...Team Strategy and Conflict Management Plan Bryan Cash MGT/311 July 31, 2012 Omotoye Omokheyeke Team Strategy and Conflict Management Plan As superintendent at Riordan Manufacturing, a task has been assigned to create teams within the organization to begin production of a newly designed heart valve. There are several strategies that can be used in the development of these teams, each of which will have its own set of strengths and weaknesses. Within these teams that are being developed there are always going to be instances of conflict that will arise. It is important to understand and know how to handle these conflicts and what the different conflict management strategies are. Every conflict management strategy will also have its own set of strengths and weaknesses and by identifying them it will be easier to choose the correct one for the situation. There are different methods for building and forming a team and there are five that were looked at in the formation of this team. The first method is a clear expectation of goals, a strength being that it offers much better efficiency at measuring objectives; however, it does not address communications and human relationships.

As part of the superintendent’s teams I have created a plan to identify various strategies available to build teams, challenges or barrios and measures used to determine if the team is operating successfully. The plan is divided into two sections Team Strategy Plan and Conflict Management Plan. * * Team Strategy Plan: * There are five stages of group development forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The first stage forming is where team members meet and exchange information about each such as experiences and backgrounds. In this stage team members are accepting and avoiding conflict. The second stage is storming team members have different opinions of how and what thing should be done and who should be in control. This may cause some conflict within the teams. The third stage is norming where teams begin to work more effectively together. Team members respect each other’s opinion and differences. The fourth stage is performing teams are fully functional and accepted. Members have gotten to know each other by this stage and are able to the task at hand. The last stage is the adjourning stage where the task is coming to an end. * * One of the challenges we must teams face is conflict. Conflict can result in increase in turnover rate, decrease in team satisfaction and inefficiencies. Conflict may...

...Teams, Groups and Conflict Susan Pickett MGT/311 March 30th 2015 Charles Sprague Teams, Groups and Conflict As one of the team superintendents with Riordan Manufacturing I have been asked to come up with a Strategy Plan along with a Conflict Management Plan, for our new project underway. Our group was hired to lead new teams into the production of the newly designed Cardi Care Valve heart valves, most of us will have to relocate to Pontiac Michigan until the manufacturing of these custom plastic parts has been completed. A lot of the production teams are current employees from some of our other divisions, and we expect to hire a few more new employees to help us complete our goal with in a timely manner. Part I: Team Strategy Plan After carefully reviewing the employees that Riordan Manufacturing has elected to help us with our goal, I will collect all of the information one each employee and prepare a plan delegating who will be on what teams, but before this will happen I have to address a few strategies to help me produce this plan. There are five strategies to choose from when choosing a team strategy plan. The strategies include: clear expectations of goals, channels of communication, conflict resolution, consequences, and celebrating achievements as a team. Clear expectations of goals and targets: There should be a clear roles defined for each team member, every person in the team should know the role he or she is expected to play, without Clear expectations...

...paper Team A is responsible for developing teams for Riordan Manufacturing’s newly designed CardiCare Valve heart valves. The location of these teams is in Pontiac, Michigan, which produces plastic parts for the organization. Team A will develop a Team Strategy Plan of which we will identify several strategies in building viable teams, identify challenges or barriers that may occur, determine the best approach, and measure the teams efficiency. While developing these teams, Team A will create a Conflict Management Plan of which we will analyze the teams strengths and weaknesses, implementation of different conflict management strategies, select the best approach, identify potential challenges, and consider alternate strategies that will foster an efficient team. The Various Strategies Available to Build Teams Riordan Manufacturing is striving to create the perfect teams of employees to generate the best possible production of the newly designed CardiCare Valve heart valves. Creating those perfect teams requires much planning and organization. An important thing that Riordan needs to think about when trying to construct their teams is the number of members of each of the team. Generally speaking, the most effective teams have five to nine members (Robbins & Judge, 2011). When teams are larger, coordination and communication amongst its members may be an issue making it harder to get work done. Another thing for Riordan to consider when building their teams is the...
