| Abstract: | This article deals with the theory and practice of teamwork in 'top management teams' (hereafter as: t-m-ts.) in U.K. higher education (here as: h-e.) institutions (as: insts). Presented are some key findings from a recent 2-year research project sponsored by the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education examining the different ways in which U.K. h-e. insts. organize their 'top management' and 'senior management' structures (Kennie and Woodfield, 2008). Discussed is the literature from the corporate and h-e. sectors on the meaning of 'teamwork' in t-m-ts. The findings to the challenges of t-m-ts. working in h-e. settings are refered. It is concluded that the challenges of t-m-ts. working in h-e. settings are similar to those found in the corporate sector etc. |
