| “The top 10 features of an effective team are: * clear purpose; * open communication; * constructive conflict; * effective problem-solving and decision making; * defined roles, responsibilities and accountability; * strong relationships; * systems and procedures; * experimentation and creativity; * measurement and self-assessment; * shared leadership.” For a team to be effective, they need to have clear

In the workplace, teams play a very important role in goal achievement. With the help and support of a team leader, the organization can become very successful as long as the team is effective and cooperative. There are many different leadership styles/theories that make each leader unique and effective in their own way. It is not just the leader though that has to be effective. The team as a whole needs to come together and being efficient. Team building strategies are very helpful and effective to bring everyone together. Although working in a team is very effective in most cases, conflicts can still arise. In order to bring everyone back together again conflict resolutions need to be put into place such as the problem solving technique.

After the selection of the effective team members, it is important to analyze the conditions that should be in place before the team is launched; analyze the team processes that unfold as the team begins its work; assess what should happen during the team’s launch, and

The regional racing series should consist of people who are interested in getting into the racing industry as a driver. The series should be called The Road to NASCAR. The races should be held in the capital of each state, and should coincide with big time races such as Bristol. The idea behind the capital of each state is the fact this this will generally be the largest population for each state and therefore the largest possible number of people to be marketed to. Many companies would be interested in sponsorship opportunities such as car repair centers, car dealerships, and fundraising efforts for causes such as cancer. The regional series should give the winner and runners up a chance to learn from one of the top drivers. If there is a

January 1, 1948 NASCAR is formed. NASCAR President, Bill France Sr.at that time. Re-visited the idea of racing the cars that people would drive on the street like late model family sedans, and since no other racing organization was using the idea.

On September 4, 1950 the Darlin International Race Way became the first Asphalt Super Speed Way to host a NASCAR event.

August 2, 1958 to August 2, 1992 "The King" one of the best stock car racers ever with 200 NASCAR Wiston Cup wins, 7 series championships.

Hendrick Motorsports made the huge announcement today that Dale Earnhardt Jr. has made the decision to retire from NASCAR after the 2017 season is over. ESPN shared that Dale has decided it is time to move on, but he will be finishing out the season and hopefully going out with a bang.

Chris’s opportunity was that people are constantly reaching out to companies for photo archives. She saw this with her previous work experiences with NASCAR. Fans were constantly reaching out to get copies of archives. These companies are unable to fulfill the request of these people fully. If these companies had someone who took control of all of these photo archives they would be able to fulfil these requests with ease. This opportunity prompted Chris to start her company. She understood the process she would have to go through to get these photo archives out there. Chris would scan and upload these images to online search engines. She would also tag them with easy to read labels so people could easily locate them. Her company would be able to make a profit by doing all of this.

There are several differences between IndyCar fans and fans of other motor sports. There are two main competitors within motor sports that have a large and loyal fan base: Formula 1 and NASCAR. Formula 1 is an open-wheel motor sport that races exclusively on open roads. With respect to IndyCar, Formula 1 has more of a global appearance and appeal. Formula 1 hosts races in countries such as Australia, Brazil, and Japan, while IndyCar has most of its races held in China, Canada, and the United States. Formula 1 is designed to attract more than just the western half of the hemisphere. With its large races in countries on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Formula 1 is able to capitalize on markets of people who are interested in motor sports. NASCAR is the obvious other competitor of

Although Tony George, President of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, created the Indy Racing League (IRL) to be a new open-wheel league that would compete with Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART), the new league was disruptive to open-wheel racing in the U.S. as team owners were forced to decide whether they would remain with CART or move to the new IRL (Ferrell and Hartline, 2014, p. 440). Because of his concerns that CART was losing sight of the interests of American open-wheel racing by putting too much emphasis on racing at road courses rather than oval tracks, turning too much focus on promoting top foreign drivers as CART stars, and holding events in foreign countries, George developed the IRL in hopes to bring support back to American open-wheel racing (p. 442). However, this was not the case at all.

With this year’s Indianapolis 500 being the 100th running of the famous race, the marketing team has been working hard to make this year’s race one of the most memorable in years. The past few years have produced a mediocre turnout compared to past races, which has lead Indianapolis 500 marketing team to state that the Indianapolis 500 is no longer viewed as the biggest racing event in the United States (Indy 500). Consequently, the Indianapolis 500 marketing campaign for this year’s race, has the dual purpose of emphasizing the race’s history and delineating their product as being more parallel with mainstream popular culture than in year’s past. We believe these efforts are wise because the Indianapolis 500 will continue to capture the legacy

These eight strategies include the following establish clear and inspiring team goals, maintain a results-oriented team structure, assemble competent team members, strive for unified commitment, provide a collaborative climate, encourage standards of excellence, furnish external support and recognition and apply principled leadership. The first of these eight strategies is to establish clear and inspiring team goals. Larson and LaFasto believe that effective teams are clearly focused on specific goals that seek to maximize team outcomes. These goals are meant to inspire the team to perform to their fullest potential. The next strategy of effective team performance is to maintain a results-oriented team structure. In order to maintain effective team performance team members needs to understand their role in the overall success and functioning of the group. They understand what is expected of them and they take responsibility for making sure they complete tasks

Teamwork is also one of the most important things because if there is like 20 people in teamspeak what do you expect when they're all screaming at you so I just ask a staff member to help us out and then the problem is as good as solved. It does not matter if they are a higher rank or a lower rank I will always do teamwork and help out the others as well as they help me and then the problem will be as good as solved. It might sound funny but I always have to do teamwork in my sport like soccer and because it's my favorite sport I am very experienced with teamwork as it is one of the main parts of soccer.
