My only comment today is that, at some point in our lives, we have to work with others - this makes for team work. The saying goes something like, "No man is an island" and how better to learn than to work together. Sharing tasks, dreams, responsibilities and realities.

Optimising team performance and developing team leaders through the use of movement, music and storytelling is the focus of a new course launched at the UCT Graduate School of Business (GSB). The programme, a first of its kind, was developed by the Executive Education unit at UCT and is aimed at harnessing creative expression as a means to develop dynamic team performance. The course was developed in response to research that indicated teams and team leaders did not realise the important role they can play in an organisation.

The course was developed in response to research that indicated teams and team leaders did not realise the important role they can play in an organisation.
According to research, teams have the potential to deliver better performance than individuals.Elaine Rumboll, director of the unit, said the course, Creative Tools for Optimising Team Performance, will equip team leaders with an understanding of team creativity and build the tools needed to access this creativity. Rumboll said the course borrowed extensively from the creative arts because they wanted to produce fresh ways of operating within organisations. The course will be facilitated by an experienced team who have skills in ceramics, performing arts, music, movement, story-telling and poetry. Organisational development consultant Liz de Wet, facilitator of the course, said participants will get a range of practical tools that they can take away and utilise in their own team contexts.
