In Managing Teams, students will learn and apply core knowledge, skills and tools for leading teams in a context of digital transformation and dynamic competitive environments. The subject focuses in particular on how to cultivate individual and collective capacity for collaboration.
To this end the subject focuses on leadership competencies in four domains:
- Communication (including presenting clearly, with impact and the importance of authenticity)
- Teams (including dynamics, group decision making and sharing of leadership)
- Performance Management (including setting goals and providing feedback)
- Conflict and negotiation (including diagnosing types and causes of conflict, and negotiation and conflict resolution practices)
Building on current academic research and leadership practice, students will devise actionable strategies to address complex day-to-day team leadership challenges in a context of organizational complexity, disruptive technologies, and diverse stakeholder needs and demands. Students will develop skills for critical analysis and reflection, for individual and collective decision making, and for supporting team member well-being in uncertain and challenging conditions. This subject includes lectures with leading experts, case studies, contemporary readings and resources, webinars, and facilitated online group discussions.
