Leadership development is on the forefront of grantmaker and capacity builders' minds, particularly as organizations navigate the current realities they face. This webinar was for experienced capacity builders who are interested in exploring coaching as a leadership development strategy. CompassPoint shared what they have learned about how coaching can help nonprofit leaders succeed along with highlights from the Coaching and Philanthropy Project and their own work incorporating coaching into several leadership development programs.
In today’s world, almost everything is accomplished by
teams. Large companies often use project teams that
span the globe. Small companies use teams to ensure
that their products and services reach their customers.
Non‐profit organizations put teams together to accomplish
goals. Instructors teach and develop curriculum
in teams, and work in teams with counselors, administrators,
and other academic employees. Government
workers from local to national levels work in teams.
Aware of the importance of working with others, academic
institutions have increased the teamwork component
of many courses, and students work together
both in person and online to create documents, put
together presentations, and complete projects.
The prime advantage to working in teams is the
ability to combine skills and talents. An academic or
work team benefits from a wide array of skills that no
single student or employee could possess alone, from
analytical skills to marketing skills to technical skills
and everything in between. Complex projects at school
or in the workplace demand all of these skills, especially when things need to get done in
a specific time frame.
This PPT is a tool to help focus a team / group / or stakeholders into a high performance team. It concentrates on results, commitment, processes, communication, and trust.
I created this tool as a means to transition a team through the four stages of team maturity: forming, storming, forming, and performing.
To go fast, go alone. To go far, go together.

A team is a collection of people with complementary skills who regularly interact to pursue common goals.

2012 ASTD MS Annual State-wide Symposium
Breakout Session 1 by Wanda J. Freeland, S.M.A.R.T. Performance Solutions.
June 14, 2012. The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Park Campus.
To find out what makes a management team effective, we studied more than 500 members of 72 management groups in both business and government. The teams were surveyed using the Team Effectiveness Assessment for Management (TEAM), an instrument developed specifically to assess management groups. Teams rated in the top 25% on these effectiveness measures were compared with those in the bottom 25% to determine which characteristics differentiated successful from unsuccessful teams.

The Long-Term Effects of Exposure to Low Doses of Lead in Childhood - 1991Marion Sills
Lead in food, particularly in processed food, is a major source of overall lead intake in the entire population. Lead contaminates food through the deposition of airborne lead, the use of lead-bearing water and equipment in processing, the use of lead-based solders in canning, and contact with serving vessels glazed with lead-containing compounds. In 1986, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) attributed most of the contribution to atmospheric deposition (50 percent) and solder (42 percent).1 We have analyzed Food and Drug Administration data from the 1982-1983 and 1984-1985 Total Diet Studies (based on an analysis of market baskets) to ascertain whether solder and other lead sources — for example, gasoline additives — remain important sources of lead in the U.S. food supply. Since the early 1980s, voluntary food-industry programs to replace lead solder were assumed to be sufficient to protect the food supply. However, about 20 percent of domestically filled food cans are still soldered with lead.2
In the United States, the impetus to ban lead additives in motor vehicle fuels has been delayed on the grounds that leaded fuels are important for farm vehicles. Plants grown near highways and other sources of lead are significantly contaminated largely by surface deposition). Despite EPA efforts to phase out leaded gasoline, first- and second-quarter figures for 1988 show that leaded gasoline accounts for nearly 20 percent of the gas sold in the United States.3 The declining use of lead solder and gasoline additives is reflected in reductions of lead contamination in food over the years 1982 through However, the FDA data indicate that these two sources of lead in food are still problems. Of the 234 categories in the 1982-1983 and 1984-1985 market-basket surveys, we found seven pairs for which the only difference was whether or not the foods were canned. Lead levels in the canned samples (Table 1TABLE 1
Lead Levels in Canned and Fresh-Frozen Food.
) were on average more than 29 times higher than those in fresh-frozen samples of the same food in 1982-1983; by 1984-1985 this value had declined to 14. All the pairs fell within the "produce" classification of the U.S. Department of Agriculture; however, we found similar ratios of the average lead levels in canned to those in fresh-frozen food in other USDA categories (Table 2TABLE 2
Average Lead Levels in Canned and Fresh-Frozen Food.
).4
On the basis of the USDA's average daily intake figures for each of the categories shown in Table 2, a person consuming canned products from each category whenever the option existed would have a daily lead intake of 107 and 40 Μg in 1982-1983 and 1984-1985, respectively. For a person who avoided canned foods whenever possible, daily dietary lead intake would have decreased fivefold (from 107 to 26 μg) in 1982-1983 and to less than threefold (40 to 17.4 Μg) in 1984-1985. This illustrates the importance of continuing efforts to reduce the use of lead solde
