課程 2（共 5 門，Specialization Culture-Driven Team Building）

Teams are essential to the modern organization, but most never reach their potential. Co-workers miscommunicate, and groups struggle to adapt to changes in the market or their organizations. When teams lack self-awareness about these challenges, performance suffers. Based on years of team culture research and consulting experience, this course helps you understand the problems that hurt productivity, and gives you tools for creating positive change. This course also guides you through creating the ground rules and structure needed to set your team up for success. You gain the skills to diagnose issues such as conflicts, groupthink and lack of commitment in your team before they get out of control. The course offers frameworks to adjust team behaviors and get the best performance out of your people. You also understand frequent stumbling blocks for common team types, such as startups and virtual teams, and learn solutions tailored to each one.

Managing Common Team Types

In this last module, we will look at common types of teams like global teams and committees. We will discuss the challenges that each one is most likely to face and give you some tips for how to combat and overcome those challenges. We will also hear practical insights on managing startup teams from Anthony Maher, an entrepreneur, former professional soccer player, and a co-founder of Benjamin’s desk, which is the largest co-working community in Philadelphia.

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?
