| Course Name: | Self-Directed Work Teams |
| Course Credits: | 3 |
| Course Description: | This course is designed to explore the benefits of self directed teams. Self directed work teams make many structural and operational decisions, including compensation and rewards, scheduling, maintenance, inventory control, data management, training and others that previously made by line supervisors. Self-directed work trams represent an approach to organizational design that goes beyond quality circles or ad hoc problem- solving teams. These teams are natural work groups that work together to perform a function or produce a product or service. They not only do the work but also take on the management of that work-functions formerly performed by supervisors and managers. This strategy allows managers to teach, coach, develop and facilitate rather than simply direct and control. |
