On September 9th, Professor Neal Hartman, the senior lecturer in Managerial Communication at the MIT Sloan School of Management, was invited to deliver the first lecture to our 2017 IMBA freshmen, teaching how to work with teams and play team roles.

Prof. Neal Hartman divided the lecture into two parts: self-diagnosis and team-cooperation, using mixed teaching methods of survey, group discussion, and case study to demonstrate team formation theory. Introducing Belbin Model, Prof. Neal Hartman identified eight distinct roles: resource investigator, coordinator, shaper, plant, implementer, monitor evaluator, team worker and completer finisher. In the second part of lecture, he gives students “Lost in sea” case, and helps each group to overcome contradictions and form the team.

All of the students immerse themselves in the lecture, and earn benefits from the lecture.
MIT lecture is one of the vital constitutions of MIT Sloan Lecture series. There will come more international curriculums and lectures for IMBA students in their next two years study.
