The ability to function on, or lead, a team is vital to success in the non-profit sector. It can produce results far superior to that which any individual could achieve alone. This course will teach students team theory and give the opportunity to apply it so they can learn how to manage themselves while: working effectively with those reporting to them including staff, volunteers, and suppliers, collaborate with those at the same level including co-workers and volunteers in their own teams and in parallel teams (referred to as horizontal management), co-operate with those above them, including supervisors, employers, volunteers (particularly those who are donors, come from the corporate sector, or are influential community leaders) and board members (particularly when the board members are serving in a non-board capacity as volunteers on a project).
