Leading Others: Building High-Performance Teams

The business world has entered a new normal characterized by relentless change, complexity, and continuous disruptions. Leaders and Organizations recognize that without developing and deploying agile and high-performing teams, the viability and survival of their businesses would be impossible. In this course, students learn key team theories and concepts, strategies, and tools to address the functioning and effectiveness of teams in the workplace, and how to create high-performance teams. This course uses seminars, group activities and discussions, critical and reflective thinking, case analysis, a final paper, and presentation to gain relevant knowledge, skills, and competencies.

This class will have a significant online component, with some class meetings conducted via Zoom and learning activities conducted through Canvas. The faculty will offer alternative assignments if conditions or illness prevent students from accessing our synchronous meetings, so as to allow students to earn comparable credit.
