Postdoc Academy Workshop: Group Dynamics and Effective Teams
About this session
Do you worry about conflict and disagreement in your team? Do you use strategies to avoid conflict? Do you want to better understand how groups and teams function in order to improve your productivity?
Conflict and disagreement are a natural and inevitable part of group development. What’s important is how this is dealt with.
In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to:
- learn about some key theories on group/team development
- examine strategies to address disagreement in a way which enables you to achieve your team’s goals
- look at some real-world conflict scenarios and apply strategies
- work on a situation from your own context and get feedback.
This workshop is for anyone who works as part of a team and wants to better understand how teams function, or if you are an aspiring team leader looking for strategies to manage teams.
