MGMT 527 Leading Project Teams Sample Papers, Week by Week

Liberty University · MS in Project Management · Business and accounting · Updated

MGMT 527 studies team-based leadership in project settings, building high-performance teams, handling conflict, motivating and empowering members, and cross-references its principles with PMBOK, reading Starbird and Cavanagh's Building Engaged Team Performance beside Lead Like Jesus Revisited. The samples follow a bridge deck crew, a dairy cooperative's systems cutover and an implant maker's three-country label revision through the forums, compare cardiac surgery teams, the Chilean mine rescue and Pixar with Columbia's final flight, and assess a water authority's capital projects division.

What MGMT 527 covers

Starbird and Cavanagh are read two chapters a week from Module/Week 1, with a single chapter in Module/Week 7 and the last two in Module/Week 8; the seven parts of Lead Like Jesus Revisited run one a week from Module/Week 2, and every module carries one presentation.

Forum threads fall in Modules/Weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7 and their replies a week later; the case paper shares Module/Week 3 with the Forum 2 thread, Test 1 falls in Module/Week 4, the team assessment in Module/Week 6 and the journal and Test 2 in Module/Week 8.

Where MGMT 527 papers lose points

MGMT 527 work slips when a thread lists qualities of good teams without a real project, when replies agree without adding evidence, when the case paper tells four stories without comparing them, and when the team assessment reports the writer's opinions instead of the organization's own evidence.

Using a MGMT 527 sample well

Beyond the two course books, the samples draw on Kozlowski and Ilgen, Mathieu and colleagues, Hoegl and Gemuenden, Edmondson and colleagues, Burke and colleagues, Jehn, Jehn and Mannix, Behfar and colleagues, Kirkman and Rosen, Seibert and colleagues, Marlow and colleagues, Cramton, Hoch and Kozlowski and Gibson and Gibbs.
