Discussions: The days of working on an individual basis in the workplace are over. Positions that are not involved in a team, committee, or work group at some point during the year are extremely rare. Unless formal training is provided for a team, it is common to find dysfunction within a team. Based on your readings this week (see Content - Week 6 - Reading and Resources), what positive measures should organizations take to ensure that employees are prepared to take on the day-to-day human relations communication challenges associated with working as the member of a team? Be creative in your answer! Hello Professor and Classmates, Working as a member of a team can be very beneficial and is the go to way in many workplaces today. When working as a team, the common goal should always be achieving and completing the mission by collaborative working together. Me, personally, I would rather work by myself than with a team because of things always going wrong before they get right and/or miscommunication and that really frustrates me especially when a team member doesn’t know how to resolve the issue or agree on certain things. Therefore, organizations should always have some type of positive measures to limit and reduce conflict such as having training classes, such as conflict management, problem solving, negotiation, and communication, available for everyone to attend annually and quarterly as a refresher. When there is a disagreement between team members or when everyone is not on the same page, you should be able to take a breather and gather your thoughts so you can effectively come to a consensus about what needs to happen and take place to get everyone back on the same page to attain the common goal. You can’t get frustrated or just throw in the towel or the work won’t get done or someone else will have to end up covering down on what you are supposed to be doing. When the mission or task is not completed, then the entire team fails and no one likes to fail or be a failure, I know I absolutely despise failing. Another positive reinforcement is to attend team building functions so team members can get a little comfortable around one another in an informal setting so when they go back to the workplace, they will feel comfortable enough to handle situations better without feeling offended or not knowing what to expect from the other person.
