Element 1 – Plan to achieve team outcomes
1. Provide an example of a team purpose/objective/plan – using the SMART rule. (Bear in mind that the team purpose/objective/goals must relate to organizational goals/objectives and plans).
SMART rules helps the company to be successful. For example: Marketing officer for HM Rawat.
Specific – Propose a specific marketing idea, an e-marketing plan, to the organization during a meeting.
Measurable – E-marketing plan would cost around Rs75, 000.
Achievable – Through this e-marketing plan, it will help to boost up sales within and outside the country. (PayPal)
Relevant – The e-marketing plan would relate only to gadget, mobile phone, and mobile phones’ accessories.
Time-bound – The e-marketing plan work will end in one and a half month, after that we will be able to see the benefits of this system.
Some examples of smart objectives would be:
To reduce the rate of turn over from 35% to 25% by the end of financial year 2014 (June 2014).
To increase the profit making in sales from 50% to 60% by the end of 2014.
2. Using the similar example as in (1) above to illustrate, outline how a team member can establish and document team purposes, roles and responsibilities, goals and plans for the team so that the team will be better able to achieve the outcomes it is set out to achieve.
It is important to acknowledge that all members of the business team have different strengths and skills. The team leader, if he can recognize those individual strengths, can assign the tasks that best suit each staff. This ensures that the team objective or goal can be more easily achieved.
Moreover, if communication is properly done, the team members will be more synchronized. This synchronization can therefore enable the team to function better and
