Assignment 1
Task 2
In this report I have been asked by the manager to complete a report and ask answer questions and
explain differences. The first thing I will do is explain the different stages of team formation; I will
then go on to explain how team performance will be measured. After these two have been explained I
will also go on to write about team cohesion.
Explain the different stages of team formation.
1. Induction
The introduction of the team is the initial stages of the team working together and
performing at their best. A team needs to know one another to works as part of a
team; if they don’t know then they won’t get the huge benefits of being in a team.
The best way of introducing a team is by starting a fun and interactive game where
the players have to know one another to work as a team and succeed in the game, so
it’s best to have an ice break to break any tension within the team.
2. Motivation of team members
Once the team is settled in then it is important to make sure that they stay motivated
and stay concentrated because this will be reflected by their performance and their
target hitting abilities. The best way to motivate employees is to have a goal in mind
also offer a certain reward to employees if they hit a target.
3. Training
Training is also another vital part of the team formation, the training part of team
formation is important because you will need a team who can do a job and do it
properly and they will be expected to do it to the highest possible standards. Also
when team members are first enrolled they are not expected to know everything and
they might not do it in the correct way, or the desired way.
4. Coaching
Coaching is an important part of team formation as well; this is because with
coaching this will help an employee perfect there crafts ship and helps them develop
their tradesmen ship. Coaching will help identifies and fix problems that the
employee did not see.
5. Mentoring
Mentoring is similar to coaching however an employee will usually have one mentor
that will specifically help with any problems that the employee might face in the team
or any other problems that they might go on to face.
6. Team knowledge
Team selection involves identifying potential team members with a specific
contribution you make to the team. Team selection will be concerned with identifying
a range of personality traits, such as the ability to listen to others, encourage others to
share their ideas, help the team to move forward, contribute to a shared decision
making process. Managers will also need to have an awareness if team members
strengths.
7. Allocation of team roles
With allocations of team roles this will be an important aspect of creating a functional
team and making sure that they are doing the correct job for them and making sure
that the team functions as effectively as possible because then this will allow the team
to focus and make sure that all targets will be hit and make sure that the business will
succeed in its efforts to strive and make more profit, a good team will help any
business and any contract work. With the allocation of team roles it is important to
implement Belbin theory, “Dr Meredith Belbin studied team-work for many years,
and he famously observed that people in teams tend to assume different "team roles."
He defined a team role as "a tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with
