actually I have seen ( been part of ) some good team training at work ( I'm not actually convinced it produced the desired effect, however  and I've carefully kept the details just in case!
Communication is always the key, something which is sometimes seen as bad - hence the IT silo approach. I'm not sure about talking to managers about team skills , especially if it can be taken as criticism, I sometimes think employees , as against contractors/freelancers, are much more constrained - worries about pension, holidays, propects, appraisals, bonus etc. etc.
Whilst I might agree team/management skills can be easily defined and taught, learning and /or adopting them is another matter.
