Everybody’s leadership quality should be explored (Everybody gets turn to be in charge);
Create the case studies and encourage the debate and discussion on different opinions;
Team or group concept will be dynamic, means each class group is formed by different people each time (or reshuffling for better outcome);
To resolve the conflict, the leader should resume the discussion first, then the group member vote for the decision. If there is tie, the leader will make the final decision;
Collaboration should be part of the grading to motivate a good team work.

Guide line of team work

1. Team members should communicate through email, msn, or face-to-face when the deadline arises. Given everyone’s scheduling differences, real time meeting is not truly necessary.

2. Team leader should be decided depending on the project. Whoever fits the description for the given project will take the lead.

3. Team fund will be established. By the end of each project, gift certificates will be given to the best performer. Meetings will be held to discuss problems areas and to determine why that the person least performed. Team members will show respect to one another. Blaming is not allowed.

4. We will not evaluate other individual’s work, but will held meetings to discuss what worked and what didn’t.

5. Conflicts will be resolved by thorough discussions with every team member. When needed, the team leader will make the final decision; take the conflict out of their hands.

6. Ideas are shared between team members. No one will need to copy off another member’s work.

7. Msn and GoogleDoc are standard communication tools.

8. The team work as one, stand as one, fail as a whole.

9. Conflicts and problems should never separate the team members. Instead, they unite them
