Team Building: Foundations for Building an Effective Team
Strong teams don't just happen - they're built with intention. In this course, you'll learn how teams form, the challenges they face, and the different structures they can take. You'll leave with insights you can apply to make your team more productive, collaborative, and resilient.
Team Building: 02. Types of Teams
Different teams serve different purposes. Some teams are permanent are some come together for a short time. In this course, we'll talk about six common types of teams found within organizations: operational, leadership, self-directed, cross-functional, virtual, and process improvement teams. We'll define each and discuss the responsibilities and goals of the various teams.
Team Building: 03. Effective Team Members
If you've ever wondered what makes the difference between a mediocre team and an unstoppable one, it can help to consider what each member brings as an individual. Once you understand the qualities of being an effective team member, you can start to work on those skills yourself. In this program, we'll walk through eight different qualities that effective team members have.
Team Building: Team Development and the Tuckman Model
Strong teams evolve over time, and each stage of development brings unique challenges and opportunities. In this course, you'll learn about the Tuckman Model and how its five stages - forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning - shape team growth. You'll also gain strategies for guiding your team through these stages so they stay resilient and productive.
Team Building: Characteristics of a Successful Team
Great teams succeed because their members bring strong qualities and work together effectively. In this course, you'll explore the traits that make someone a reliable, adaptable, and collaborative team player. You'll also learn how to put these traits into practice so your team consistently performs at a high level.
Team Building: 06. Teams in Crisis Situations
How often is your team faced with a crisis or unexpected situation? The term crisis can be subjective. What's critical to one company or team isn't always critical to another. A crisis is defined as a time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger when a difficult or important decision must be made. In this course, we'll talk through common organizational crises and how to manage these unexpected events as a team. We'll also discuss effective crisis preparation, communication, and action.
Leading a Team: 01. Being a Team Leader
The role of the team leader is critical, because they motivate and inspire team members to work toward an organization's objectives. A leader keeps people focused on their assigned tasks and also serves as a model for team culture. This person must be open-minded, level-headed, dependable, and impartial. Whether you're just stepping into this role, or you've been there for awhile, this course covers some important tips for being a successful team leader. We'll teach you how to define the team's purpose and the big picture. We'll explain how to establish ground rules and expectations for team behaviors. We'll help you define roles and responsibilities and manage team workflows.
Leading a Team: 02. Team Building and the Tuckman Model
Many different factors can impact a team's success including social dynamics, expectations, and levels of skill and experience. But bringing the best people together doesn't automatically create a great team. Team building and development need to occur first. In this course, we'll take a look at the Tuckman model and it's five stages of team development. According to this theory, teams typically go through five phases as they grow more cohesive and learn to be productive as a group. Here, we'll talk about what these phases might look like on your team and how to lead your team through each stage to success.
