The importance of developing self awareness and building individual and team skills, for future academic study, employability, and personal achievement, cannot be underestimated.
Personal and Team Effectiveness is one of your core first year modules within the Business School and a great way to begin developing your own personal and team skills as part of your business management studies.
The module aims to help you identify, diagnose, develop and reflect upon a range of skills for effective personal, team, and team leader performance, and to introduce you to some of the key academic theories and individuals which/who have helped to inform and shape the way we think about business and management today.
