PDC72004 - Leading Physical and Virtual Teams

Course Details

Course Summary

This online short course focuses on leadership and teams. We will use Belbin’s Team Roles as our approach when we look at what it means to lead a physical team, what the challenges are, and what kind of leadership is needed. Belbin’s Team Roles take into account how people behave when in a group and uses that to select the right people for the team, and then what their role within the team will be. We are looking at personalities, not skills, as the basis of good physical teams. We will then look at virtual teams which are now a fact of life, so how to work with them is becoming crucial. You will explore the challenges of leading virtual teams and learn about ways to motivate and optimise performances.

Study Mode Definitions

  • Online: Online courses provide the flexibility to study without normally requiring a student to visit a campus. Course content is studied through a number of means including the use of online discussion forums, electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers and teachers, and receiving study materials online/electronically. Work integrated learning, including placements, may be included in some courses.
  • On-campus: Students studying in on-campus mode typically are expected to attend and participate in regular, structured on-campus teaching and learning activities throughout the University’s academic term. These activities may include lectures, tutorials, workshops and practice, online or other activities and normally will be timetabled at a CQUniversity campus or approved delivery site.
  • Mixed Mode: Students studying in mixed mode will participate in a combination of online learning activities in addition to site-specific learning activities, which may include residential schools, co-op placements and/or work-integrated learning as a compulsory requirement of a unit. The additional site-specific learning activities are what differentiates a mixed-mode unit from an online unit.
