ITP 350 - Leadership, Teambuilding, and Facilitation


An exploration of topics related to leadership, team building, group dynamics, and an introduction to the practices and goals of successful facilitation of face-to-face groups and virtual meetings. Teambuilding topics include member and group participant types and functions; stages to teambuilding; creating and building teams; dysfunctions and conflicts within teams and groups; and teams in the roles of content controllers. Leadership emphasis is placed on foundational principles, capabilities and practices that help leaders self-manage, engage and influence diverse team members, and generate shared commitment for team and project success. The course explores various contexts, motivations and paths that evoke leadership in technology through a series of case studies and exercises in critical knowledge areas and skills required of technology leaders. Facilitation topics include developing techniques and skills in the role of a meeting facilitator and process leader, identifying and defining individual participant behaviors and how those interrelationships affect team dynamics, developing and designing facilitation agendas, preparing and performing facilitations, facilitating conflict, creating participation, and meeting management and ethical responsibilities.
