...Team Building First let’s define the word team. Team is a group of people with a common, collective goal. A team is not based on one person. Like the saying “There is no 'I' in TEAM”. Forming successful teams can become a challenge. It’s a challenge because you have to get all the right people in one group. A bad apple can spoil the whole group. To have a successful team, a leader must have background knowledge of everyone on the team so that he will be able to help each one in a respectable manner, and it will help also later if a problem might occur among them. Team Building plays an important role in the workplace. Some team building experiences are successful and some are unsuccessful. Team building incorporates team work. Team work is when employees put aside their personal goals and preferences and work together cooperatively to achieve the team’s goal. Team Building also forms friendships and trust between employees. When the team is on the same page, everything runs smoothly. The steps a team leader takes to select workable teammates for a project can be challenging and frustrating task. Leaders should follow the four steps to create an effective team building: 1. Assess, 2. Plan, 3. Execute, 4. Evaluate. Step 1: Assess the teams developmental needs base on strengths and weaknesses by creating a lists with different categories. Step 2: Plan team-building activities based on the needs identified; referring to the entire no’s the team had. Step 3: Execute the planned...

...It is through my observation, which I gained great insight with regards to the flow of the meeting and the overall behavioral influence that individual attitudes have upon the impact of the group's effectiveness. The purpose of the weekly meetings is to raise awareness with regards to how the group is doing individually and as a team through constructive criticism. It is through these meeting that the group is enabled to discuss a variety of issues that may arise throughout the week while providing feedback with regards to lessons learned and how they can provide better customer service while employing the company’s core values. The mission of the group meetings enables the team to engage and discuss an array of items that include ways to enhance our job performance while focusing on the self “individual” and the group as a team. In addition, each employee is encouraged to voice their concern of what they are experiencing with regards to the field employees and how they can assist them. The overall goal is to allow the employees to engage one another to build upon team work and to enhance communication. In addition, these meetings allow the team to forecast what obstacles and hurdles they may...

...Ethics Case: "A Good Team Player" 1) Describe the factual situation Steven, a staff accountant in the accounts payable section, is confident that he knows the “ins” and “outs” of the bureaucratic organization he works in. Kristin, a new manager of accounts payable, no non-sense type of manager, Kristin was experienced and determined to perform her new assignment with the same vigor that had brought her so much success throughout her career. Steven believes people seem to gain promotions and have the opportunity to work overtime based on who likes them rather than the quality of their work. As a result, Steven who is dissatisfied with what he senses are political machinations that have influenced managerial decision making within his firm, suggests to Kristin that things would be better if the political could be stopped. Kristin uses the power of her new position to get Steven to give her the names of the bad team players or else she will start to think he is part of the problem. Steven, stunned, cannot think of a way to respond. 2) Identify the possible courses of action. There are three possible courses of action that I can take away from this situation. One situation involves Steven and the company, and one that involves Steven only. 1. Steven would be to respond Kristin's demands and give her the names of the bad team players. By doing this, it would benefit himself in the long run and will allow the company to better their work force. 2. Steven...

...HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH PERFROMANCE TEAMS High-performance teams have the following special characteristics that allow them to excel at teamwork and achieve special performance advantages: * The right mix of skills, including technical skills, problem-solving and decision-making skills, and interpersonal skills. * Strong core values that help guide their attitudes and behaviors in directions consistent with the team’s purpose. * Ability to turn a general sense of purpose into specific performance objectives. * Standards for measuring results and obtaining performance feedback * Willingness to help group members understand the need for collective vs. individual efforts. THE TEAM BUILDING PROCESS When newly founded, work groups and teams must master challenges as members come together and begin the process of growing and working together as they pass through the various stages of group development.

Team building is participatory and data based. The goal of team building is to get good answers to such questions as: 1. “How well are we doing in terms of task accomplishment.” 2. “How satisfied are we as individual members with the group and the way it operates?” TEAM-BUILDING ALTERNATIVES Formal...

...In case scenario number one, the psychiatric nurse was being aggressive. Her choice of words and communication style were inappropriate, unprofessional, and rude. This situation required intervention from management including counseling with psychiatric nurse on respectful and tactful communication. The staff RN clearly does not value the input of the CNA and has no respect for his position or duties. Without teamwork and collaboration of all staff, there will be a breakdown in communication resulting in poor patient care. Rashad was trying to clarify his role and responsibilities through passive communication. Due to the aggressive response made by another team member, Rashad likely felt unappreciated and angered by the lack of respect and condescending commentary from his team member. Rashad should discuss this with management and express his concerns and feelings regarding the inconsideration and demeaning behavior from staff RN. Rashad’s after thoughts of sabotage and insubordination are passive aggressive. This type of communication is indirect and ineffective in problem solving. Aggressive communication can create a hostile work environment, untrusting relationships, and low morale. This type of communication creates a vicious cycle of arrogant dictatorship and indirect antagonism. When there is lack of collaboration and listening, there is little chance of a productive working relationship (Hansten & Jackson, 2009). In case scenario two, Pamela was being nonassertive...

...SAT2 Leadership - Team Evaluation 1.Identify your team’s goals. Creating a leadership; handbook was a very large and detail oriented undertaking. To complete the task at hand our team needed to be very organized and stick to a very strict plan. Our first step was to clearly define the goals for our team and delegate roles for each member. We identified the following four goals that we would accomplish by the end of our project: 1. To evaluate how essential teamwork is to be effective in successfully completing a task. 2. To apply the process of team development throughout this task and decide as a team on the best recommended means of communication to utilize and the best decision-making technique to practice. 3.

...Introduction: What is your perception about team training? In today’s turbulent environment where changes seem to be constant organizations are forced to face new challenges by accelerating and making all their activities effective. Organizations need to respond to the changes of external environment by improving quality, reducing cost and by using fully their human capital. I believe using teamwork can be a better way for improving organizational performance. Furthermore, the use of teams has expanded dramatically in response to competitive changes. It is also evident that all types of organizations including academic institutions are using teams to perform tasks. For example, in the context of Fortune listed organizations, 82% of the companies with 100 or more employees reported that they use teams (Gordon, 1992). Team training is a new way of approaching organizational challenges. The rise of team-based work structures is perhaps one of the most silent characteristics of a contemporary work places and the shift from individualized work structures to teamwork had spread through the organization (NRC 1999; West, 2004). Defining teams: Francis and Young (1979) defines a team as “an energetic group of people who are committed to achieving common objectives, who work well together and enjoy doing so, and who produce high quality results’’. Adair (1986) understands a team as “a group in which the individuals share a common aim in which the jobs and skills of each member fit...

...this is where the team members begin to deal with complex tasks and handle disagreements creatively. The group appears to be stable, motivated by team goals, and generally satisfied. (Schermerhorn, Hunt, & Osborn, 2012). This is where most of the group appears to be right now, with the exception of Mike. Mike seems to be the only one of the group not meeting expectations. An understanding of the team development stages could have assisted Christine in her leadership role, with this team, in several ways. First, if she would have focused more attention during the storming stage of group development, she might have been able to encourage Mike to be more of a team player. During the storming stage there is high tension and a lot of emotion. Cliques often form as individuals compete to impose their preference, and this can lead to some feeling left out. (Schermerhorn, Hunt, & Osborn, 2012) If Christine would have addressed the storming stage it would have put the group in a better place for the norming stage. In the norming stage team members start to come together around rules of behavior and what needs to be accomplished; it is a time of growing cooperation. (Schermerhorn, Hunt, & Osborn, 2012). Part II: Problem Identification The primary problem in this case is that Christine did not create a complete team. She has one team member that does not want to do his part of the work, communicate well with the team or participate in team meetings. According...

...Team Processes Gilbert Cortez MHA 601 Martha Plant August 12, 2013 When doing team processes in healthcare everyone must be on the same page to make the flow of systems flow smooth. Whether the team needs to be represented by a single person or multiple people everyone must communicate through the means of interventions, so that we can identify were mistakes are made and break downs in workflow occur. The three interventions identified are team design, training strategies, and leadership. Team design is important because of the individuals during nurses b’s teamwork mentioned on how they did not want to do specifics “we won’t do that again”. If people are not wanting to do specific things then other people on her team need to be cross trained. This is where training strategies falls into place to where each staff member can do different jobs. Components of team training that have the most effects on teamwork are cross-training, team coordination, and adaptation training (Salas, 2007). Nurse b explains on running around trying to get different things done to satisfy doctor’s needs. In all cases cross-training has helped out in healthcare clinics across the globe. Team cross-training is used to improve knowledge to adapt quickly in issues that arise in healthcare settings (Strang, 2012). It seems nurse b wants some structure within her team. This is where leadership as an intervention falls into place. Leadership must come up with a structure to make their team...
