Additional questions for ART Leaders
9. In what ways did members of your teams exercise leadership (this
is intended as an objective question rather than subjective it is not
intended to mention individual names)?
Given the nature of our project, that is the focus was on specific courses,
individual course coordinators led the direction of change and improvement
for their courses. In addition, the course coordinators consulted, communicated
and led their team members to enact this change. Finally,
individual course coordinators were able to encourage, support and
provide input to the others.
10. In what ways can leadership within teams, such as your ART,
be supported and enhanced?
Leadership can be supported through the provision of resources in terms
of time and funds to trial initiatives or provide research assistance. It is also
important to provide acknowledgement for the contribution that these
teams can make.
11. How can leaders of ARTs be better supported and enhanced?
As above. In addition, there needs to be acknowledgement within the
University promotion system for the value and the contribution of these roles.
