Based on the ATLAS workshops Team Building for Academic Leaders and Promoting Faculty and Staff Engagement, this guide provides academic leaders with advice on how they can forge stronger teams, encourage greater engagement, and reduce friction in the areas they supervise. This concise resource contains information about how to overcome common obstacles to teamwork and deal with those annoying “elephants in the room.” The booklet is designed for academic leaders to use for their own development, as the outline for a professional development workshop, or as a “handout” that trainers can distribute when leading a workshop.
