Creating and Leading Accountable Teams - School of Continuing Education, University Of Wisconsin

	Creating and Leading Accountable Teams

	Required first course for the Team Effectiveness Certificate. Our ability to connect to a group is a requirement for human survival. Behavior in a group setting is driven by our fear of separation. Understand the six conditions that must exist for a highly functional team to succeed. Teams are truly an enigma. We dream of leading or being on a highly functional team but such teams are extremely rare. Traditional classes will focus on stages of team formation, team building activities, communication styles, etc. and while all of this is helpful it fails to address the real reasons why most teams are dysfunctional and fail to deliver the desired results. Join us for this somewhat contrarian look at teams and learn what is truly required to get a team to not only function but to become accountable and what steps you have to take to make it all happen.
