Collaborative leadership in team science: dynamics of sense making, decision making, and action taking
1Institute for Research in the Social Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, United States.
Abstract:
To help cross-disciplinary science teams navigate through internal and external complexities, this perspective article explores the application of three conceptual frameworks: Theory U, Divergence-Convergence Diamond, and Strategic Doing. These frameworks enable science teams to avoid common pitfalls by operationalizing collaborative leadership as iterative cycles of distributed sense making, decision making and action taking. Implications for team science practices include facilitating the process, prototyping the future and applying dynamic roles and responsibilities.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
