Team building within an organization’s management often gives them an advantage in meeting the challenges and opportunities of today’s global economy. A June 3-5 program from the Michigan State University Eli Broad College of Business helps prepare managers to build and develop effective teams, but with a unique twist: it employs the expertise of the college’s faculty and the Spartan coaching staff.
Building Winning Teams: A Quest For Excellence is designed to help managers build a strong team structure and culture, with the ability to make effective strategic and tactical decisions. It will help them build skills to select and recruit top talent, manage conflict and change and team development. The program covers the following topics about leadership and team development:
- Design – Organizational Structure and Culture
- Composition – Selection and Recruitment
- Decision-Making – Analysis and Choice
- Process Management – Conflict and Negotiation
- Change Management – Resistance and Renewal
Each day’s events also include coaching moments with the Spartan athletic department, featuring live discussions led by MSU coaches; team activities that include action learning, planning, execution and analysis led by coaches and faculty; and firsthand exposure to cutting-edge research on teamwork and to coaching philosophies and winning approaches. MSU coaches participating in the program include Mark Dantonio, football; Tom Izzo, men’s basketball; Suzy Merchant, women’s basketball; Tom Anastos, hockey; Jake Boss, baseball; Cathy George, women’s volleyball; and Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll, women’s golf.
