Assessment Criteria 3.1

Analyze team dynamic, discussing the roles people play in a team and how they can work together to achieve shared goals.

Team dynamic is a communicational relationship between groups of members in a group which is assigned for connected tasks for a company. Dynamics are affected by member’s activities and their responsibilities and they all have direct result on company’s productivity. Team dynamic means companies members behavior how they are working together to achieve a common goal in their company. Team consists of different types of people in a company, their opinion and views can be different but their goals must have to be same. Various factors can influence team dynamic such as member’s personalities, behavior and how that team operates. In a team dynamic something’s must have to be include such as friendship, Office layout, Organizational culture, Processes, Tools and communication as well. Because some people should like to work be their own, some should like to help from technology, and some needs inspiration some people needs cheers. But basic thing is that in a group communication plays a big role. That means communication and team goals they are inextricably involved. In BIBBY Company’s case study it has been seen that they are using similar applications for both research and personal use. But here if teams people use different types of applications for their research and personal use it will be easier for them to use low bandwidth within a certain time. However the application response times are extremely slow they can improve their application systems otherwise they have to use different types of application in slow bandwidth.

Different Type of Role plays in a Team
Researcher R. Meredith Belbin describes nine team roles plays in a team to achieve shared goals. Action Oriented Roles | Shaper | Challenges the team to improve. | | Implementer | Puts ideas into actions. | | Complete Finisher | Ensures through, timely completion. | People oriented Roles | Coordinator | Acts as a chairperson. | | Team Worker | Encourages cooperation. | | Resource Investigator | Explores outside opportunities. | Thought Oriented Roles | Plant | Presents new ideas and approaches. | | Monitor-Evaluator | Analyzes the options. | | Specialist | Provides specialized skills. | * Shaper: In a team shaper role is facing all type of challenges in times of having problematic situations. They maintain positive attitude among all the team members to achieve the goals facing the problems.

* Implementer: People who plays implementer role in a team they make sure that things have to be done in team. They are practical, well-organized and experienced. Implementer turns ideas in a tem to thing done properly. * Complete Finisher: Completer person they have an eye for all details. They sort out all the tiny problems in a team; they lead a team to finish their job within deadline.

* Coordinator: Coordinator role seems like traditional role by nature. They are very good listener at all, they understand what’s going on in a company, they listen and observe all the problematic things in a company, their main duty is understanding all the problems help the members to achieve the goals within sort out the problems.

How all the people in team can work together to achieve a goal-

* Behavior-After working in a team, any team member can easily understand another person’s behavior. Such as, in an engineering company there is one person who always tries to take chance to do the best, another one always try to take help from another person.

* Responsibilities- If in a group people are working for same goal there should be some people to take some responsibilities, always they want to finish their job within deadline without any problems. They are always responsible for everything. They want to take some responsibilities by their own.

* Environment- Work place it means environment if it is not suitable for workers that time it can be a hassle for workers. Such as- BIBBY company people they are using an application for same reason, that company is an IT company, so internet bandwidth should be fine. If it is not that time work cannot be finish within time.

* Inspiration- Coordinator he is leading a team, he must be inspirable, suppose if someone is getting problem to do some task, coordinator must have to support him instated of saying that oh! U cannot do this; he should have to inspire that person, yeah! You can do this, take some rest u will be fine.

* Communication- In a team work all stages people have to be communicating, they have to communicate from top level to down. Suppose the owner if he think I am an owner it does not make any sense that I will talk with my workers, I am paying them so why should I talk them, and they should avoid this mentality.

Alternative ways to complete task and achieve team goals

The alternative ways to complete task and achieve team goals, Such as

* Team Work and Its Importance: In a group people are working to achieve a goal, so all of them have to be responsible to do their task. They have to think about their company not about their self. They have to do this task by thinking that they are doing their own things.

* Extra Hours- in BIBBY company people they are working for an IT company. Their bandwidth is really slow, the owner of that company he can give extra hours to his workers to finish that job in time.

* One Team One Goal- In any company teams its knew to every person. So they can have team. So it means that for one team their goal must have to be one. Such as- in BIBY company they got only one team, and they are doing the same, if they could have two teams, one team could do use the application and other could find out another ways to get rid of their problems.

* Extra pay- In every company salary is fixed. If company gets any deal from another company, owner should have declared that if they get the deal he will give extra pay to the involved people.

* Bonus- Worker must be bore to get the same pay for certain time, for getting something better from workers owner should have to give bonus to his employee.

* Promotion- In work place promotion plays a big role, if any worker ig doing good job and owner want to get better things from that worker then he must have to promote that worker in next level, by this he will get inspiration and he will give his best.

Differences between Team and Group

By Katzenbach and Smith (1993) description team is - “A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.”
By this definition it can be say that team is that which is structurally organized, with different types of goals, it’s not fixed that they have to work in a same place with same goals. For example- Football team.
Another hand group is fixed of collection of people to do something common, their goal is same even their work place as well. For example- Project for a company.
