Managing Teams: The Teaming Mindset (Tuesday Cohort)

Many leaders are taught to think of teams as carefully designed, static groups of individuals who have ample time to practice interacting successfully and efficiently. This is “team” envisioned as a noun. The Teaming Mindset sees teaming as a dynamic activity, not a bounded, static entity. Here “teaming” is a verb. It is largely determined by a mindset and practices of teamwork, not by the design and structure of effective teams. Teaming is teamwork on the fly. Teaming is the engine of organizational learning. In this module we focus on developing both affective (feeling) and cognitive (thinking) skills that are foundational to the Teaming Mindset.
