Scenario

As part of your ongoing advisory/coaching engagement with Sun City Board’s founder Tom Wilson, you are preparing for a discussion of team dynamics. Tom has asked you to send him a link with “food for thought” on the topic. You remember reading about Google’s Project Aristotle and decide to review and summarize the findings for Tom.

For Discussion

  1. As preparation for this discussion, research Google’s Project Aristotle, including the Team Effectiveness Guide customization tool.
  2. In your email to Tom, summarize the relevant lessons learned and include one guiding question for each of the five factors that impact team effectiveness.

Posts 2 and 3: Respond to Classmates’ Posts

Instructions

After you have created your initial post, look over the discussion posts of your classmates and give at least two thoughtful responses to two different classmates (one per classmate).

A response posting should be a minimum of one short paragraph. Word totals for these posts should be in the 75–100-word range. Whether you agree or disagree, explain why with supporting evidence and concepts from the readings or a related experience. Include a reference, link, or citation when appropriate. The goal of your response posts is to extend discussions already taking place or pose new possibilities or opinions not previously voiced. Your goal should be to motivate the group discussion and present a creative approach to the topic.
