About the Course

In this course, you will learn how to build your team, improve teamwork and collaboration, and sustain team performance through continuous learning and improvement. Specifically, you will learn best practices for composing a team and aligning individual and team goals. You will also learn how to establish roles, build structures, and manage decision making so that your team excels. This course will also help you manage critical team processes such as conflict resolution and building trust that have a profound impact on your team’s performance. You will discuss some of the best ways to harness the productive potential of teams while mitigating the risks and traps of teamwork. In modern organization, most of work is done in teams, yet the results of teamwork are exceptionally mixed. Many teams are poorly designed and structured, fraught with dysfunctional conflict, experience coordination breakdowns and serious motivation challenges. As a result, many teams fail to realize their potential and frequently underperform even individuals working on similar tasks. After completing this course, you will acquire a set of tools and practices that enable you to effectively set up, run, evaluate, and continuously improve your team. Such insights will both make you a more effective team leader but also a standout contributor in team settings....

The Leading Teams course (part 04 of 05) in the specialization proved to be an immensely significant chapter in my learning journey. It equipped me with valuable skills in motivating teams while fostering an understanding of how individuals' cultures intersect with their performance dynamics. I gained profound insights into the intricacies of human behavior within an organizational framework, duly considering the cultural aspects that shape their approaches. These insights not only broadened my perspective but also enhanced my leadership proficiency, empowering me to guide, inspire, and achieve exceptional outcomes. "Empowering teams entails more than guidance; it involves harmonizing diverse strengths into a symphony of success."

An excellent course based on research. A lot of useful information. Great recommendations on how to build strong and effective teams. I also learned how to evaluate team performance and how to engage team members in processes. If you are a product manager, entrepreneur, or leader, you must take this course. What could be improved? I would like to see more examples, case studies, and stories. I would love to see examples of teams from different companies or startups. Overall, excellent. Thanks to the lecturers!

I really enjoyed this class. I liked the complexity of it all. I will draw on this class. It's good to be able to keep in this way so that I can go back to review things with time. Well done. I only recommend not use the word narotic anymore esp. due to the progress that has been made in psychology with trauma, posttraumatic stress and many other mental and emotional conditions.

It is built in a very clear, and interesting way, which motivates participants not only to follow the lessons and commit to the lessons, but also to actively engage with one another. I definitely learned some valuable lessons and tools which I'm sure will prove useful

I took this course as part of the Specialization. I wish I could put all the directors, VPs, and EVPs through this specialization. The tools, case studies, and resources alone make it worth the time and money.

I learned a lot. Much of the information was couterintuitive. So I learned that doing some things the exact opposite way I would have done them otherwise would yield better results. Very informative course.
