Building and Leading Your Team Jeff Goldberg College of Engineering University of Arizona March, 29 2016 1COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING College Values 2 COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Key Tips – Team Formation• Stick to the values and choose people on the team that believe/follow the values• People count every $ you spend on administration and central services – be prepared with performance metrics if you decide to expand• Fire Fast – Hire Slow and pick your battles strategically. It is better to broaden the team than to expect people to do things they do not do well• This is a marathon, not a sprint – the College will still be there
