For this week’s discussion, imagine that you are an HR specialist and you have been called in as an expert to talk to an organization about what makes teams effective.
Utilizing knowledge that you have gained from your textbook, PowerPoint presentations, class videos, and other material, what would you tell the organization if they
were to ask you for two or three key factors that can make any team more effective? Keep in mind what the question is – and what it is not? This is NOT asking you to
“design” an effective team, but make existing teams more effective. In other words, you’ll need to focus on what things you can reasonably change (the organization
wants this to be practical and usable so that people can use this information right away).
After you have done this, read the posts from your other Group Discussion Forum members and see which factors/mechanisms/things they identified. Could you come up with
a group “top 5” list? Why are these the most important/relevant? Have you seen any of these factors being critical in your own experiences working in teams or in your
organization?Here’s a recent article (from late 2015) summarizing a few key factors that Google has identified as being important to teams:
https://rework.withgoogle.com/blog/five-keys-to-a-successful-google-team/. This is one example, from one company, and based on only their data (other research has used
many other organizations). So do not, by any means, limit yourself to this information or treat this as “Google said it, therefore it must be the full story”. You can
use this information as a springboard to further your discussions
