The foundation of the team was established now it was time to prepare the Learning Team Charter. Chartering is the procedure by which a team meets at the beginning of its process to describe it mission or task, sets it goals, secure commitment by members to the achievement of those goals, make its plans, and allocate its resources. (University of Phoenix, 2009, pg. 4)Each member will have individual and group responsibilities. The individual responsibilities are to conduct all assignments, attend meetings, individual research and contribute input to any project. The group responsibilities will be to bring all the individual research to form one project, PowerPoint presentations, and final paper. The purpose of the charter is to have the goals and expectations of each member written out so there will not be any conflict within the group.

...Running head: THE TEAM CHARTER 1 Robert Carpenter The Team Charter MGT/521 February 6, 2011 Sandra Griffin THE TEAM CHARTER 2 Abstract A team must work together to be successful. Each team member is different from the and therefore bring different strengths and weaknesses to the team. Team members must learn to listen to each other, accepting the ideas and suggestions of other members. Trust between team members is a very important part of becoming a successful team. The team charter is an excellent tool that is used to find out what each member can contribute to the team. THE TEAM CHARTER 3 The Team The first step to being a successful team is to get to know your team members. Without knowing your team you cannot fully know what each member can do for the team. You will need to ask each other questions to find out what strengths each member will bring to the team. These questions will also help the team learn what weakness the members of the team will need help with. Webster’s online dictionary defines team as “a number of persons associated together in work or activity” (2011). The Team Charter What is the team charter? The team charter is a contract between each team member. The charter has several different parts to it. The first part, of the team charter, is the team information section. In this section members can list their contact information. This makes it easy for the team members to communicate...

The Team Charter will consist of two critical elements: First: a Team Mission Statement based the following “stem sentence” format: Our mission is to ____________________________________________________________ (broad general statement of the overall mission of the team) e.g. : Our mission is to ensure the deepest level of learning of all members of the team as possible through the production of consistently high quality group products In a way which _____________________________________________________________ (more specific statements of both sub-goals and values) e.g. In a way which: . ensures that we work as a team, not as a working group; . focuses on the learning, not the grade; . focuses on all levels of learning in the program simultaneously (courses, team effectiveness, individual growth) So that ____________________________________________________________________ (statements of the desired outcomes from working on the mission) e.g. So that: . each of us as individuals consistently learn new knowledge and skills through group product development . we as a group...

...A Team Charter is an agreement among the members of your team on how you will operate to ensure success. The Team Charter process ensures an awareness of team goals, anticipation of roles team members will play, processes and ground-rules for working together, and exploration of team member interests and styles that may impact team effectiveness. Here are suggestions for how to create and use a Team Charter. 1. Each team should meet to discuss the questions below 2. The team should agree and commit to a formal document that will serve as the Team Charter. 3. Each team member should express agreement to the commitments by signing the Team Charter. 4. A copy of your Team Charter should be visible during each team meeting, so that team members can refer to the document to reinforce agreements made. It should also be available to course instructors, who may want to ensure that you have a plan for completing their assignments. 5. The Team Charter should be elastic. It should be edited, upon agreement of the team members, to serve the evolving needs of the team. MEMBERSHIP 1. Who are the members of your team and what is their contact information? 2. What is the educational background and work experience of each team member? 3. How might the diversity of the team (e.g. culture of national origin, race, gender, knowledge, background) be an opportunity and/or barrier? KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS 4. What are the top two hard skills (quantitative, writing...

...How I Will Use My Team Charter to Improve Performance Management 521 Outline The paper is a continuous essay which has the following parts: Introduction This part introduces the wider concept of teams and introduces the focus of my essay. Body This is a detailed section that shows how I will use my team charter to improve my performance Conclusion This part reiterates the main ideas of the essay. No new ideas are introduced here. How I Will Use My Team Charter to Improve Performance Team formation always comes with goals. It is not possible to come across people who come together without a reason for doing so. At the end of the day, the aim that is established for the team has to be of value to the lives of the individual members of the team (Engleberg, Wynn & Schuttler 2003, pp.172-176). What will happen if individual members will not gain anything from the team? It is possible that members will move away from the team. The team charter that we formed as learners is a guide in our effort to meet the objective of the team as well as fulfilling individual goals (University of Phoenix 2004, p.1). As a team, we have the objective of ensuring that we have a successful learning team. Success is in terms of being able to accomplish assignments on time and in the best possible way. At personal level, I aim at excelling in my studies through my participation in the team. I can confidently speculate that this is an aim that I share with most if not all of my group...

...Analysis of the Team Charter The team charter is something brand new to me. It is something that I believe that has been one of the missing components of past group work. I view it as a type of contract with my classmates as something I agree to in completing the group work assignments, and something that states my responsibilities as a team member. Each team member has different strengths and weaknesses and in developing group chemistry, this is something of extreme importance to consider. After taking the Jungian Personality Assessment, I learned about myself and my classmates, that we all have strengths and weaknesses, including listening skills and how much we trust one another. In considering these scores, it is going to strengthen our team charter and the understanding of one another to know who is best suited for what position within the group, and the types of responsibilities that should be assigned to that person. Someone that is a good listener is someone who should collect and take a log about what the team decides. They are a good “right hand” to the leader of the group, and in listening to other team members, they can mediate between those that may not have good listening skills. Many times, this is a reason that group work can be a struggle and sometimes, ultimately a failure. A failure to see another teammates side in an assignment, may lead to a one sided, or even only partially developed idea. It may also lead to misdirection. If the leader of...
