Cultivating teams who can deliver impact

Overview

Now more than ever, change is a constant and there is a need for collective problem-solving and creativity. This is most likely to occur in high-trust environments facilitated by less traditional team leadership approaches. This 2-day course embraces this challenge and intends to provoke you to think about teams differently. You will challenge the traditional concepts of cultivating teams, with practical concepts about how people work together and your own team leadership. This hands-on course will look at the mechanisms of cooperation and how, with your help, the knowledge held within the team can be allowed to manifest into problem-solving and creativity. This course will also challenge established team management concepts by presenting different perspectives of how you as a leader can facilitate change through trust, respect, and empowerment (but not necessarily in the ways you might think).

Dr Anita Wheeldon, Senior Lecturer

Dr Anita Wheeldon has had a diverse career in higher education, starting in a professional staff appointment and moving up in management roles before transitioning into an academic role and progressing to academic leadership appointment. Anita was the program director of the Master of Business until end of 2023. Her experiences have shaped her own personal teaching philosophy and purpose, which she expresses as playing a part in leading the education of ‘thinking’ business professionals who will work to solve the problems of our world using sustainable business practices. Her learning and teaching practices and leadership stimulate students and future business graduates to learn about the future of business in such a way as to be able to think deeply about how business impacts society and what its social contract with society is. Anita's contribution is to encourage deep thinking and critical pedagogy to educate those who will be instrumental in solving society problems and advancing our collective future.
