Team Guidelines

An essential skill for high-performing executives involves designing, leading and participating on teams. Much of your learning experience relies on your active participation in an assigned learning team. The teams are assigned at the beginning of the program and evaluated halfway through the academic experience to determine if team rosters remain the same or will be changed. To support your learning and effectiveness as a team player, the program includes a series of team assessments and feedback activities. You will be asked to create a team contract, a self-assessment of team skills, and a revised version of your team contract.

While teams can, at times, experience minor growing pains and challenges, occasionally issues arise that impact team performance.  If that happens, teams have options. First, the team addresses the issues on its own using the revised team contract as a guide. Second, an external facilitator may be assigned to assist the team. Third, as a last resort, a team may be disbanded and members reassigned to other teams by the Associate Dean.
