Developing Team Skills From Day One

In most organizations today decisions are rarely made autonomously, but rather by multi-functional teams that cross traditional boundaries.  At Binghamton , you will learn an environment similar to that of the contemporary workplace.  The ability to communicate, to take initiative and effectively motivate others is essential to team-based learning.  We have designed a learning environment that promotes effective teamwork, which translates into getting ahead in your career.  Exercises in group dynamics, interpersonal communication, and conflict resolution prepare you for various situations in the workplace, whether they call for you to be team leader or a team player.

Team skills are developed and refined from day one. The orientation program builds the framework from the very moment you arrive on campus by building a strong community of mutual support. The program starts off with intensive teambuilding, creative problem solving and social networking, as well as a review of how to maximize the benefits of the academic resources on campus.

In addition to learning the teamwork concepts, you will identify individual strengths and weaknesses in key areas of management effectiveness. This introspective exercise will provide an understanding of personal leadership style. Through this interaction during the orientation program, classmates benefit from the rich diversity of their personal and professional experiences.
