IO 555 - Work Team Dynamics


Prerequisite(s): IO 510 . Most organizations use team-based processes to leverage individual strengths and to maximize productivity. Often these teams have fairly complex reporting relationships and no formal leadership structure. The most productive teams are facilitated by skilled process managers who understand how to build teams and to keep them productive over their life span, both as informal and formal leaders. Students will learn how to create effective, productive work teams, manage meetings, and get things done while building long term mutually beneficial relationships. This course is designed to give the participant the skills needed to manage team processes in a way that helps the organization reach its objectives. (Lab Fee) (3 credits)
