Participatory Decision Making

About

Teamwork is essential in the workplace, whether it is an administrative or academic context. Some of the strongest teams are those that have members from different educational backgrounds and work experiences, who are working together and aligned for a common purpose. Sometimes, our teams are across different departments or faculties, and you have to find a way to maximize all of the different expertise that exists across your team. As a formal or informal leader on your team, you may know how to recognize these strengths, but it can be a challenge to integrate them all seamlessly, especially when this pushes you and your team to approach your work, and your relationships with each other, in new ways.

Learning Outcomes 

Upon completion of this session, you will be able to:

• Apply tools to facilitate team members identification of common values and accountabilities that can guide the team’s work
