Teamwork competencies are detailed characteristics possessed by an effective team. Contributing writer of the AORN Journal D.L. Feldman suggests that “team competencies are achieved when goals are reached and team members are motivated to repeat this behavior again and share what they’ve learned with each other”, (Guglielmi, Feldman, Marco, et al, 2011, pg. 529). Google’s HR group possess all the the key team competency traits however how they developed and arrived at these traits are unclear.

Overall, I saw a really good performance from the teams I watched at the novice tournament.

I have witnessed in the past two teams where one of them was an effective and successful team and the second one was an ineffective and dysfunctional team. Both teams worked at a nonprofit organization. The members of the effective team were a good model that launched initiatives and new ideas to solve problems that faced the team. They also collaborated in a highly successful manner. While the second team experienced severe problems, which caused the whole team to become dysfunctional and had to be split at the end. Each team member of the effective team viewed the other member in a positive manner and there was no request of anyone to transfer out of the group to another team. They always gathered in a friendly atmosphere and there were no issues between members of this team.

It was not a surprise to me that I scored a sixty-eight (68) on the Team Effectiveness Self-Assessment Quiz, as I have worked with many teams. This score reflects that I am a solid team member working well as part of an effective team. However, there is always room for improvement. My two lowest scores were in Participation and Articulating Vision and Managing Conflict. Previously, I have had problems in both areas.

What do you do with a trouble kid? Not jail, too young for that, so jovial prison? Rehab? Let them stay home, but make them go to therapy once a week? What do you do? Team Skills is a program that take trouble youth, and ship them off to an island in the Indian Ocean. There they will work with the leaders and natives to rebuild homes, plant and tend gardens, and how to survive without the outside world helping. An escape to a place unknown where the trouble kid will learn the value of hard work, and work out their issues with the well trained staff who were looking for a 100% success rate. Pitching that to the government, Team Skills was born, and were ready to board their first plane of trouble kids and take them away, to hopefully recover.

Managing a team of people can be tricky, but it can be even harder when those people come from different areas in the workplace. Not knowing a fellow team member can put a strain on the ability to work together, but with the proper training, and management skills, any team can accomplish the goals set for them. For this exercise I was asked to select a team of people to search for innovative ideas that would put the automaker on the leading edge .

A team's effectiveness can basically be broken down into four groups which include context, composition, work design and process.

So what is the measurement of team success in professional sports? Is it number of wins? Is it the number of division titles or championships? Or is it the number of sellouts or amount of team revenue? Whatever it may be, the types of players you have on your team is important to reach any level of success. So how much money should a team spend on their players? Salaries of professional sports players are way higher that the average person. Lately, salaries of players in the National Basketball Association are increasing year after year. Even with a salary cap, teams can now spend more money on highly gifted athletes in hopes to bring division titles and championships to their respective organizations. So does spending more money on player salaries guarantee a winning team? Now you could go into free agency, and sign some of the biggest stars in all of basketball and think to yourself that you will be poised for a shot at a championship that year. However, just because you pay a top-tier player, it doesn’t guarantee that they will stay healthy. There are many outlying factors to a player’s performance. From the research I have found, the results are mixed regarding the relationship between team salary and performance. If an NBA team spends more money on player salaries, this does not guarantee a better team performance.

Karli, James and Scout, in their article (2013), “Economic Validation for Performance Improvement Initiative Based on a Strategic Team Development Campaign” pose the question, “Can team development increase revenue?” Such was their study conducted at a selected major casino, and they endeavored to sample the impacts on creating teams in an organization to boost revenue. The Casino’s executive management considered the values of implementing team-building aspects, in their endeavor to improve customer services and overcome low customer turnout, owing to the low spending trends of the customers (Karli, James & Scout, 2013). Besides, owing to the numerous emerging and current casinos offering

| Direct the team and establish objectives clearly. (A good way of doing this is to negotiate a team charter.)
