Collaboration and Team Science: Mindset Matters
Michelle Bennett, Ph.D.
Team Science, the convergence of different disciplines, is essential today for addressing our most complex scientific challenges. But there is more to successful collaboration than assembling scientific experts. There is strong data to support a need for the team to focus on both the science as well as the team functioning, or relationships, to be maximally effective. Strong relationships and personal well-being, in the context of the team, make important contributions to overall team productivity. Team scientists are also beginning to better understand the importance of individual and team mindset as a driving force for both the behaviors and the results the team gets. The Team Effectiveness Model for Science (TEMS) provides a framework for understanding the value of the mutual learning mindset as the core for the team, upon which they can then develop team-specific scientific and relationship mindsets in support of their work together. TEMS helps answer the question of how a team can benefit from the multiple dimensions of diversity, essential for creativity and innovation, without those same differences undermining the teams functioning and performance.
This webinar will be recorded.
