Team dynamics

What is needed are individuals
who balance well with each other
not well balanced individuals!
Nobody's perfect - a team can be!

Some team dynamic examples

After generations of grief,
Northern Ireland has become a successful team.
By contrast, the Iraq civil war is an example of a team failure.

Lessons learned can be applied
to the work environment.

  Elements in successful team dynamics
 1.  Pull teams together quickly
and focus on the task ASAP.
This is to avoid destructive feelings of impatience,
meetings that go nowhere and
dominant individuals that suppress cooperation.

Hint:
Use the different talents, perspectives, values & life experiences of team members & promote their
self-awareness for more contribution.
2.  Set clear goals, and ways to
monitor and communicate progress.

 

 This is to reduce possible conflicts,
and to rapidly identify those project management issues
of money, time & resources,
(team members, tools & environment)
that need to be adjusted
for successful team outcomes.

Hint:
All need to know what's happening, what to do
and what the outcomes will look like.
 3.  Understand that the
life of a team is finite.
Membership of a team ends ....
when the goals are achieved or the resources are all used.
Any other option can become very frustrating and
the process becomes destructive.

Hint:
Use team feedback to highlight how to do better
and what members should be in a future team.

Teams can produce a more quality and quantity of work,
than the sum of separate members could produce on
their own. 

In organisations where priority is given to the selection, training, development and motivation, these teams will
out perform those which are made up according to the
roles which are needed.

Informal groups, develop to fill certain emotional & social
needs. People need to feel they belong, to be liked,
and to feel part of something. 

These groups also help to develop, enhance & confirm
a person's sense of identity and self esteem. 

Joining together this small group makes the members
feel stronger, less anxious and less insecure in the face
of a perceived threat.
