In our first three modules, we gave you general frameworks for understanding, diagnosing, and solving issues on any team. But there are plenty of different types of teams with their own unique challenges. So while you now have a toolbox for developing your overall collaboration and leadership skills, we're really going to drill down a little deeper in this module. In particular, we're going to be looking at four common types of teams and specific strategies for helping them work together more effectively. First we'll talk about remote teams, which are those that have members who are in a physically different location and can't meet face to face very often. The biggest challenge this teams deal with is their distance. It makes it hard for team members to communicate effectively and understand each other's intentions. We'll talk about ways you can make teams with members, who, maybe all over the world feel like a little bit more like a tight knit group operating in close quarters. Next, we'll talk about startup teams, if you're interested in entrepreneurship, this unit is especially useful for you. The biggest hurdle for startup teams is the need for speed. When any day can bring an event that will make your company sink or swim, you're constantly working to stay ahead of the market. In this environment team dynamics might be the last thing on your mind but relationships are still no less important. So I'll give you ideas on how you can create quick checkpoints to deal with important moments in your team's development. Aviva will then talk about teams tasks with developing a specific product or service within a larger organization. These development teams suffer most commonly from group think, the inability to be truly creative and innovative with new ideas. She'll step through a few ways you can spur creativity and encourage new perspectives to emerge on these teams. The ultimate goal in that unit is to help you build competitive advantage. Lastly, Aviva will talk about committees. Now, this type of team performance tends to suffer due to a lack of engagement. Committee members usually have other obligations that take a higher priority. So, getting them to stay committed and passionate is really tough sometimes. Aviva will outline strategies for growing commitment to team goals and staying involved. Now, even if you’re not involved to one or more these types of teams, I would really encourage you to pay close attention to each in you and in all the same. Another way to think about these modules that were going deeper on the issues of communication, speed, group think, and low commitment, which are really barriers that all teams will probably run up against sooner or later. So this module is actually all about growing your toolkit for dealing with these specific team issues. So why don't we dive in?
