In today's complex organizational environments, working within a team format, whether in a leadership role or as an active participant, requires a distinct set of skills compared to acting individually. This course focuses on the role of teaming as an executive function and the challenges of developing an effective team. Building off of foundational management theories of teaming, students learn applicable theories from psychology, neuroscience, and innovation disciplines. Conflict resolution, facilitating innovation, and building a climate of accountability are some themes explored in establishing conditions that provide flow and high performance. The course is highly interactive with case-based exercises intended to build students' skills as effective, contributing team members and leaders. Deep self-reflection about one's own teaming behavior is a central activity during the semester, in service of unlocking one's ability to better influence and lead team dynamics.
