This article chronicles the unique manner in which a second-year MBA elective course in managing teams has been crafted using existing first-year learning teams as its core. The design and orchestration of this course are detailed, as are the challenges posed, in delivering a course that not only teaches about teams and team dynamics but does so integrating first- and second-year MBA experiences. Recognizing that some features are specific to the MBA context in which this course was designed, this article also offers the underlying generalizable and adaptable features for other teams' courses.
