MN3011 Management of Teams

Teams are a building block of today's organizations. Teams are evident throughout DoD in such forms as operational squads, integrated product teams (IPTs), R&D innovation teams, and Joint Task Forces. The course examines the differences between groups and teams, between leader-managed and self-managed teams, between virtual and face-to-face teams, and between effective and ineffective teams. Analysis of effective teams include such issues as team dynamics, decision making, rewards, commitment, and the management of conflict (inter-personal, intra-team, and inter-team) in which power, influence and negotiation play central parts.
