Synopsis

This  unit  is  designed  to allow business leaders  and  managers  to
establish  and manage teams in their organisations. The  first  module
examines the management of diversity. By developing competency in this
area  managers  will  be able to assist members of  diverse  teams  to
respect  and  mobilise differences. The second  module  in  this  unit
explores  some  of the issues associated with forming and  maintaining
networks across organisational boundaries. These issues relate to  the
question  of  how  to  deal with the violation of  trust  in  business
networks, identifying your role as a key actor in a network and how to
implement the concepts of teamnets. This unit shows that managers must
consider  the relevance of teams to their organisation or  department.
It  then  goes on to discuss issues related to high performance  teams
such as their establishment, leadership, development and maintenance.
