The Science of Teams (TSoT) - Theory

One of the top struggle leaders face is learning how to articulate a vision and communicate a philosophy in a way that motivates and inspires people and moves a team forward to a common goal.

What if I told you that there was more to being a leader and to organizing people than the classic halftime football speech you see in sports movies?

What if there were a science that existed, that you could learn quickly, that provides a repeatable organizing framework that helps leaders organize teams of people to be more efficient, better prepared, in harmony with their work, and be more productive?

Well there is, it is called The Science of Teams, and it uses analytical models to help a leader work through what they want their teams to achieve and how to explain it in simple and impactful terms. This course serves as an introduction to the science of teams and the team solution algorithm so you can see if it is right for you and gain an understanding of significant tools you can add to your leadership tool-belt.

The Science of Teams (TSoT) is an original scientific framework for analyzing “systems of people”, or what are frequently called “teams”, and finding ways to better organize them to improve team output without negatively impacting team efficiencies or increasing a team’s costs.

Professionals interested in TSoT includes leaders and aspiring leaders at all organizational levels: individual contributors, supervisors, managers, directors, department heads, project managers, human resource professionals, and anyone tasked with producing outputs using people and seeking a best-practice functional technical framework.

This is the first of two courses. This course focuses on the theory behind TSoT the second course, "The Science of Teams - Practice" reviews putting the theory into practice.
