It is essential that there is effective communication to build an effective team. Effective teams need to work well together and that team cohesiveness depends on building strong relationships among team members. Communication is crucial and is driven by the team leader who will work with the team to establish ground rules and work to bring the team together so that it can accomplish its goals. All teams will go through expected stages of development, from forming to storming to norming and eventually performing according to Tuckman. Navigating through these stages effectively will help teams build relationships which in turn improves communication. Effective team communication can lead to both personal and professional development. Some examples of good communication are the holding of regular catch up meetings, active listening (by management and team members), regular feedback, clear vision and goals. In contrast to the above poor communication skills can have an adverse effect on team working. If team members are not communicating amongst themselves then

Often, cohesion is viewed from an affective perspective; as interpersonal attraction among members or to the group. However, cohesion can also be envisioned as "attraction to a collectivity" as opposed to an attraction to the individuals who make up that grouping. (Ratzburg, n.d.) It is important that every single member never work against each other but strive to work with each other toward their shared goal(s). Any negative force that threatens the team's success redirects itself into something positive as long as team members share the same purpose. Cohesiveness is a process whereby a sense of we-ness emerges to transcend individual differences and motives (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2004, p. 15). Some of the teenagers in the families did not approve of how their parents were acting on decision making. Since these people were actually neighbors in real life, these teenagers were friends with the other teens in the game. This caused problems because some of the parents were being immature and this caused the teens to rebel against their own family. In certain challenges the teens would not try as hard as they should because they disapproved of what their parents were planning. Finally, one of the mothers talked to them and explained that it was only a game and more than anything they needed to work together as a family first. The teen realized that this was more important and strived to help his team out.

In conclusion, managing communication in the organisation is important so as to perform basic functions. Managers should be effective communicators with high levels of fluency and professionalism and must be aware of the communication cycle to achieve team goals. Effective communication within the workplace like in the company’s technical office keeps the team involved in the delivery of customer focus which increases commitment to the organisation and make for a better relationship and understanding within the team. An effective communicator understands the communication process using the appropriate communication channel such as verbal, non-verbal or written communication. The correct use of the process helps to uncover barriers and determine effective preventive steps to avoid those barriers. Furthermore, within the communication cycle, it is essential to get regular feedback, which also helps evaluate and improve the communication process which in turn can be used as a basis to develop personal development plans, identify communication strength and weaknesses

Time-Out is the title for the proposed program, providing prevention and solution-based services to African American high school student-athletes in Hampton, Virginia (Baskerville, 2015). To begin with, this paper will provide a comprehensive program evaluation model for the program. Secondly, it will outline the evaluation framework the program will use to evaluate the program. Next, the paper will provide a timeline detailing when critical evolution task for the program will take place. Leading to, how program evaluation will maintain the program’s sustainability. From there, the paper will explain how the evaluation results will be shared with the stakeholders and the community. In conclusion, it will discuss strategies to create a culture of evaluation within the program.

A Program Evaluation is an important factor in determining if an agency is producing successful results. Usually a program evaluation is requested or brought forth by a specific concern that is in need of being addressed. This type of practice-based research method provides agencies with accountability. Sometimes a program evaluation is needed in order for some agencies to continue to receive funding to keep their programs, to meet accreditation standards, and to ensure clients are being helped by the programs (Royse, 2011).

The creation of a mentorship program is not an easy task. In developing a program for mentorship, many factors must be considered. The first of these factors in the relationship between a mentor and mentee. The program proposed in this paper focuses on developing a 1-to-1 mentorship experience. Prior to the initiation of the mentor-mentee relationship, it is essential to consider preparation of both mentor and mentee. Poronsky (2012) indicated that sufficient preparation of both the mentor and mentee is vital for a successful mentorship relationship. As part of the proposed program, the mentors and the mentee would attend trainings prior to the initiation of the mentorship program to set forth the purposes and expectations of all parties

The program evaluation will use a mixed method-approach drawing data from both quantitative and qualitative data sources. The data will be gathered and determined that it is valid, accurate and reliable. Upon summarization of the data a list of recommendations will be developed based on the results obtained. These recommendations will be valid and justifiable in order to alter or continue the program. These recommendation will be efficient, practical and capable of being implemented.

If I were the coach of a softball team and had to formulate a pre-season, in-season, and post-season work out program I would start by making a list for each to stay on track. For pre-season, things I would bullet point would be; running, weight training, skill specific sessions and learning strategies. Next would be for in-season practices and this is going to be my maintenance phase. Last is the post-season part that is focusing on getting ready for the next year so I would bullet point these topics; weight training, running, skill specific practices, and leave room for participation in other sports as well.

Over the last two-year periods, hospitals have been experiencing lots of incidents and complaints by patients. The escorts treated hospitals patients in a very rude manner. The hospitals escorts did not perform their duties properly due to the lack of proper hospital courtesy. To make sure the applicants will fit into the company culture it is important to evaluate the escorts on a regular basis (Jackson, Schuler, & Werner, 2012, p. 234). Each department should have their own procedures to follow, and code of conduct. Unwritten rules, according to which people in a particular class, group, or situation should behave.

In general terms, a group is said to be in a state of cohesion when its members possess bonds linking them to one another and to the group as a whole. Groups that possess strong unifying forces typically stick together over time whereas groups that lack such bonds between members usually disintegrate.

What is Social Cohesion; it can be first defined by splitting the 2 words up. Social's root meaning is the word 'net' which is from Hebrew and Latin.
