DYNM 637 - Coaching and Facilitating Teams

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Wilkinsky. Highly productive teams plan well and execute against that plan. These teams have effective leadership which recognizes and fosters the development of the skills of the team's members. Tasks are accomplished in a cooperative and participative environment. Accomplishments are recognized and, as appropriate, celebrated. Failures and disappointments are explored so that the lessons can be used to succeed in the future. Sadly, not all teams and work groups fit the above description. Too often goals are not met, participation is uneven, finger-pointing, CYA, and lack of motivation permeate the team. In this course, we will explore the roles and functions of the coach and facilitator of organizational teams. This highly participative course will use both theory and practice to determine how to help teams avoid limiting pitfalls and increase their opportunity to become highly productive in the accomplishment of tasks and the professional and personal development of people.
