“The strength of the team is each individual member.  The strength of each individual member is the team.”

 

Task:

Your task is to write an essay on the following:

 

• Using the quote (above) discuss what makes an effective team.
• Evaluate (compare and contrast) examples of where team dynamics have worked well and where team dynamics have worked against effective outcomes. Use the theories presented in the Unit and research to argue your case.

 

The topic is broad enough for you to focus and build your argument how you decide. There is an expectation that the essay will be well grounded in the literature and will ‘tell a coherent story’.  But remember the focus here is on team dynamics.
