...first assignment as a team. With working with all these different people, with many different personality types, can prove to be a challenge. We had some good times, some bad times, and even some funny times. The first challenge was everyone having a clear understanding of the assignment. The team members who had a clear understanding went right off and left the group members who needed some more clarification of the assignment. This caused the team not to be on the same page. The Learning Team Charter will help keep this from happening again because the team put this problem on the Charter. We could see very early on that the problem existed and we took care of it and we added to the Charter. The second problem we ran into was everyone not equally participating. Some team members wanted to jump right in and knock the assignment out. So, they started contributing right away. Other team members messed around until the Charter was almost completed. I do not know if this was because they did not understand the assignment, they did not have the time, or just laziness. The Learning Team Charter will hopefully keep this from accruing again. The team added this to the Charter under most every section. The team wanted this to be clearly stated, so that it does not occur again. It is never fare when one or two team members do all the work for the entire team. It is very important for every team member to contribute equally. The third problem that the team had to deal with was...

...ADR for a learning team ADR can be a less adversarial and hostile way to resolve a dispute among the members of a learning team. This can be an important advantage where the members have a relationship to preserve. ADR can help them find win-win solutions and achieve their real goals. This, along with all of ADR’s other potential advantages, may increase everyone’s individual overall satisfaction with both the dispute resolution process and the outcome.

G: We are working together blindly for five weeks, we need to make the best of it, complaining is not a fix; because we can’t see the other member’s thoughts we need to have patience and a way to better explain the point. If everyone is assigned a portion, please work it and if questions and or challenges arise don’t feel limited to share with the team. Expectations for Time Management and Involvement (Participation, communication with the team, accessibility, etc.) Any emergencies that affect a team member’s performance should be communicated to a member of the team as soon as possible so the assignment(s) can still be completed on time.

...Learning Team Charter Analysis COM/285 04/25/2011 William Liesman Learning Team Charter Analysis Business is a vital part of our world today. Business offers our world opportunity, equality, and an array of choices. The key ingredient in business is communication. Bad communication or lack of communication in a business setting can single handedly cause a business or corporation to crumble to pieces. When working in a business setting, there are many business tactics and business formulas that are used. A number of these business tactics and business formulas have been around for decades, and have been proven to achieve the best results possible. These business formulas and business tactics usually have a focus around a type of business team comprised of different specialists and or employees within a particular company. In each of these business teams, ground rules are laid out, work is divided amongst the respected departments and or individuals, and deadlines are set. Without this process, these business teams would be likely to become inefficient, simply due to a lack of direction. Here at UOP, we the students use what is called a Learning Team Charter. This is a document that not only lays down basic team ground rules; it also addresses things such as individuals’ strong points, weak points, timelines, situational processes, and team member contact information. This paper will address the Learning Team Charter, give an in depth breakdown of all sections listed...

...Resolution Clause for Learning Team Charter Business Law; Law/531 July 5, 2010 An alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is used in resolving disputes among individuals. The most common form of ADR includes arbitration, negotiation, mediation, conciliation, mini-trial, fact-finding, and judicial referee (Cheeseman, 2010). In the learning team environment conflicts and disputes among team members have the potential to occur. Because disputes need to be resolved within a timely manner to avoid falling behind in deliverables, an ADR clause may be necessary to help resolve conflicts and disputes. The purpose of this paper is to prepare an ADR clause conducive to a learning team environment. The ADR clause, disputes subject to an ADR, and provisions necessary to enable an ADR will be identified. Unresolved conflicts and disputes in a learning team environment are subject to the alternative dispute resolution clause. Conflicts and disputes can include lack of participation, lack of preparing and submitting required deliverables on time, violations of academic integrity, and the code of conduct including plagiarism, whether intentional, or unintentional (University of Phoenix, website, 2010). Team members will first attempt to resolve conflicts and disputes as a cohesive unit through communication and negotiation; however if team members are unable to resolve issues within a 24-hour period, the ADR clause will be implemented, and proceedings will begin. Team members will agree to...

...ADR Clause for Learning Team Charter Patrice Kabanga Business Law /531 February 14, 2011 Ayodeji Badaki ADR Clause for Learning Team Charter It is a fact that working in a team may sometimes be challenging. Considering team members’ individual differences or personalities, disputes may occur and are likely to negatively affect the entire team’s outcome. Since members affix their signatures on the Team Charter, they are held to comply with rules and regulations stipulated in it, and may get some benefits from the use of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Clause in conflicts resolution. The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) clause is enabled when members within the team cannot find resolution to any disagreement or dispute from any learning aspect in connection with failure to submit the team assignment or an individual portion of the assignment on the agreed deadline, non-participation during team meeting, thoughts discussions; as well as when any member within the team makes inappropriate comments against other members. The ADR Clause provision requires a wait period of 24 hours during which team members are supposed to settle the conflict on their own as members may possibly agree to a compromise when given time to do so. Team members and leader directly involved in the dispute will confer to promptly resolve this issue in good faith. If no resolution is reached during this 24 hours period, they agree to participate to a mediation...

...ADR Clause for Learning Team Charter All disputes that arise within the learning team that cannot be resolved 24 hours after the dispute began will enable ADR to occur. The dispute must be in reference to members’ disregard for the rules and regulations documented in the learning team charter. Personal conflicts that arise between team members will not initially be subjected to be resolved through ADR. Members’ personal conflicts which cause dispute within the learning team disabling productivity and efficiency will facilitate the ADR process. In the event a dispute shall arise between members of a learning team, the members agree to participate in a mediated negotiation with the assistance of a neutral person who will be appointed by the remaining members of the learning team. The mediation will involve each side of dispute communicating with an impartial person, to attempt to reach a voluntary agreement. Mediation involves no formal procedures and the mediator does not have the power to render a binding decision or force parties to agree. The team members which are involve in the dispute will not be forced to participate in the mediation process. In the event that the dispute is not settled during mediation, an arbitration clause will follow. If the dispute cannot be settled within 48 hours after the mediator has been appointed, the dispute will be referred and resolved through arbitration. This clause will be enforced for members who denied mediation and members who were...
