INTRODUCTION
This week we will examine team context, team design, and team
performance and productivity. Team context may not be a concept that is readily
familiar. However, once you review what it entails, you will find that you have
worked within a team context. Think about the way you communicate with and
outside the team, the motivation drivers established for the team, and any
training needed to participate on the team. Any or all of these may be ways you
established context with the team.
Team design may be done well or may be haphazard. This could be
due to the lack of knowledge on the team lead. There are several different team
designs and some are designed for certain functions. When you read about the
various types of teams you will see that there is some overlap as well.
Finally, team performance and productivity are what leadership wants from a
team. However, team context and team design are integral to team performance
and productivity. Think about teams where you have been a member. Was it
productivity? Were communications well defined? Was the team productivity?
Think about these things when you read the lecture, the supplemental readings
and view the You Tubes.
This week’s lecture covers three main topics:
Team
Context
Team
Design
Team
Performance and Productivity
