Managing Teams
Managing Teams
In this assignment I am going to be defining teams in my own words, also explaining why it is a good idea to work within a team. I will also be describing some different types of terms and their associated benefits.
A team consists of people of all levels in an organisation whom come together to work on a particular project within their division.
I believe that it is a good idea to work as a team because, everybody has different ideas so there will be a lot of varied input. There is more support for each other because the workload is shared. It gives people the opportunity to use their skills to their best potential, and allows you to learn about each others strengths and weakness. It also gives you motivation to achieve your goals as a team, while also learning to interact with your peers.
Formal Teams
This type of team would be one that has been set up for a specific purpose. To set tasks or a group of tasks the group would need a team leader, whose responsibility it would be to oversee that these tasks were done. On time and also to a good quality. Everybody in the team would be given a job according to their skill. This is called specialisation. Examples of a formal team would be a sales team, a team of teachers or a management team.
The benefits of working in such a team is that everybody will get told what to do by their team leader whoever that may be, so everyone knows what job has to be done, they will also have to report back to the team leader which will increase efficiency and motivation.
Informal Teams
Such teams have less rules and expectations it is as such less formal. This type of team could consist of maybe two or three people, although it can contain how many people as desired. This kind of team could come together at any time whenever required any can be started for any reason and all have the same aims. Examples of an informal team would be a study group. The benefits of working in this team is
