The following Course Outcomes are assessed in this assignment:

GB600-3: Propose a team approach to achieve longterm business outcomes.

For the Unit 3 PowerPoint assignment, select an organization of interest to you. This may be your current or former organization or perhaps one that is frequently in the news. Chapter 9 of the text (DuBrin, 2019) provides a framework for understanding the leaders role in team-based organizations and differentiates between actions that can be taken at the organizational level, the leader level, and the individual level. In addition, Chapter 12 provides you with an opportunity to learn about your personal conflict resolution style.

Checklist:

  • Introduction section: Introduce the reason you are proposing a team approach by identifying the long-term business goal you desire to achieve through teamwork.
  • Actions for the organization level: (see DuBrin text, Table 9-1)
    • Identify which of the seven actions are appropriately established and which need to be revised or developed.
    • Propose recommendations for policy and structure changes to better enable the successful deployment of a team approach.
  • Actions at the leader level: (see DuBrin text, Table 9-1)
