Team building varies among organizations and units within organizations. The need for a team may be short-term or permanent. Regardless of the circumstance, the ability to develop and nurture productive, outcome-oriented teams is a primary responsibility of all leaders. Causing people to realize and achieve their potential as individuals and members of a team may seem, at times, like an all-consuming task. Students draw on their own experience and current workgroup to assess the stages of team development, solve problems that emerge within their team, gain consensus, motivate the group, and evaluate and convey success. Through readings, cases, and team projects, students identify and foster the positive capabilities of individuals, to benefit the entire team.
