ILRHR 8406 - Designing Effective Teams

Staff.

The traditional view of team management focuses on improving interactions within a set structure in order to improve the team’s performance. This course offers a different perspective: one founded on the premise that how you structure the team from the start is what simultaneously drives the team’s interactions and also its performance.

This course is about teams, and thus course completion will require participation in two team-based activities in order to solidify your understanding of how to best run a team.

Once you have a solid understanding of the fundamental challenges that every team faces, you’ll learn a set of simple, comprehensive checklists that will allow you to both design and run any team for maximum performance.
