Flow is a means to creativity and high performance that can be harnessed by teams. Team flow is related positively to measures of positive work experiences, subjective well-being, and team positivity.

Team flow is a strong indicator that a group is flourishing, and its absence can suggest a need for intervention long before problems (e.g., low performance, low motivation) arise. This means that the presence or absence of team flow can become a valuable diagnostic, and observing which aspects of the construct are missing can provide clues to what needs adjusting.

This course is based on the 2016 dissertation, Team Flow from Concept to Application , by Jef van den Hout, from Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands.
