SDLA 214 Talent Management

Building a high performing team is the goal of leaders. A team is defined as a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. The desired outcome is a team that can achieve true interdependency and recognize that they cannot complete their mission without the special abilities that each brings to the arrangement. To foster entrepreneurial and innovative mindsets we learn how to manage diverse work groups to produce more and better ideas that encourage innovation when developing products and work processes. Team Leadership AND Management skills include: establishing a team with the right mix of skills and personalities, creating a culture that promotes collaborative work, focus on diagnosing and overcoming common problems that impeded team progress, and learning to take corrective measure to remove team problems and improve team performance. Virtual team management is also targeted identifying the formation and structure of virtual teams to build trust and keeping the team on track.
