Wk 5 Discussion – How Do You Lead a Team?

 

In this final week, we will shift to discuss how leaders can help facilitate effective teamwork. You will leverage what you have learned about communication, leadership, conflict resolution, and team dynamics to help the teams you work on make the best decisions they can. 

For this week’s discussion, consider the learning activities you’ve completed and your own experience within a team.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: 

• What do you feel is the role of a leader within a team? Include examples of leadership you have experienced when working on teams.
• You might have experience making decisions and solving problems on your own, but these tasks are quite different when working in a team. What would you need to consider when leading a team in making decisions and solving problems? 
• How can you apply what you learned in this class when faced with a problem or conflict in a team setting?
