Topic, "The Science of Teamwork: What Effective Teams Do, Think, and Feel"

Hi. This month we will have a fascinating discussion at our Cafe Sci at
7PM on Wednesday 6 February, at Taste, in College Park.

Teamwork has become a way of life in many industries, agencies, and
organizations. But, what do we know about teamwork, team leaders, and
team effectiveness after decades of research? Professor Salas will
highlight what we know about the science and practice of teamwork and
team leadership. The talk will provide HR executives, managers and
practitioners with valuable practical insights about what contributes
to team effectiveness in organizations.

Eduardo Salas is University Trustee Chair and Pegasus Professor of
Psychology at the University of Central Florida (UCF). He also holds an
appointment as Program Director for Human Systems Integration Research
Department at UCF’s Institute for Simulation & Training. Previously, he
was a Senior Research Psychologist and Head of the Training Technology
Development Branch of NAVAIR-Orlando for 15 years.
