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. In the group the team members are as under (For the benefit of readers, creativity and best world- view on project we have listed here 4 top richest billionaires)
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.
