    Mgt Learning Team

    We as a team have discussed Week 4 and the things we have learned along with some of the things we struggled with. We have become very familiar with each of the different conflict management strategies. We were able to define and gain knowledge on each of the strategies. Along with gaining knowledge, we were able to figure out what scenarios are appropriate for each conflict management strategy. Along with the different conflict management strategies we have been able to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each. Doing so, this has helped us use these strategies in our own teams here at the University of Phoenix. While during times of conflict among team members in the future, we will now know that there are different strategies of coping with the conflict. Along with the conflict management strategies we learned about team strategies. In learning about teams, there are different points to get across when forming an effective team. First and foremost is having an effective leader among the team. By electing a leader, it gives the team a sense of management and time accuracy. The leader is responsible for handling the tasks and assigning each team member to a particular task. This will help the team meet deadlines and progress in meeting the goals they have obtained. Our teammates have discussed this topic, and believe that each of us use these strategies in our daily work place. The conflict resolution along with the team strategy’s help the workplace by having more clarity and combining ideas to achieve…

    Case Study Bob Knowlton

    Bob Knowlton was recently assigned to be a project head of the new photon unit at Simmons Laboratories. He received the assignment from Dr. Jerrold, the head of the laboratory. Unbeknownst to Knowlton, Jerrold had decided to bring in another person to the project, Simon Fester. Although Fester is obviously a brilliant individual, he lacks any sort of teamwork skills and derisively says the decisions made by groups exhibit a “high level of mediocrity”. This disturbs Knowlton because he feels that group participation in the meetings with all departments yields great decisions and builds camaraderie.…

    Bob Knowlton Case

    There are various factors that are contributing to the interpersonal dynamics between Knowlton and Fester in their team. Bob Knowlton is a photon unit project head in charge of team. However, one day Bob felt that his leadership was at stake because a new brilliant scientist, Fester, was hired into the Simmons Laboratories and placed in Bob Knowlton’s work group. Fester demonstrated that his skills as a photon manager were, perhaps better than Bob’s. Jerrold, Bob and Fester’s boss, was extremely impressed with Fester and also was expressing that openly with the team. This made Bob feel intimidated that Fester was very sharp and competent and had solved some old problems, which were considered unsolvable by his team. He felt that Fester was slowly taking over leadership informal control of the team. As a result of this Bob may have lost some self-esteem and the respect of his team members.…
