About this lesson

You'll explore how team membership, leadership environment, and working culture affect harmony across the organisation, then discover Handy's framework for building effective teams—examining the givens, intervening factors, and outcomes that determine success. The video also covers Steiner's four models of group functioning (additive, conjunctive, disjunctive, and complementary), helping you choose the right approach for different project tasks. Finally, you'll examine common team problems like groupthink and conformity, and learn how to design reward systems and motivation strategies that strengthen collective performance rather than undermine it through excessive individual incentives. This is essential knowledge for anyone managing project personnel and building high-performing teams within a wider organisational context.
