What is It

What do you know about a team? How is it different to a group or an organization? Keep reading and be ready to answer the activities.

Team

A team is a group of individuals (human or non-human) working together to achieve their goal. It normally has members with complementary skills and generate synergy through a coordinated effort which allows each member to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses.

The team roles describe a pattern of behavior that characterizes one person’s behavior in relationship to another in facilitating the progress of a team.

Team goals are the objectives or milestones that a team commits to working toward together. It often measures points in a process or develop skills across an organization. Further, it can also help the employees feel more invested in the company’s objectives since they contribute to developing them.

Roles of an Effective Team

1. Trust – defined as to have confidence, faith, or hope in someone or something. It can be attributed to relationships between people.
2. Conflict Management – is the process of limiting the negative aspects of conflict while increasing the positive aspects of conflict. Conflict management aims

to enhance learning and group outcomes, including effectiveness or performance in an organizational setting.

3. Commitment – is dedication to a particular organization, cause, or belief, and a willingness to get involved. The more people who are committed to your organization, the greater the momentum you can generate to get the job done.

   
   

4. Accountability – is the obligation of an individual or organization to account for its activities, accept responsibility for them, and disclose the results in a transparent manner. To be accountable to a team, a person needs to be clear about what they plan to do.

   
   

5. Focusing on Results – refers to a strategy to achieve an outcome rather than focus on the process it takes to get there. It is about aligning the employee’s key skills and setting plans for the delivery of certain results.

   
   

Objectives of a Team

1. Productivity – is commonly defined as a ratio between the output volume and the volume of inputs. In other words, it measures how efficiently production inputs, such as labor and capital, are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output.

   
   

2. Efficiency – is the ability to avoid wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time in doing something or in producing a desired result. In a more general sense, it is the ability to do things well, successfully, and without waste.

   
   

3. Customer satisfaction – is used in marketing. It is a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation.

   
   

4. Employee satisfaction – is used to describe whether employees are happy and fulfilling their desires and needs at work.

   
   

5. Quality – is the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind, the degree of excellence of something.

   
   

6. Sustainability – is focused on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

   
   

Team Parameters to Gauge Success

a. Engagement. Employees who work together are much more productive than those who stay aloof and work by themselves. If your team members are disengaged and have constant ego clashes, you need to re-evaluate how much you’re accomplishing as a team member.

b. Employee Growth. A good leader understands the potential the potential of each of his/her team members and hones their skills and abilities to help them achieve the goals they set for themselves.

c. Training. A good leader always finds time to impart knowledge to team members. He/She should not be skeptical that they will become better and move ahead. In fact, he/she encourages the team to put their best foot forward. A good measure of your leadership success is calculating how many people have achieved big things under your leadership.

d. Fairness. Do you indulge in favoritism or are you just and fair? Do you choose your close friends when it comes to assigning important projects? A good leader strives to see all his/her team members grow, and isn’t partial on any count. He/She adheres to balanced standard of justice without taking into consideration his/her own feelings and inclinations.

e. Respect for Others. A good leader is respected by his/her team members. They look up to and follow him/her not because they are scared, but because they believe in the leader’s cause. If your team members don’t care about your feedback or what you have to say, you have failed as a leader. A successful leader makes their employees feel appreciated and treats them with respect.

Reporting Relationships within Team and External to Team

Reporting relationships refers to an organizational structure in which every employee is placed somewhere on an organizational chart. The employees report to the employee who is listed above them on the organizational chart. It is a very important part of most organizational structures. This is how a company holds accountability and rewards employees based on professional actions. Especially as organizations are incorporating synergy (team-based functional cooperation), the reporting strategies are getting confused.

Example of an Organizational Chart showing the relationship among group of workers in the Farm

[chart: organizational chart; Example of an Organizational Chart showing the relationship among group of workers in the Farm]

What is It

Prioritize Competing Demands to Achieve Goals and Objectives

Competing demands mean you have two or more things you want to do, but cannot do both. Each of these two things is “demanding” your time.

Steps to prioritize competing demands in a business

1. Collect a list of all your tasks. Pull together everything you could possibly consider getting done in a day. Don’t worry about the order or the number of items upfront.

   
   

2. Identify urgent vs. important. The next step is to see if you have any tasks that need immediate attention. We’re talking about work that, if not completed by the end of the day or in the next several hours, will have serious negative consequences (missed client deadline; missed publication or release deadlines, etc.). Check to see if there are any high-priority that needs to be done immediately.

   
   

3. Assess value. Next, look at your important work and identify what carries the highest value to your business and organization. As a general practice, you want to recognize exactly which types of tasks have top priority over the others.

   
   

4. Order tasks by estimated effort.If you have tasks that seem to tie for priority standing, check their estimates, and start on whichever one you think will take the most effort to complete.

   
   

5. Be flexible and adaptable. Uncertainty and change are given. Know that your priorities will change, and often when you least expect them to. But—and here’s the trick—you also want to stay focused on the tasks you’re committed to completing.

   
   

6. Know when to cut. You probably can’t get to everything on your list. After you prioritize your tasks and look at your estimates, cut the remaining tasks from your list, and focus on the priorities that you know you must and can complete for the day.

   
   

Utilize resources efficiently and effectively to manage work priorities and commitments.

Business resources are known as factors of production, consist of land, labor and capital. Other resources include energy, entrepreneurship, expertise, management, and time.

1. Land. It is real estate or property, minus buildings and equipment, that designated by fixed spatial boundaries. Land ownership may offer the titleholder the right to natural resources on the land.

   
   

2. Labor. This is the amount of physical, mental, and social effort used to produce goods and services in an economy.

   
   

3. Capital. It is a term for financial assets, such as funds held in deposit accounts and/or funds obtained from special financing sources.

   
   

4. Energy. It is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on.

   
   

5. Time. This is a measure in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them.

   
   

6. Expertise. It refers to an expert skill or knowledge in a particular field.

   
   

7. Entrepreneurship. This is the activity of setting up a business or businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit.

   
   

8. Management. It is the administration of an organization, whether it is a business, a not-for-profit organization, or government body.

   
   

How to Utilize Resources Efficiently and Effectively?

1. List your priorities
   Write down everything that goes through your mind, even the most trivial thoughts.

   
   

2. Empower your to-do-list
   List the issues that are crucial to each day. Only critical calls, important meetings, medical checkups, and work-related goals should figure in your daily calendar.

   
   

3. Maintain people’s lists intelligently
   Your boss, spouse, children, and many other important individuals need separate to-do-lists.

   
   

4. Learn the art of relaxation
   Don’t pack a day with so much action that you’re left drained. Learn to relax and let go. Take a walk and smell the roses. Clarity of thought will bless you with the wisdom of knowing what’s important and what isn’t.

   
   

5. Understand the importance of adequate rest

   
   

Good Practices and Economic Maintenance of Equipment and Facilities as per Established Procedures

The word ‘maintenance’ does not mean repairs. But maintenance really means to keep up and not only to repair when it breaks down. It must be a regular and methodical process. The emphasis should be on maintenance rather than on repair. The following are:

1. Equipment inspection, cleaning and lubrication
2. Maintenance of existing plant buildings and grounds
3. Maintenance of existing plant and equipment
4. Property accounting
5. Proper storage keeping
6. Pollution and noise control

What’s In

What is It

Appropriate Forms of Communication and Interactions

1. Verbal Communication
   Verbal communication occurs when we engage in speaking with others. It can be face-to-face, over the telephone, via Skype or Zoom, etc. It involves the usage of words while the delivery of the intended message is being made. It can be one-on-one, over the phone or in group settings, etc. it is a method of effective communication that is personal and has to be used more than only phone calls and emails whenever possible. The medium of the message in case of verbal communication is oral. Simple speaking is verbal communication like Storytelling and Crucial Conversations.

   
   

2. Written Communication
   It cannot be avoided in the workplace. It is present everywhere and consists of traditional paper and pen documents and letters, text chats, emails, typed electronic documents, reports, SMS and anything else that might be conveyed by the use of written symbols like language which includes any documents that are a part of the day to day business life.

   
   

3. Face-to-Face Communication
   This is usually preferred methods of communication although it is not realistic all the time, especially in organizations that are based in several locations around the globe. However, tools like videoconferencing make approximate face-to-face communication possible and help even the large organizations in creating personal connections between the management and the staff.

   
   

Appropriate Contributions to Complement Team Activities

1. Commitment and Trust
   All members of a high-impact team must be fully committed to achieving the team’s mission and goals. Each member must devote a reasonable amount of time and energy to advancing the team’s mission and must be able to trust that all other team members are doing same.

   
   

2. Open Lines of Communication
   Effective teams must have open lines of communication. Communication must be honest and flow between all team members equally. Team members who understand each other’s unique communication styles, or who agree on a single style of communication from the outset, are more likely to move the team in a productive direction that everyone understands and supports.

   
   

3. Diversity of Capabilities
   Teams that possess a wide range of professional competencies can be more fully equipped to meet a wide range of challenges. When building teams, take time to ensure that each team member possesses skills and strengths that complement the skills, strengths and weaknesses of other team members.

   
   

4. Adaptable to Changing Conditions
   High-powered teams must be flexible and adaptable to changing conditions. Team strategies, goals, tasks, workflows and even members can change over the life of the team. Team members should be able to rally together and meet new challenges head-on, rather than splintering into ideological factions or banding together to resist change.

   
   

REPORTING USING STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES

Standard operating procedures are detailed, these are written instructions on how to perform a routine business activity. They are easy to read and they explain every detail of the process being described. It is important to keep in mind that a good standard operating procedure doesn’t focus on what needs to be done but rather how it should be done. A standard operating procedure is an effective tool that every business should have.

Steps to Follow:

1. Develop a list of your business processes
   To get started, have the managers talk to your employees about the duties they perform in their jobs every day. This will allow them to begin creating a detailed list of processes that need standard operating procedures.

   
   

2. Plan the process
   In this step, you will need to decide on a format for your process. D o you want it to be a step-by-step guide or a workflow diagram? From there you can create a template. You will also need to decide how your standard operating procedure will be made visible to your employees. A written copy will be posted or will be available online.

   
   

3. Talk with employees
   Now that you have your list of processes and you have created your template; you need to talk to your employees. This is important because you can’t fully understand the process unless you have spoken with the people who actually perform it on a daily basis.

   
   

4. Write and review the process
   Once you have spoken with your employees, immediately add your notes to the template. From there you can review your standard operating procedure with employees once again and obtain input from your managers. You should also determine who will be responsible for oversight and maintenance of the standard operating procedure.

   
   

5. Maintain the process
   Your work is not finished once the standard operating procedure is written! In order for it to remain relevant and useful, you must maintain and update it at least once a year.

   
   

Development of Team Work Plans Based from Team Rose

A work plan is an outline of a set of goals and processes by which a team and/or person can accomplish those goals, and offering the reader a better understanding of the scope of the project. Through work plans, you break down a process into small, achievable tasks and identify the things you want to accomplish.

Steps to Make a Work Plan:

1. Identify the Project Name, Purpose and General Timeline By doing this you can tell your project approvers that your project will take one quarter, six months or one year given the purpose of the project, as well as the rest of the information you will fill in after this step. You should also tell your project approver the purpose of your project.

2. Put Your Work Plan into Context Write an introduction and background to better outline why you need this project to happen and what made you consider trying to meet that ultimate goal in the first place.

3. Establish Your Goals and Objectives Your goals might sound like your purpose, but they’re a little more specific in that they’re more long-term oriented. Similarly, your project objectives should be measurable. It’s best to use your SMART goals here. Build out what is specific, what is measurable, what is achievable, what is relevant and what can be done within the project time frame.

4. Define and Coordinate Your Resources When you define and coordinate your resources, be sure to address the following questions:

• How much of the budget will go towards this project?
• From what department will the budget be allocated?

5. Understand Your Constraints And especially consider the triple constraint of time, budget and resources. Because at this point, you’ve already listed out all three in previous steps, you can now factor in risks that might hamper those processes.

6. Discuss Risks and Accountability Risks need to be assessed from as many corners as possible. Consider paid time off, vacation time that staff has accrued, and company holidays. Consider any freak accidents that might affect your budget or timeline directly. And then appoint someone to take charge in case the environment becomes favorable for those risks to become reality. Create a sense of accountability so that all team members can have an active stake in the successful outcome of the project and to minimize the possibility of error.
