To determine:
This question seeks to point out behavior characteristics of best and worst teams in terms of personal satisfaction and team performance. Two teams are formed and each member lists out his team's positive traits leading to effective performance (called 'This') as well as negative traits implicit in worst ranking. We then have to discuss factors influencing presence of behaviors responsible for effective team work ('This' factors) and those influencing presence of "That" behaviors which prevent effective team work.
Introduction:
Team performance and personal satisfaction are interrelated. If there is no personal satisfaction effective teamwork will be a far cry. So effective leaders have to be aware of these factors so that these positive behaviors can be developed and nurtured in order to get superior world class team performance.
Here we have formed two teams 'A' and 'B'. A is ranked best team; conversely, B is ranked worst team. These teams are judged on the basis of a "Special Project work related to finding best multi bagger value creators by the team to invest one billion dollar spare funds lying with the company.

Group members are- Team A- 1. Warren Buffet, 2. J.K.Rowling
Team B 3.Bill Gates 4. Peter Lynch
I am member of team A and representing Warren buffet as the group member.
For team performance and personal satisfaction, various positive traits like cohesiveness, raising the bar, flexibility and feedback are needed. Factors having these traits are in Team A which is winner and in 'This' category with behaviors for effective team work. Lack of these factors has prevented growth of team B in "That' category with behaviors impeding efficient team work & performance. In a class scenario each of the 4 members discusses essential ingredients to make effective team working.

- A bank loan officer who was taking medication for depression had numerous drinks at a local bar, went to a cemetery, and, with a gun in his hand, threatened to commit suicide. He eventually drove off but was intercepted by the police and committed to a psychiatric facility for four days. His physician certified that he would be able to resume all of his duties in a week, but the bank balked at reinstating him. Officials at the bank expressed their shock that he was released from the hospital so quickly after threatening to kill himself. He was told that he could not be immediately reinstated because of “the impact of your action in the community and on the ability to perform your job.” He was placed on a leave of absence and then terminated.

- Please original work Which is better: to buy through one channel or several channels? The obvious answer is to have multiple channels available–order from the Web, make returns at the store, check on delivery by phone - and have all of those contact points able to pick up where they last left off. Is there any advantage to the customer using only one channel? Why does research show that customers who use more than one channel are more likely to be more valuable than those who use only one?

Many laws have been passed that give employees rights that unions cared deeply about, e.g., FMLA, OSH Act, FSLA, etc. Does that mean that unions are no longer needed? However, there is also evidence that an ever-increasing part of the pie is going to an ever smaller group of individuals.
