Bob Sproule, School Of Accounting & Finance University Of Waterloo Our Waterloo students spend literally one week on each of the major functional areas of a business. In addition we spend a few weeks on other related topics: globalization, role of government in business, teamwork, types of business organizations and ethics and corporate social responsibility. In our coverage of teamwork we start by walking through some of the research done by J. Richard Hackman on this subject. We then look at a video featuring John Chambers, CEO of CISCO discussing their implementation of teamwork. Next we move through a discussion of the stages of team development. Then we move into a discussion of being an effective team member looking at individual differences that exist between team members, how to be a good listener, and then look at the subject of feedback. We then look at the League Of Rock Documentary and discuss three issues: how are the teams participating in this event "real", what sort of enabling mechanisms are provided in this team building experience and what supportive context is provided (which all tie back to the earlier coverage of J. Richard Hackman). In this course students do a lot of team work and so they have the practical opportunity to see and practice what we talk about in this module. “The League Of Rock Team Building Documentary serves as a great example of an innovative approach to the development of team skills, re-enforcing the important of this skill set in the workplace”.

Univ. Of San Francisco :: Endorsement Dr. Ronald Pursor, Prof. Of Management As Professor of Management at San Francisco State University, I have directed my students to learn how team-building can be a fun and engaging experience by viewing the work created at the League Of Rock by Terry Moshenberg and Topher Stott. In my online course on Management, thousands of my students have watched and commented on the lively video documentaries where the League Of Rock used their highly innovative approach to team-building, including an in-depth case of this application at Unilever. Music brings people together; League Of Rock’s creative approach to team- building is on the leading edge of arts-based management training. My students are amazed and impressed by what they see happening at the League Of Rock, and are turned on to the ideas that team-building can be fun and exciting—which leads to results. As one student recently commented in an online discussion: “This is an amazing approach to team building and leadership. It is upbeat and hip, and helps employees to engage in training that they usually dislike attending. Personally, from watching the documentary, I believe it works because the learning process is innovative, fun, and highly interactive. The League Of Rock facilitators inspire the group by allowing them to think out of the box. This process allows people to improve their group dynamics and come together with their unique strengths to work as a stronger unit. In Corporations, everyone is used to the same type of work day in and day out—but this approach really brings a breath of fresh air.” Ronald E.
