Teamwork Analysis

The features of effective team performance is set up through positive leadership, this is something which is developed and nurtured. An effective team will work together, be focused and all the time supporting each other along the way to achieve and reach goals. For a team to be effective, each team member needs to be clear on their roles and responsibilities relating to their job. Team performance will be more effective if there is respect for the leader/manager and each other. They must have a good understanding towards their job role and responsibility.

1. How well is this team performing? (Scale of 1-5 effectiveness, 5 most effective). Discuss.

To improve the outcomes of my management team, I need to assess my staff. To identify the skills, knowledge, and motivation of my team, I will complete an evaluation of each member of my management team to determine their competence, skills, motivation, and confidence level utilizing

It is also easy to claim that we are great team, we are the best. Saying is a factor but results are the conclusion. A team often ends up having a great result. Sometimes there is huge coordination between team members and end up getting fewer success rates. This doesn’t mean like the team failed their task. Often results vary person to person.

The features of effective team performance are set out in Brian Tuckman’s phases of team development theory, ‘Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing.’ This outlines the phases that a team will go through in order to become effective and reach maturity. At the ‘Forming’ stage of team development individual roles and responsibilities are unclear and each member of the team is concerned to avoid conflict with each other. From this point the team will go through the ‘Storming’ phase which is when they start to conflict as individuals put forward ideas which will be challenged by others in a bid to gain power and position over others. After this the ‘Norming’ phase follows and it is at this point that individual roles are defined and accepted

If you were to generate a report card for your organization, how would you rate its performance in each of the areas? Identify strengths and areas for improvement.

Another strength of the team was our ability to come up with a range of different ideas and then working as a team to improve on the ideas, this strength was important to use because we needed to come up with a range of ideas for all of the tasks that we were involved in. if we were unable to come up with a lot of ideas for each task then we may have struggled to complete some of the tasks that we had been set, most of the tasks involved us to work as a team to discuss the ideas that each of us had, we made sure that everyone was listening and participating during each part of the task in which we had to discuss the ideas. The final strength of the team was the overall participation of the team, within all of the tasks every team members made sure that they were participating as much as possible with the role in which they had been set, if all the team members were not participating as much as possible then it could result us in failing some of the tasks that we had been set because in each task we didn’t have a big time limit in which we had to come up with ideas, put these ideas into practice and then come up with any alternative ideas that may be needed in order for us to complete the task.

I will be discussing the effectiveness of a team, I have been part of teams which have worked effectively and ineffectively together.

The team is an important component for David, therefore, excellence depends on the ability for David and the team to develop mutual goals and appreciation. This will require the development of metrics with which progress and the needed development are clearly identified.

4. What measures will be put in place to evaluate if the team is operating successfully? The team will show progress of building new project once each members finds their stride. To ensure that the team members stay on track during manufacturing, the manager will motivate throughout project and be available to ensure that all members stay on right track. Performance evaluations will be conducted often to show each member of the team is performing to his or her abilities. Weaknesses will be observed and training will be provided to strengthen their skills. Another way to evaluate the team progress is to establish

For the 4WC we were put into teams and given tasks to complete each week. My team consisted of 6 members, including myself. The teams were decided based upon a test that each member took. Using the results of the test each member was assigned a role from Belbin’s Theory of Team Roles. This was done to ensure that all the teams where balanced as the theory of building a team with Belbin’s Team Roles is that one person weakness is another person’s strength. Belbin (2010). On the second week of the challenge I took up the role of leader of the group, a position that I was very unsure about. Within the following report I will reflect on my development as leader, what I learnt and the effects that my leadership had on the team and tasks.

What role did You play in the group? Were you a leader? A follower? Or somewhere in-between?

Generally, the team dynamics are good and the team works well together since the members know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Looking at the team from the context of Tuckman’s model of team development, I believe that the team is past the forming, storming, and norming stages, and we are now at the performing phase. The performing stage is usually characterized with optimal task attainment and a high level of cohesion, collaboration, and communication as well as genuine pride in the successes of the team (Management training Australia, 2015). Everyone within the team is strategically aware and understands what the team is doing and what is expected of them. The leader delegates activities with minimum supervision and members within the team look after one another. Although disagreements may arise every now and then, the team is now mature enough to attend to such disagreements and solve them in a positive way. The following are the team members;
