    Dear colleagues,

    I am teaching a course in Leadership for Entrepreneurial Teams, the emphasis is on leadership skills for founders and team members of start ups. 

    I am asking for suggestions on two elements of the course:

    1 - I would like to include in the first lecture with team activity to provoke a conversation about team dynamics; I was going to use the Marshmallow challenge but I have discovered another colleague is using it in another module. Does anyone have a nice tried and tested team activity that can provide team members with similar insights about team work and leadership?

    2 - The final assignment (100% of the mark) is a team project. I was thinking to give students a project that allowed them to show how they have worked in their teams, how they have dealt with different skills, how they have coped with team members differences and perhaps with potential conflicts. Does any one have an example?

    In case I receive a variety of suggestions I am happy to put them together and circulate to the list.

    Best,
    Zahira
