“…Various studies on the IGPLST programme indicate its success in developing interpersonal communication skills and a meaningful purpose in life, both on short-and long-term spans. West and Kirkland (1986) describe how the Bermuda College Guidance Office introduced a life-skills course for full-time students as a required component of their studies. The goal of the one-semester course, adapted from a multimedia educational package, was to assist students in becoming more aware of their interpersonal skills and their impact on relationships with others.…”

“…Both refer to group-level cognitions; however, these mechanisms apply to teamwork in general rather than specifically to team creative problem-solving. As members spend more time with each other and engage in teamwork, SMM, TMS, and reflexivity improve (DeChurch & Mesmer-Magnus, 2010;West, 1996). These team cognitions mechanisms can, in turn, facilitate individual and team creative processes.…”

Expanding existing meeting typologies, this paper introduces a model of the team creative process in meetings to better capture and study the full breath of meeting activity that results in creative outcomes. The primary goal of this work is to describe the processes that occur in the team creative process in meetings at the individual and team levels. A multi-level model that depicts the emergence of team creative cognitive processes from individual-level cognitions is presented. The nature of emergence of team creative processes is detailed. Research on creativity and meetings is integrated to better understand how meeting design characteristics influence creative output. This review of research is distilled to provide practical recommendations to best construct meetings to facilitate individual and team creativity. Additionally, the role of related team states in creative processes meetings is outlined. Finally, paths for future research on creativity in meetings are discussed. Plain Language Summary This article explores how individuals and teams think creatively in meetings. A model of meetings that have goals to produce creative outcomes is presented. The association between individual thinking processes and group thinking processes is presented alongside a discussion of relevant surrounding influences. Research on creative thinking and workplace meetings is used to better understand how meetings can be used to improve creativity. Practical recommendations to improve the production of creative outcomes in meetings are also provided.

“…30 Finally, a recovery orientation may be associated with team autonomy, team collaboration, involvement in decisions, and with team reflexivity, as well as the capacity of teams to adapt their objectives, strategies, and processes to current or anticipated circumstances. 40 Regarding team emergent states, recovery-oriented services were associated with higher job satisfaction among MH professionals as well as multifocal identification, which is viewed as the potential of professionals to identify with both their team and profession. 35,41,42 Research has also identified the importance of work role performance, or the capacity of teams to produce effective outcomes.…”

While mental health (MH) services are expected to support client recovery, very little is known about services provided by MH teams in relation to this goal. This study explored relationships between a comprehensive collection of team effectiveness variables and the perspectives of MH professionals regarding the recovery orientation of their teams. A model developed by path analysis revealed eight team-related variables that were significantly and positively associated with recovery-oriented teams: primary care versus specialized MH services; greater proportions of clients with severe mental disorders or with suicide ideation on caseloads; knowledge sharing and knowledge production among team members; team climate; work role performance; and trust in coworkers. Results underline the importance of building knowledge and professional competence on MH teams, and the need for a positive team climate that offers flexibility and innovation for addressing the complex needs of people in MH recovery living in the community.
