Leading Team

Question 6: Small vs Big team

Smaller teams can achieve high levels of cooperation better than big teams. Benefits of small teams include:

Small teams foster monitoring

In large teams, a lot of them may not be actively contributing. Thus, wasting your human resources.

Smaller teams can become more specialised. It may be less faster for larger team to reach this level

It is much easier to get to know one another and become comfortable in sharing ideas.

Easier to round members all up and build consensus

Smaller teams are more entrepreneurial: Faster decision making and members can find faster and better way to solve the problem

Individuals may feel as though the amount of support they get from others decreases as the size of the team increases

Larger teams make it harder to extract the individual contributions and performance of each person. Thus, increasing social loafing

More engaged employees

Big team may have more diverse and highly educated members

Question 7: Individual dilemma

Intensified the dilemma

Members are diverse

Varying individual goals

Fear that other members will have different work ethics

More difficult to get to know the members virtually

3 Main dilemmas: Give up Independence, Put up with free riders, Teams are sometimes dysfunctional

Question 4:

Distributive Negotiation: Adversarial negotiation in which parties compete to win the most resources and give up as little as possible

Integrative Negotiation: cooperative approach in which parties attempt to reach a win-win solution

Negotiation: Involve in give and take discussions and consider various alternatives to reach a joint decision that is acceptable to both parties

Question 3: handling conflict style that is typically used

Typically use collaborating style

However,in instances like Group project conflict when deadlines are near, this style may not the best. This style requires negotiation to enable both parties to win. Negotiations may take time. Nevertheless, we may not have much time when deadlines are near. Thus, Dominating style may be more appropriate because quick and decisive action can be achieved to meet deadlines.

Question 2: 5 elements of high performance teams

The most difficult would be diversity of skills and Unambiguous roles.

Differences in race, gender, ethnicity and cultural background may be the key to achieve diverse skills. However, it may lead to conflicting views. The differenes may inhibit collaboration. Thus, members may be less likely to share knowledge or exhibit other collaborative behaviors

The 5 elements include:

Question 1: Difference between team and group

In a team, people sublimate their individual needs, desires and egos.

Team shares common purpose that requires them to depend on each other

Team is when work of the members are related and members interact regularly. Group is when work of members are related but they don't interact regularly.
