Overview/Description
Yogi Berra once said, "The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." While the quote is just one of Mr. Berra's many adages, it does provide a clue to the importance the legendary baseball coach placed on effective teamwork. Teamwork is no less important in the Six Sigma® world. In fact, more than one Six Sigma expert has stated unequivocally that without effective teamwork, a process improvement project will fail. So how is effective teamwork ensured? The best way is by understanding Six Sigma team dynamics--that is, the way in which team members work together and interact. The more that team members understand team dynamics, the greater the team's collective performance is likely to be. This course, Six Sigma Team Dynamics and Performance, is a guide for understanding and improving Six Sigma teamwork. You'll learn about team member roles, responsibilities, and interaction styles, as well as methods for resolving team and people problems. In addition, you'll learn about that all-important organization gathering, the team meeting. Specifically, you'll learn which factors lead to successful meetings, and how to collectively organize and choose group ideas.
