Core Team Processes
- TR - TRUST
- TA - TEAM ACCOUNTABILITY
- MTC- MANAGING & TRANSFORMING CONFLICT
- LE- LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS
- TAD - TEAM AWARENESS & DEVELOPMENT
- OC - ORGANIZATIONAL CONDUCT
- TRS- TEAM ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Descriptions of select core processes:
- Team Accountability goes to the timeliness and quality of the team’s work product.
- Managing and Transforming Conflict and dissent are learned and essential skills – both of which are necessary for teams to produce timely and high quality output.
- A solid foundation of Trust among team members allows for open, healthy, and productive interaction. Members rely on honesty and candor rather than hidden or personal agendas. Individual input is considered and treated as a “building block” for members to construct richer and more comprehensive solutions to their assigned tasks.
- Leadership Effectiveness is considered crucial to overall team performance. If the team is a self-directed team then the aspect of shared leadership is crucial to their overall functioning and performance. Self-directed teams, just as leader-led teams, have their own set of factors which influence their core processes.
Team Development Considerations
Team synergy is evidenced by a dynamic interchange among the members working together in partnership on tasks and projects. With higher performing teams, changes in team composition or leadership offers both danger and opportunity to all stakeholders. Monitoring these conditions is important particularly in the case of a change in team leadership or membership.
Offering these teams with ongoing development activities and “off-sites” can deepen team-solving capacity by moving the team out of their comfort zone; these experiences will also enhance another core process- that of TAD- Team Awareness & Development.
Another benefit here is the opportunity to identify exemplary team behaviors which have the potential to be considered “best practices” for other teams in the organization to consider.
Consider…
Based on your knowledge of this team, which core team processes do you see as being strong?
And which processes are in the most need of development?
