Abstract / Summary

How do student teams move from misalignment and disengagement to shared
ownership, motivation, and sustained collaboration? This session explores
engagement as a leadership responsibility rather than a student trait, drawing on
applied practice from year-long undergraduate team projects. Integrating insights
from engagement psychology, e-theory, and Agile leadership, the session
demonstrates how leaders can create conditions that support autonomy, principled
disagreement, and collective purpose. Through real-world examples and student
artefacts, attendees will gain practical insight into leading engaged, self-regulating
teams in complex learning environments.
