This is an intensive, interactive, and experiential course focusing on teams and teamwork. It is a theory-based, but highly practical approach to the subject, designed to provide students with essential skills to become effective and productive team members and leaders of teams. Proven teamwork tools, roles, and processes are introduced and used as part of the course so that participants are familiar with those they will use at work.
While prior or current professional work experience in teams is not essential for students' ability to contribute to and benefit from the course, much of the material with which we will be working comes from participants' day to day interaction with the real world and honest confrontation with self and others through classroom activities.
