Teamwork
Introduction
Building effective teams doesn 't just happen; it requires thought, action and perseverance. This essay is talking about how effective group works in a team and also in an organisation. The report explains the steps of how the groups are made in an organization to have a complete team building exercise where the task is to form a group of 3 to 4 members depending on the work to be done in the team, and to build trust and good relations between the group members by communicating with each other and to avoid conflicts and stay in contact with each other as long as possible.
It also reviews different types of frame work within the teams to promote the teams and also the organisation. Harris & Harris (1996) also explain that a team has a common goal or purpose where team members can develop effective, mutual relationships to achieve team goals. Teams and teamwork help to promote deep learning that occurs through interaction, problem solving, dialogue, cooperation and collaboration (Johnson & Johnson, 1995).
What is a team?
Team work has become an important part of the working culture and many organisations now look at team work skills when evaluating a person for employment. Most organisations realise the team work is important because either the product is sufficiently complex that it requires a team with multiple skills to produce, and / or a better product will result when a team approach is taken. Therefore, it is important that people learn the function in a team environment so that they will have team work skills when they enter the work place.
A work team is an interdependent collection of individuals who share responsibility for specific outcomes for their organisations. Not everyone who works together or is in proximity belongs to a team. A team is a group of people who are interdependent with respect to information, resources and skills and who seek to combine their efforts to achieve a common goal.
