Teams can cause conflicts e.g. personality clashes between members. This happens in our workplace due to different ages, cultures and personalities of people.…
2. Reflect on the information presented in this week’s lesson and provide an insightful response to each question writing no more than two paragraphs.…
Dealing with conflict is discussed throughout the course however there is many of ways in dealing with this, some theories believe there is a process to follow or on the other hand it can be down to the particular individual. Most importantly a shared vision within the early years is very important to establish so we are all working to the same expectations. As a leader and manager this is important to take on board. A work force is more effective if team members support and respect each other and most of all respect their team leader and manager. If the team leader gives their team members support this will help their confidence and will help them to strengthen their weaknesses. As a leader it is important to encourage staff and to resolve any conflict that may arise between staff and to help issues be resolved. It is important for me as a team leader to encourage and support my staff who are committed to their work and to help engage the staff who are less enthusiastic. Strong teams have clear leadership, whatever the form of leadership it is important to be supported by all team members and also adds value to the functioning of the team. As an effective team it is also important to agree on the same terms and rules, this will help how the team make decisions and will deal with any conflict or disagreements. Strong communication skills also help to maintain a good effective team, whether it’s…
Physical activities allow people to interact with others in different ways. In several competitive sports, games, and dance, teamwork is crucial. An example of teamwork would be soccer. Teamwork is ideal when it comes to soccer. It gives the ability to trust fellow team members, to take care of other responsibilities. Such as, when there is trust involved in a midfield, defense, and goalie when the opposing team is driving towards your goal. Getting to know team members and trusting them as the season goes on, helps understand and connect with them.…
Trust is lost when the people in the team are not honest to each other. Honesty is required in the team to create strong bonds between the members. When the members of the team are not open to each other suspicion increases and trust is lost. Trust is also lost when people are…
What exactly is an effective team? The concept of an effective team refers to individuals who have been randomly selected to function as a collective group (professionally). As a group, they are responsible for meeting specific goals by illustrating excellent verbal communication, coordinating their efforts as a team; express the significance of planning procedures and techniques for making consensus decision. The evaluation of team effectiveness is the essential factor for competitive success in business today. These common factors are pre-determined on three critical levels: individual, environmental or group. Individual elements that a respective member must possess consist of special skills or talent; include the skills possessed by the individual members, confidence in being a productive team member and behavioral character.…
The team is generally lacking in group cohesion and group norms. If team members have high group cohesion along with high norms regarding behavior, they become motivated to work together. Group cohesion and norms can inspire commitment to collective goals, thus, encouraging them to work more efficiently. The team’s main problem is the conflict, which does not allow them to be productive and efficient. The time spent arguing, offending others, and making snide comments is interfering with their work. If this behavior continues, it will become very difficult for the team to achieve their goals.…
Team members adjust their behavior to each other as confidence and trust begins to emerge. Team members often work through this stage by agreeing on rules as they realise that they can work together. During this phase, team members begin to trust each other therefore they listen to each others opinions and take them into consideration…
When we generally think of conflict it is a very negative thought about the team member. Usually there is arguing, yelling or disagreeing which can make others feel uncomfortable. Learning how to deal and handle these disagreements constructively will usually improve the productivity and create new ideas and help develop personality of other in the team. Each team will go through stages of growth and development. “Team conflict can be resolved quickly and effectively and only requires one key ingredient and that is a team leader who can diagnose a team within stages of team development and choose from an array of effective team leadership skills.” (Warren, Jon) Letting the team members get to know each other in forming better a workable group with the support and direction of the leader.…
Independence is most important to people who seek being alone and doing everything on their own. Most people do not appreciate the help the help of others. Working in groups may be helpful but not always the right choice. People have problems learning, get distracted more easily, and they only get one overall grade that is shared throughout the group.…
This is caused by the lack of commitment. Team members are not going to hold each other accountable if no one has committed to the project or plan. When a team is functioning properly they are able to hold each other accountable without taking offense. Each team should have the same standards of levels of performance. By not having accountability, team members learn that it is acceptable to miss deadlines and have mediocre performance. If team members are unwilling to hold each other accountable it pushes the burden of discipline on to the leader which can cause resentment towards the leader. Teams who are committed to accountability are able to quickly identify problems without hesitation, which establishes respect between team members when everyone if held to the same…
As with any team, individuals will always have their own views and opinions on how things should be or should be done and this can create dispute or disagreement. One way to manage this is by having open communication and discussions, listening to feedback and working together and agreeing as a team practical ways and solutions to completing objectives. To promote a shared vision within a team it is important to be aware of the objective you wish to attain. Team members also need to have a clear definition of what is expected of them and be given support to achieve this.…
Conflict is inevitable and at times stimulates beneficial or creative thinking. Often conflict is a signal that people are miscommunicating and making different assumptions about what has gone unspoken. The conflict in itself is not the problem. It is the team’s reactions to it that determines the impact, thus causing it to be a negative experience. Conflict or divergence can be destructive or it can be constructive. It is up to the people involved in the conflict to manage the outcome. This gives them an opportunity to articulate their assumptions and figure out a way to come to agreement. In a learning team situation, conflict can arise when the original agreement to work together does not address enough specifics about exactly how and when team members will accomplish individual tasks. This inhibits achieving overall team goals.…
Of course those are positive traits but they can also be very much damaging to a group effort. With that same intent of job completion this type of person may want to rush through the whole process not taking the time to properly analyze the necessary information or beginning a new problem, or stage of the project, before the current one is finished. This type of attitude can also lead to disregarding other people’s ideas or feelings if they are perceived intrusive to the completion of the goal (TEAM TECHNOLOGY, 1995). This could ultimately make the project culminate after an accorded date or not at all.…
When working as a team there may be problems that arise, like feedback from others may not always be taken positively which can cause issues in the work environment (Kreps, 2009). There are also times when someone may not finish their duties leaving it for someone else to do it for them. It can be hard for some to come to the same agreement and this creates problems in the work environment. Many of the people that I worked with did not want to work as a team they wanted to do everything on their own. We had to show the managers that we were working as a team, but when they were not looking over our shoulder many of the employees did what they wanted to. This makes things very frustrating, there are so many times when someone does not take work as serious as the next person and this creates more of a work load for those that do take their jobs…
