Management Concepts: The Communication Process

During the 1970’s, Dr Meredith Belbin and a team of researchers conducted research on a number of teams in an attempt to discover what aspects of a team’s dynamics can contribute towards the teams overall success or failure. They discovered that the success or failure of a team was not dependent upon the individual team members intellect but upon their behaviour. Following Belbin’s publication in 1981 of Team Role Analysis he concluded that there are nine key roles that are aligned to an individual’s behaviour that can contribute to the make up of a team. It is essential that as a leader I am able to understand the possible behavioural role that an individual may exhibit when

However, diversity of the group is not managed properly and conflicts are not handled effectively because of poor communication. There is a serious degree of trust problem in the team. For example, Merz has not much confidence in team members’ competence and she is not believing in their ability to deliver the product. Therefore, we can’t talk about a team efficacy for this team. Everyone asserts his/her expertise and experience but no one regards and trust each other’s. Lastly evaluation system of performance of the employees is a serious problem. While they were working both in the project and in their functional areas, they were evaluated only on the basis of performance on their functional area. This situation definitely destroys motivation of the team.

Whenever we form a group or team at my job one of the first things we do is assign and define roles and responsibilities. Motivation and satisfaction of team members can be increased when they are assigned roles congruent with individual strengths and abilities (Fischer, n.d.). This task could help eliminate your issues concerning role conflict. When a group has an assigned leader it can function without the continual question of who is in charge. Additionally, assigned roles can help with your groups’ competition of what individual or job is most important; everyone can recognize the uniqueness of each individual’s

When teams are performing at their best, you are likely to find that each team member has cleared responsibility. You’ll also see that every team member needed to achieve their own personal goals in order for the team’s goal to be fully met to an adequate level. Dr Mereditch Belbin studied team work for many years and he mainly observed that people in teams tend to assume different roles within the team. He defined a team role as a “tendency to behave,

Personally, the three most important key roles in a team are: Coordinator, plant, and Team worker. A coordinator has described by Belbin is a team manager and a task delegator. I believe that the most important role in a team is the coordinating role. A high performing team needs an individual that will take the coordinating role, this individual will assign tasks according to strength of the members, he/she will evaluate the members’ abilities and then assign each member with suitable task, he also states the goal of the project and monitor the progress of work.

The ideals and understanding behind management has varied largely throughout recent years and new theories and strategies have been developed to help managers and organizations succeed. The ability to succeed for any business or organization relies heavily on the abilities of the manager. No managerial position is the same as there are a multitude of variances and the organization’s industry in which they conduct business is key. An example of a specific industry with immense managerial needs is the construction industry. “Construction project management is the strategic planning, coordination, and overall control of a construction project from start to finish.”1 Karl Hinkle is the current vice president of Tarraf Construction based in Eden Prairie Minnesota.
