To illustrate the importance of team dynamics, John Paul Stephens, PhD, invited an unusual group of guests to his class on Managing Organizations and People (MGMT 250). The Cavani String Quartet, ensemble-in-residence at the Cleveland Institute of Music, led the class in a series of exercises designed to promote communication among team members.

You can read about the lesson, and hear portions of the Cavani’s performance for the class, on the Case Western Reserve University web site.

Cavani presented its Ground Breaking Management Strategies presentation, Coaching Strategies and Techniques: Building Empowered and Collaborative Teams by Applying Principles of Chamber Music Pedagogy at both the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University and the University of Tennessee’s International Business School.
