SA03 - Team Leader Flashcards
teams
A team is a group organized to work together
groups
A group is an assemblage of persons or objects located or gathered together.
groups vs. teams
it is worth noting that all teams are groups, but not all groups are teams. The distinguishing factor seems to revolve around the collective effort toward a shared goal that all teams demonstrate.
mission statements
define the “where and what” work centers, units, wings, etc. accomplish on a daily basis
vision statements
As a mission defines the purpose of an organization, a Vision defines that purpose in connection with the organizations values.
team dynamics
an ongoing process involving interaction of individuals within a team to achieve the desired objective
5 stages of team development
Forming Stage, Storming Stage, Norming Stage, Performing Stage, Adjourning/Transforming
Forming Stage
When a team is forming, members cautiously explore the boundaries of acceptable group behavior.
Storming Stage
This is where team members want to know the goals and objectives. It is as if members jump in the water and, thinking they are about to drown, start to thrash about.
Norming Stage
During this stage, members reconcile competing loyalties and responsibilities; there is an attitude change.
Performing Stage
the team has settled its individual relationships and expectations. There is a sense of high morale, team loyalty and trust.
Adjourning/Transforming
Adjourning takes place as the team begins to break up and individual members move on to other activities. Transforming teams continue to exist, moving from one objective to the next.
