Course Description
Do you know how to make team decisions? It can be challenging to consider everyone’s perspectives, but making decisions as a group can often be beneficial. We all have unique ways of functioning on a team in the workplace because we each have different collaboration styles. Because those differing styles can impact productivity and team culture, it’s important to understand the kinds of collaborative styles and how they interact with one another. Collaborative decision-making is vital for any team. Collaboration allows team members to discuss optimal solutions and alternatives, finding new ways to view an issue. Because many team members or even the whole team are involved, they invest more energy into and pay more attention to coming up with solutions and making decisions.
