business School study on new ventures, a unique opportunity.
To participate in the workshop and the study there are some prerequisites:
- You must bring your full team to the workshop (these sessions are best suited for startups with 2-10 people)
- The team must fill out an online survey (3-5 minutes) in advance
- Teams will fill in a short survey at the end of the session and a short (less than 5 minute) follow-up survey later in the Spring
Because of the important nature of the topic, Professor Greer has agreed to offer the workshop in several sessions over the course of a few days, but space is limited! Each workshop session will be open to a handful of startup teams.
Workshops spots are available Monday-Thursday the week of February 9th-12th. The workshop is an hour in length.
