Team Academy: Leadership and Teams

Within Entrepreneurship Education, Team Academy is seen by some as an innovative pedagogical model that enhances social connectivity, as well as experiential, student-centred and team-based learning. It also creates spaces for transformative learning to occur.

In this book, the third book in the four part Routledge Focus on Team Academy series, the contributors explore the concepts of leadership and teams in the context of TA. Topics including the way in which learners attempt to navigate the complexity of leadership and team dynamics, whilst understanding their place and impact on the processes involved, will be examined.

This book is aimed at academics, practitioners, and learners engaged in the Team Academy methodology, pedagogy, and model, as well as those interested in the area of entrepreneurial team learning. Readers will be inspired to innovate in their delivery methodologies and to explore learning-by-doing approaches to creating value. The book also aims to challenge the discourse around entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activities, offering insights, research, stories, and experiences from those learning and working in the Team Academy approach.
