In today’s workplace, professionals don’t work alone, and rarely work with just one other person. More often, we are required to work in diverse, multidiscipline groups to strategize, design solutions, ideate, motivate, manage, and execute.

J. Richard Hackman pioneer work back in 1970s showed that what matters most in collaboration is not the personalities, attitudes, or behavioural styles of the team members. Instead, what teams need to thrive are certain ‘enabling conditions’: a compelling direction, a strong structure and a supportive context.

In this lecture, learners will analyse and evaluate their own experiences of leading and participating in teams and will relate them to industry & sports examples.
