Workshop Name: Teamwork 2.0
Workshop Facilitator:
- Brent French, Adjunct Teaching Professor of Organizational Behavior, Foisie Business School
Workshop Description:
The first part of the 21st century is the golden age of small, autonomous teams solving Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) challenges. Too often teams fail to achieve elite status because of dysfunctional dynamics and the misapplication of 20th century methods. Using lessons from a three decade military career leading elite units as a Ranger-qualified member of Air Force Special Operations Command, athletic performance and coaching at an international level, and nearly a decade of teaching teamwork and leadership to WPI and Naval War College students, this hour-long workshop offers practical insights on creating an apex team experience.
