The objectives of the program are to develop a general framework that enables you to better prepare for and conduct a wide range of negotiations and to use negotiations to resolve difficult conflicts effectively and efficiently.

Creating and Leading High-Performing Teams
http://executiveeducation.wharton.upenn.edu/open-enrollment/leadership-development-programs/creating-leading-teams.cfm
The dynamics of teamwork are too complex to be understood in the classroom alone. This program provides a distinctive combination of classroom and case work along with daily experiential exercises. It builds upon years of programs by Professor Mike Useem and Wharton Leadership Ventures, which have immersed MBA students and executives in rigorous outdoor challenges around the globe. Senior guest speakers also will offer their experiences from business, the military, and other areas.
Teams drive organizational progress. Yet forming and leading high-performance teams is one of the most complex challenges facing any leader. Creating and Leading High-Performing Teams combines the best insights from research and case studies, tested in the context of hands-on, experiential learning. The program places executives into team challenges in diverse settings — from rowing crew shells to the performing arts. These experiences will change the way you create and lead your own high-performing teams.
In this program, you will:
Understand the stages of team formation.
Gain hands-on experience in building, participating on, and leading teams in diverse contexts.
Understand how team leadership resides in action rather than position.
Learn to manage strong individual players within a team and draw out the best from everyone — so the team is more than a sum of its parts.
Learn about your own leadership style and its impact on team performance.
Build a network of fellow leaders for sharing challenges, insights, and perspectives.
