What is the team

In 1994, the authority of organizational behavior, the United States Professor of Management at the University of San Diego, Stephen Robbins, first proposed a "team" concept: In order to achieve an objective by the interaction of individuals formed a formal group. In the ensuing decade, the "team" concept swept the globe.

 

Teamwork is a show to achieve the goals set out voluntary cooperation and concerted efforts spirit. Which team members can be mobilized all the resources and talents, and will automatically rid of all the discord and injustice at the same time will be given to those sincere and selfless dedication of those who appropriate return. If the team out voluntarily, it will produce a powerful and long-lasting strength.

Teamwork and think-tank

Form a team like the think-tank, but there are significant differences between think-tanks.

 

In your think tank, you will be organized into various independent small groups of people, you have a strong desire for a common and clear objectives, and promotion from the growing enthusiasm, imagination and knowledge to obtain a clear interest. Teamwork situations and think-tank co-operation is very similar patterns, but there are significant differences. As a member of the team may or may not have the same strong desire and clear objectives, so you have to work even harder on making the team members continue to contribute to the work. At the same time, you should ask ourselves, as members continue to make contributions and to explore their desires, giving them an appropriate return.

 

Can be seen that the principles of teamwork and the think-tank The difference is: the former is for all members of an organization, the starting point lies in the mobilization of team members in the efforts of all parties, but these efforts may not have clear goals and mutual harmony; while the latter against the other hand, is directly involved in the consultation, decision-making and leadership of a small number of think-tank members, and those between members of clearly defined objectives, as well as an important factor in harmony with each other, the starting point is to fully stimulate the wisdom of all members, and this wisdom into one single a joint force to achieve its objectives.

 

Misunderstanding the triple team

Misunderstanding 1: "conflict" will ruin the whole team?

 

As the saying goes leaky house, every side with clouds and rain, as a private pharmaceutical R & D enterprise project manager Wang recent spate of bad news for upsets the bruised and battered: First of a new drug which lasted more than a year developing the project encountered technical difficulties, only half-way grounding; Soon after he was informed that, another well-known pharmaceutical companies through the introduction of foreign advanced technology, has successfully developed similar types of drugs, and adopted a medical examination and approval, will soon produce market.

 

Two years ago, Wang has been the owner of this enterprise with high salaries from the mainland province a large state-owned pharmaceutical enterprise technology chief position hired, in order to fully demonstrate their trust in him, the boss will be the project management of R & D, personnel matters and finances will fall into the right to have handed over Wang Ping, and appointed a master's degree Xiang returnees to assist its research and development projects.

Prior to the project, Wang Ping, and Li Xiang, who have each put forward a set of programs, and both refuses to compromise: Xiang maintained that the introduction of foreign advanced technology available on the basis of improved formulation and production process, so that not only quick and more technical risks small, but the drawback is the cost to pay a large amount of the transfer of technology; while Wang were in favor of self-reliance, self-developed with independent intellectual property rights of a full set of production technology, this drawback is that technology development at higher risk.

 

According to company rules, if the two sides adhere to assert, then they would get these two programs of research and development projects discussed in the plenary, finally make a collective decision-making. By Wang Ping years of management experience in state-owned enterprises, if the deputies are in business to generate differences in the presence of subordinates uncompromising face heated debate, definitely not conducive to the unity of the entire department, the authority of leadership is also a big challenge. In fact, he is also a lack of enough confidence to convince Xiang and the entire department staff, so he found corporate executives, even at the tricks the body with the utmost resignation onslaught, finally forced the owner of the program before submission Xiang out of the sector , thus avoiding a "violent conflicts."

 

This is a very strange phenomenon, the team managers are often reticent about the conflict, they will take various measures to avoid conflicts in the team, whether such conflicts are benign or malignant. Managers are no more than three areas of concern: some managers the conflict as a challenge to the authority of leadership, for fear of losing control of the team for the finalized and discuss their often decisive to choose the former; In addition, the over-heated conflicts tend to lead to a split within the team and bring harmony notes; Also, in the conflict hit a party will not only hurt self-esteem, self-confidence to members will also cause great impact is not conducive to the overall work of the team to maintain and enhance efficiency.

 

To become an effective, unified team, leadership must learn in the absence of adequate information and unified views of the timely decisions, decisive decision-making mechanisms are often at the expense of democracy and the cost of different views obtained. For the team leader, the most difficult to achieve within the team than to avoid being misled by false harmony, and to take various measures to guide and encourage appropriate, positive and constructive conflict. Will be to cover up the problems and different views on the table, through discussion and rational decision-making will either be resolved, otherwise, sooner or later one day to be hidden outbreak!

 

Misunderstanding 2: 1 +1 must greater than or equal 2?

In June 2004, with the most luxurious lineup of NBA history, the Lakers in the finals of the opponent was the first time in 14 years, the eastern part of the team into the finals Pistons. Before the game, few people would believe that the Pistons will stick to the seventh field. From the team's personnel structure, Kobe Bryant, O'Neal, Karl Malone, Gary Payton, the Lakers team is composed of a giant "super team", each member of a position of almost all of the league's best, coupled by the legendary Coach Phil Jackson for their integration, in the eyes of many people, it is 20 years of NBA history, the most powerful team to beat in the finals will exist only in their theoretical possibility, let alone rival a lack of big names of the civilian team.
