Introduces a theoretical and experiential understanding of team development, consensus decision-making, sharing values, diversity, facilitation, conflict resolution, and dialogue. Theory is based on emerging views of teams and organizations as self-organizing systems.
Class description
SPRING 2008: This course is a mix of hearing about team leadership and membership and actually experiencing these two phenomena. The learning activities are designed to give students a deeper awareness of individual and group dynamics and how teams operate as self-organizing systems. Emphasis is placed on experiential learning in order to connect theory to application. Topics include types of teams, the roles we play on teams, stages of team development, conflict management, mediation, and diversity. The course meets for three consecutive Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on each of the following dates: April 5, 12, and 19.
Please note that, weather permitting, the second class session (April 12) will be held off campus in Monroe. Carpooling is strongly encouraged.
