Abstract

The demand for high-quality team leadership education continues to increase. While many post-secondary leadership education programs have incorporated teamwork skills into their curriculum, there has been limited awareness of how team-focused leadership courses are being updated and adapted in response to emerging research and insights on team effectiveness. This panel session explores team-focused leadership education at multiple institutions and examines teamwork pedagogy in light of recent scholarship on best practices. Specifically, panelists will discuss the root causes of the persisting teamwork skills gap among college graduates, the benefits and pitfalls of utilizing team-based pedagogy, and course content changes from emerging theories, such as followership and shared leadership.
