...Addressing Challenges of Groups and Teams LDR/531 October 31, 2011 Abstract Challenges and benefits exist in communication, collaboration, and conflict within groups and teams. Organizations need training plans to ensure the success of groups and teams. The following paper will show the challenges of groups and teams within the Phillips organization. Team B has developed a training plan for Phillips. This paper will include a summary of the training plan, the challenges and benefits of communication, collaboration, and conflict, a discussion on how it will work in the organization, and a discussion on any unique challenges the plan could address. Addressing Challenges of Groups and Teams Organizations are relying on teams to complete tasks and projects that managers would normally do individually (Yukl, 2010). Yukl defines a team as a “small task group in which members have a common purpose, interdependent roles, and complementary skills” (2010, p. 333). Different groups and teams make up organizations. The success of these teams directly influences the success of the organization. Groups and teams are not the same thing. A group is two or more individuals, interacting and interdependent, who have come together to achieve objectives (Yukl, 2010). The group interacts to share information and make decisions within his or her area of responsibility. A work team, on the other hand, generates positive synergy through coordinated effort. The individual...

...Open Access Managing Multicultural Construction Teams in today’s Complex Global Environment Edward Ochieng* Faculty of Technology and Environment, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, L3 3AF, UK The rapid globalisation of the world’s economy has had significant impact on the way construction project managers work, bringing them frequently with clients, suppliers and peer that they never work before. In an era of globalisation, projects in the construction industry face unique challenges in coordinating among clients, financiers, developers, designers and contractors from different countries. In addition, construction project teams need to cope with the complexities of both local institutions and physical environments. Bartlett and Gosha [1] discussed the challenges facing organisations, which are intending to work effectively across borders. They identified the major challenges as being able to develop practices, which balance global competitiveness, multinational flexibility and the building of a worldwide learning capability. They maintained that achieving this balance will require organisations to develop the cultural sensitivity and ability to manage and leverage learning to build future capabilities. While offering opportunities, globalisation also poses significant challenges for construction project managers especially when different cultures are involved as a team. Multicultural construction project teams have their culture as a set of shared values and beliefs...

...Addressing Challenges of Groups and Teams Toni McCauley Annette Davis Chantel Martin University of Phoenix LDR/531 Addressing Challenges of Groups and Teams Leading groups and teams can be a challenge with itself. It takes a fair degree of influence, planning, and motivation to keep the group working together on a common goal. When the group is given a task it is important to have clear objectives and a solid plan of how those objectives will be obtained. In this paper Team B will set up a plan to implement the operational changes set forth by Desert Communications. Presenting and training for the change Due to the Desert’s declining communications market they have decided to add additional services to boost their profits. Some of the new services will include phone insurance, additional minutes, and road side service. There will be a meeting to present the proposed changes to the team. Management wants to make sure the team understands the objectives and is fully committed to the project. Group performance will be higher when its members are highly motivated to attain shared objectives (Yukl, 2010, p. 338). Because there are employees that perform various jobs the leader must make sure...

...This paper will discuss the challenge of effective communication as illustrated by a recent change of direction at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies (Marshall Center). First it will identify the situation of change and conflict at the Marshall Center. This will be done by identifying the knowledge, skills, sensitivity, and values that come into play as they have been taught throughout this term. Second, this paper will discuss the possible alternatives to address the situation and test the possible solutions. Lastly, the paper will propose solutions and recommend implementation plans. * Overview of the Organization and Case Study The Marshall Center is a highly respected German and American partnership based in Garmisch, Germany. It has 175 employees and has recently undergone a transformation. The fiscal and political realities of decreased defense budgets in the United States and Germany have led to a need for consolidation of responsibilities and decrease in the number of employees. The dean of the College of International and Security Studies (the College) was recently tasked with the responsibility of combining resident and outreach programs within the College. Previously, outreach programs existed as a separate division within the Marshall Center and had consisted of three regional teams: Central and Southeast Europe; Eurasia and the Black Sea; and Central Asia. The dean’s challenge was to integrate the regional outreach teams into...

...LP8 Assignment: Multidisciplinary Teams Oct. 29, 2015 Identify at least three specific challenges to working in a multidisciplinary team. How might these problems get in the way of progress? How might you, as a health care leader, resolve potential issues in patient care? Write a one to two page paper addressing these challenges. In multidisciplinary teams, challenges and disagreements arise when people of different backgrounds come together to form a unit, group, or organization. A few challenges that teams face are: responsibilities roles, respect amongst team members, and shared decision making. Such problems can hinder a team from producing effective results. For example, not completely defining each person’s individual role and contributions to the team, can “consequently affect how professionals work together and can cause confusion.” (Snyder, 2014). “To ensure optimum functioning of the team and effective patient outcomes, the roles of the multidisciplinary team members in care planning and delivery must be clearly negotiated and defined.” (Hospital Substitution, 2014). One can avoid many threats that accompany multidisciplinary teams by creating a set of guidelines for team members to abide by. Effectively communicating and collaborating with members of the team can help clear up misunderstandings. Leaders that support and build relationships with members, often have positive influences that can motivate and help build towards specific goals. References Hospital...

...Addressing Challenges of Groups and Teams Lacy Williams LDR/531 University of Phoenix Lois Mason April 15, 2012 Addressing Challenges of Groups and Teams Desert Communications Incorporated is a major wireless telecommunications organization experiencing a decline in net profit. This decrease is attributed to a change in the communications industry and a decline in the demand of communication products. Desert is beginning a strategic movement to reallocate its resources to capitalize on the added communication services in the industry. A team has been assigned to integrate strategies that will help generate the profit needed in regard to its call center. Contained in this paper is the strategic plan created by the team to aid in team and management collaboration, training programs, and tactics in identifying and minimizing conflict within teams. Presenting the Operational Change Before the team creates a strategic plan, management should not inform employees of the change because this may create problems among the employees. They may think jobs are at risk or the company is closing. After the plan is created, management should provide employees with details of the plan that affect them. These details will include the organization’s mission, how it intends to fulfill that mission, and the plan to train employees and provide them with the tools needed to perform effectively their tasks during and after the operational change.

...suggestions on how to approach the concept of human security as a topic for such a report. Human Security A Thematic Guidance Note for Regional and National Human Development Report Teams BY OSCAR A. GÓMEZ AND DES GASPER Contents What is Human Security?............ 2 Getting Started...................................... 4 Selecting objectives and themes...... 4 The process.................................................... 6 Many important aspects of human development relate also to people’s security: loosely defined as people’s freedom from fear and freedom from want in a broad sense. Applying a human security approach offers an opportunity to analyse many issues in an informative way. This note explains how one might go about doing that. Human security relates to much more than security from violence and crime. A report team wanting to look at the security of people’s livelihoods (economic, food, environment or health security) might apply a human security approach. Human security can also be used to look into personal, community and political security. Indeed, human development reports from around the world have applied the approach in other innovative ways. But on each occasion, these reports have analysed a threat, or groups of threats, and how they affect particular groups of people. And so if one is interested in preparing a human development report that is focused on one or more of the threats people face, then a human security approach is worth considering...

...Managing Diversity Research Paper Proposal Anee Rork Team C University of Phoenix Managing Diversity Research Paper Proposal Workplaces today are become increasingly diverse with employees of different genders, races, cultures, ethnic origins, and lifestyles. There have been so many changes in the cultural make-up of organizations that it has become imperative for leaders and supervisors to understand cultural diversity and how it can affect their organization. By understanding how this diversity can affect their organization, leaders are taking steps to assure a conflict-free environment and promoting positive outcomes for the business, as well as its employees. “Diversity today is being viewed as a key means to strengthen the human capital of an organization and improve overall performance” (Bowes, 2007/2008). Studies have shown that diverse workforces can positively affect and strengthen the organization, but what can organizations do to assure this type of environment? What programs or tools do leaders need to implement when looking to improve their ability to manage this diversity? The main purpose of this research paper will be to explore what methods organizations and leaders can use to successfully manage increased cultural diversity within the workforce. This research will reflect not only why it is important for organizations to embrace the differences in a diverse workplace, but will discuss the consequences that may occur if they...
