Your organisation holds substantial team building activities on a
regular basis. Some events are continuing professional development
(CPD) events that have followed reorganisation or major
recruitment, e.g. orienteering events, treasure hunts, Krypton Factor
like events, etc. At other times, teams evolve to organise annual
Vocational Scenario or
events such as charity events for ‘Children in Need’ or social events,
Context
e.g. annual summer fete.
Having completed your research into what constitutes an effective
team, you feel ready to put your learning into practice.
Task 1 You will participate in substantial team activities. Team activities can
be full day events or carried out over a number of sessions, possibly
during a period of work placement or whilst you are in your regular
part time employment. If neither of these alternatives is practical,
you could use an enterprise or charity event. You must take part in a
minimum of three activities and undertake the roles of both a team
leader and a team member.
You will need to demonstrate a professional approach to the team
and to the achievement of the teams’ goals and development of
team skills. This will require you to show initiative, good self-
, management and creativity. You will present evidence of being
independent yet supportive of others in the team. You will also be
prepared to develop and promote your own ideas for the team. Your
work throughout this task will demonstrate your clear attention to
detail to ensure all goals are achieved. Witness statements from your
line manager/work placement supervisor and/or peers as well as
assessor’s observation records will be needed to demonstrate
successful achievement of the task.
You will need to keep a reflective logbook, supported by feedback
gained during the team activities, that will record what went well,
what didn’t go to plan, where conflict existed and how this conflict
was managed, and detail the skills you developed during this period
as well as plan improvement in performance. The log book will
support a report that will reflect on the effectiveness of the team and
your own performance as both team leader and team member and
assesses how conflict was managed.
The witness statements, observation records, logbook and report will
record how you demonstrated initiative, self-management and
creativity in the professional development of team skills.
