brings, team experiences and many other. Furthermore, this is essential for entity to understand
the intent of team. In simple terms, teams are inter-reliant groups of staff who come together
around a specific work, project or goals (Bauman and Lucy, 2019). Additionally, the groups
might be brought collectively for bridging a gap among departments or short term or long term
projects in order to attain pre-determined objectives. This report is based on Tanfeeth is

LO1
Introduce your chosen organization.
(Haas & Mortensen, 2016) In their review of what the Secrets of Great Teamwork is, point
out that teams today are quite different from the past, they are much more diverse, digital,
displaced and dynamic, but their success still lies in their ability to effectively collaborate
together as a core fundamental principle. Therefore, leaders and managers must be able to
understand what are the key factors that impact the successes of the team and vary from time to
time.
In our study we will be focusing on Tanfeeth which is a fully owned subsidiary of
Emirates NBD and was established in 2011 with the main aim of being the group’s shared
services entity. Tanfeeth in Arabic simply means “getting the job done”, and true to their word,
they have managed to fully support the group’s mission and vision thorough its dedicated team
1

of experts and leaders. Tanfeeth handles all back-office processes for Emirates NBD Group that
include strategy and transformation, Emirates NBD contact center operations, Emirates Islamic
contact center operations, collections, compliance operations, finance and accounting,
international payments, retail credit operations, wholesale banking operations, central operations
and service, human resource services, logical security, and procurement operations. Tanfeeth’s
end goal is to continue to raise the benchmark for customer service across the region and deliver
exceptional customer experience through partnership, passion & people(Emirates NBD Bank
PJSC, 2020).
Characteristics of a successful business team in your chosen organization.
Success at work highly depends on the ability of the team to work together in unison and
the ability of a manager to build a successful team. When people work together, they are able to
accomplish what individuals can’t on they own, this ability is known as synergy.
(Sturt & Nordstrom, 2015) have attributed five characteristics of successful teams whether in
large teams or small teams as shown below; These characteristics are aligned to Tanfeeth and
specifically to the strategy team where I have had the pleasure of working in for the past 1 year
now.
 Clear vision and mission: The strategy team at Tanfeeth have a mantra “knowing what
matters and applying it now” which is aligned to Tanfeeth goal of ensuring that we are
continuously raising the benchmark for customer service across the region. The team is
focused on individual output but they are all aligned to one common goal. They are also
motivated by the Group’s mission and strive to meet those objectives. Each team member
knows and values their individual contribution and know they personal effort build the
bigger picture.
 Inspiring and motivated leader; The head of the strategy and transformation team is a
leader who clear understands the vision and articulates them very well. A successful team
must have a leader who is humble and open to criticism and feedback. They support and
encourage team morale, individual development and are not afraid to delegate
 A Well-Coordinated and Cooperative team: Teams that are formed from a sense of
togetherness are more likely to succeed than teams that are not. The TBI Team at Tanfeeth
embodies the principles of togetherness in how they interact and do business. Its one of the
most coveted teams in the Group and peoplefrom other teams are always eager to join.
2

Because form an early stage when you join the team its clear that the team is supportive and
teams know how to leverage each other strengths, largely because the team understands that
with the diversity in knowledge and culture the team is stronger together.
 Constructive criticism and Communication: Teams that are open to feedback are likely
are tend to be more successful. Open communication and constructive feedback show that
individuals in the team respect and value each member opinions and shows that their
willingness to incorporate diverse viewpoints and hence become more productive and
efficient.
 Reward and recognition – Appreciation: Teams that recognize each other’s great work
tend to be more cohesive and stick together for longer. When people realize that thy efforts
are valued, they tend to have a sense of belonging and empowers them to do even grater
things. This is evident in TBI where regularly the team cheer on each other for great efforts
made by individuals during daily huddles or in the TBI monthly meetings.
The transformation team is responsible for the day to day running to all projects in the
Group form a business stand point. During the Corvid pandemic the team was tasked with
project continuity even during the work from home situation. The team worked tirelessly to
ensure all projects were running smoothly and that there was minimal delays and disruptions to
the over 100 projects in the group. With the support of the team the group was able to continue
delivering all their projects within the same schedules and time buffers.
Importance of team roles played in the successful business team.
Teams are essential as it may attain instead of any of members that could accomplish
individually. The group which perform effectually as well as efficaciously brings together, a
diverse range of competencies, characters and others are accountable to realise huge or complex
projects (Carter and et. al., 2019). Moreover business team involves several individuals with
various competencies as well as expertise who work together for common intent. So, some teams
of Tanfeeth are:
 Self managed team: The kind of team role played by individuals is much empowered as it
has authority to develop decisions. Every member brings a specific set of competencies for
developing informed decisions, accomplished assignment or delivery services for their
clients. The firm like Tanfeeth formed these kind of teams as this tends its staff to feel more
3

ownership of project. Also, this helps them to accomplish and deliver the project on time
and create good image with market during pandemic situation also.
 Cross functional teams: Within various entities, the permanent team members are
performing for collaborating with other departments to deal with specific events for firm like
new product launch. Within these circumstances communication among internal functional
units is vital for addressing project goals. In Tanfeeth, the role of respective team is to
effectively communicate among other department and accomplish the project objectives.
Using Belbin's model, you need to showcase what roles were played by you in the team as well
as mention your colleagues names and the role that they played in the team.
In order to evaluate the significance of team roles in effective group and showcase the
roles played through members, administrative of Tanfeeth utilise Belbin model where it monitor
team members behaviours towards task as well as their performance which is helpful in
determining benefits and limitations for developing whole performance of team members at
work area. Within this 3 aspects are analysed that are discussed below:
4

Action oriented roles: This is essential that concentrates upon developing whole team
members’ performance effectively. Moreover, this also states new thoughts transform them into
action for meeting the task deadlines. Herein there are three roles such as:
o Shaper
o Implementer
o Completer finisher
People oriented roles: This states overall ideas as well as individuals in together that
assist to develop performance of each team member in appropriate way. This also includes 3
roles that are:
o Team worker
o Coordinator
o Resource investigator
Through oriented roles: This assists in determining the options as well as facilitates
technical specialists that aids in developing effective procedures for developing the team
members performance level (Cleary and et. al., 2019). This is also called cerebral role such as:
o Plant
o Monitor evaluator
o Specialists
In Tanfeeth, while accomplishing various projects from home I played as team workers as I
am the most supportive group member. I also assist team to gel, utilizing its versatility to
determine the task needed as well as accomplish it in respect of whole group. Moreover, one of
my team members perform as resource investigator he is effective at extending and reporting
back on given opinion, resource and development outside the team. It is expert at establishing
external contracts as well as to perform out any kind of succeeding negotiations. Moreover, it has
capability to think by its own as to also probe another staff for further information.
Explain any two theoretical models
Various entities apply the theoretical model for establishing the effective business team
which may be productive for whole organizational profitability. Moreover, the theoretical
models are product for top authority as it develops the team strategically with intent to obtain
5

appropriate results from team (Cooper, 2019). The Tanfeeth utilize two theoretical models that
are discussed below:
Belbin model
This model is developed by Meredith Belbin in year 1981 ad it described the nine team
roles. All these roles are developed for defining as well as predicting success of team, identifying
strong team has diversity of personality. Respective model explain the roles as a propensity to act
as well as interrelate with another in efficient manner. There are mainly three action oriented role
such as shaper, implementer and completer finisher; three people oriented role like Team worker,
co-coordinator and resource investigator; three cerebral roles specialist, plant and monitor
evaluator.
Tuckman's team development model
This model was developed in year 1965. Tuckman explains performing with team of
social psychologists. It is essential as this identifies the facts which team does not initiate total
functioning. It also suggest development of team by various stages such as forming, storming,
norming, performing and adjourning from its groups of person, to consistent, task focused groups
(Finkbeiner and Finkbeiner, 2019).
Difference between both theories are:
The key difference among Tuckman and Belbin theory is that Belbin concentrates upon
person while Tuckman concentrates upon group.
LO2
Different stages in team development based on Tuckman's model.
Team development is considered as one of effectual aspects for Tanfeeth that assists in
attaining whole firm’s objectives in appropriate way. Respective firm team leader determines
several stages to build a group for improving its level of performance in effective manner
(Fleming, 2019). For instance, their leader utilize Tuckman’s team development model for
building an appropriate business team. So, whole stages are discussed below:
Forming: This is an essential step, where whole member of team are accumulating as
well as identify specific objectives. Herein, all team members are initiating to interact with one
another as well as also including into procedures of planning in order to determine the
requirements which they needs in accomplishing the activities. For example: As during COVID-
6

19 pandemic, Tanfeeth staff can not able to come office and work so they form various team as
department wise. In this their leader communicates with its staff regarding whole roles and duties
for developing effectual relations among whole group member.
Storming: This is considered as second stage where whole members of group are initiate
discussing regarding its task as well as share its opinion with others to accomplish the activities.
Herein, the relations between whole members are modified as whole individuals perform into
various style that may cause of enhancing disputes among whole individuals (Guinan, Parise and
Langowitz, 2019). For example: During COVID-19 pandemic situation also from home only,
various team members of Tanfeeth may discuss their activities through various online options
like video chat, phone calls and etc. so, this helps them, to work effectively and together at this
complex situation also.
Norming: Herein, teams are stated as effective stability as well as also try to solve and
obviate disputes situation appropriately. Within this, individuals also initiates appreciating one
another members based on its strengths as well as concentrates upon their objectives so that it
simply reach its goals systematically. For example; In Tanfeeth, all appreciates each members
tasks as all are they experiencing new work situation and try to perform well and enhance firm’s
profitability.
Performing: Herein, team states its position upon success manner as whole members are
encouraged as well as know one another and do its activities without any guidance (Hensel and
Visser, 2019). For example: In Tanfeeth, at this stage they implement or perform their plans or
task for attaining expected outcomes set through its higher management at home.
Adjourning: This is considered as end stage. Herein, manager dispersed the team when
task completed. For example: In Tanfeeth, during COVID-19 pandemic situation the group was
formed and as the situation get control they initiated working into premises so it removed team.
Whole above stages are very much effectual that aids them to develop a successful group
and attain objectives through performing effectively. Therefore, with assistance of it respective
firm leader encourage its members towards task so that it perform with full potential and
accomplish the work as well as obtain optimistic outcomes.
Plan how to motivate team members to achieve given objectives.
Motivation of team and their members plays essential role in building whole level of
performance that directly affects upon overall organisational success at competitive market. This
7

assists them to inspire individuals towards their performance as well as targets that assists to
improve whole staff productivity in entity (Kodama, 2019). Moreover, motivation is also helpful
in influencing team members that drives to perform effective at work areas. In context of
Tanfeeth, for attaining effective outcomes, they have to regularly understand the ways y which it
can able to encourage staff at appropriate directions as well as attain objective together. Some
ways that Tanfeeth can use to motivate team members are discussed below:
Provide positive feedbacks and rewards to team: The needs of optimistic praise is
sometimes neglected but show its appreciation and identifying achievement encourage the whole
members of team as it may observe themselves moving towards organisational objectives. When
workforce attain outcomes by giving their full potential or perform excellent task so its
management responsibility to appreciate and rewards them appropriately. Rewards can be in type
of gifts, monetary benefits and many more.
Facilitates opportunities for development: The member of team feel itself very much
valuable when it gain as well as maximise its competencies. For motivating and encouraging
their group to attain best outcomes they have to facilitates its staff growth opportunities
(Neumeyer and Santos, 2020). As theses chances have to be customized in specific way that is
suitable for each staff as well as may be in sort of future training, establishing challenging goals
and many more. In context of Tanfeeth, by concentrating upon enhancing team transferable skills
will assists them to utilizes into various post as well as inspire them to accomplish their objective
effectively (How to motivate and inspire your team to achieve better results, 2020).
Therefore, motivation play considered as a crucial part of Tanfeeth as well as it has to
regularly make every effort to develop their staff feel inspired and encouraged. If they perform
this then the organizational objectives can be accomplished during COVID -19 pandemic
situation in profitable way.
Application of motivational theory for team.
Motivating whole group member or employees is one the significant work of entity.
Through encouraging one another, firm may assure their growth. Also, it always enhances
energy to each group members as well as facilitates encouragement for performing to attain
objectives (Santos and Cardon, 2019). Moreover, it assists group members to maximise
productivity and influences particular member to drives towards specific work to their expected
objectives. For instance, Tanfeeth can apply motivational theory such as Alderfer ERG
8

motivational theory. This theory is formed by Clayton P. Alderfer and he transforms Maslow’s
needs into 3 requirements that are Existence, Relatedness and Growth. All three requirements are
described below:
 Existences needs: It consist Physiological requirements of team member that are clothes,
foods, air and other. Additionally this involves safety as well as security needs which enable
staff to feel protected at its workplace. The management of Tanfeeth may able to accomplish
specific requirements through facilitating them and their team members’ appreciation,
benefits and others. For instance, these requirements are accomplished then group members
can obtain persuade as well as work with enthusiasm towards the objective of entity.
 Relatedness needs: This regarded as the needs of society and self esteem mainly that arte
external. All individuals have efficacious relationship with its colleagues, team leader,
management and other for interacting with them as well as transmit societal position. In
respect of Tanfeeth, the leader or management may attain particular requirements of team
members through performing few types of informal get together which will be helpful in
forming bonding among group. It will also drive members to feel comfortable into team.
 Growth needs; It is regarded as needed which concentrates upon self actualization
requirements of team members. In respect of Tanfeeth, leader can provides training which
aids their members to develop itself as per time. Furthermore, this influences each team
member to become very innovative as well as productive during execution of any task or
activities.
Encourage open communication between team members to support team development
Open communication is considered as one of the essential aspects within entity that aids
them to develop successful business team in effectual manner. Moreover, team is stated as that
concept where above two individuals comes mutually for common intent and objectives
(Sergeeva, 2019). Within this, Efficacious communication is vital aspects that describe effectual
explanation among whole persons related to work that perform into entity for attaining better
goals at stipulated time duration. Without open communication, team do not become competent
to share its opinion as well as thoughts to other that enhance possibilities of raising issues among
them. In respect of Tanfeeth, team lose their motivation where each members do not perform its
work in well define way due to misconception. This has also determined that individuals
9

generally obviating formal meetings along with top management as well as also engage with
other task so that whole get discourage that enhance issues in groups as well as firms.
In addition to this, for solving problems manager should has to put more focus upon open
communication where each members of team may encourage and involve into various firm’s
practices as well as share its opinions to best outcomes. This is very much effectual for
organization and group performance that drives towards creating affirmative working
atmosphere at work area. Into his, informal communication also plays crucial role where
individuals take care about personal problems that assists in minimizing its issues efficiently.
Provide feedback through communicating with one another as this assists them to undertake
whole decisions regarding firm’s activities. This procedures aids employees to feel valuable as
well as participate into open communication for developing effective process to attain their
objectives. Also, this continuous updates regarding issues aids them to inspire whole team
members and attain specified objectives effectively and efficiently.
Evaluate ways of resolving conflict between team members.
Conflicts or disputes are considered to be the common aspects that raise into each entity
while performing the task. This is considered as affirmative as well as pessimistic affects upon
staff performance. When an individual’s shares its opinion or thoughts during planning then
sometimes disputes may take place within group (Thornton and et. al., 2019). Therefore, this is
essential for team of business as well as manager to concentrates upon the ways which assists
them to resolving the circumstances of conflicts. In this respect, there are few effectual means
that assists them to resolve the conflicts among group members some ways are describe below:
Effectual communication: This is considered as one of the efficacious ways to solve
conflicts with team. With assistance of effectual communication whole members of team
identified best solution and option through mutual concern that aids in entity like Tanfeeth to
improve its level of performance as well as minimizing the possibilities of raising disputes
circumstances.
Negotiation: This is considered to be the most effectual way to deal with conflicts when all
members stands to obtain something, everyone have few authority as well as interdependency.
This provides flexibility and possibility other reacts like confrontation, obviation and diffusion
lack. So, the negotiation procedures includes understanding both parties, looking for common
interest areas which is helpful to understand both point of view. In respect of Tanfeeth, this way
10

assists their team to understand each member and find out effective solutions in resolving
conflicts.
Brain storming: This is also regarded as the essential method for evaluating the benefits as
well as limitations of persons that develops appropriate procedures to solve whole pessimistic
aspects into group as well as develop its level of productivity (Wu, Wang and Evans, 2019). In
context of Tanfeeth, this method assists their team to get knowledge of one another strengths and
weaknesses which will be helpful in resolving disputes effectively and enhances production
level.
This has been determined that among all the above negotiation approach is effectual way for
resolving the team conflicts of Tanfeeth as herein whole members of team communicate with
one another related the circumstances of disputes as well as identify efficacious solution to solve
it appropriately. This also explains proper way where staff feels its effectiveness towards entity
and performs its in better way for obtaining positive outcomes. In case whole members of group
are satisfied with one other solution then conflicts get resolve and if they are not satisfied then
this directly affects upon whole team performance in pessimistic way.
LO3
Discuss how you would monitor the performance of your chosen team in which you are the team
leader, against given objectives
Monitoring the performance of employees is essential part for organisation which helps the firm
in achieving its business objectives. This is because it helps firm in identification of current
operations which are performed by employees (Bravo, 2017). Use of monitoring function helps
organization in effective utilization of resource. This is because it direct human behaviour by
regularly checking performance and improving it at the time of requirement. In relation to
Tanfeeth, it is important to use monitoring process in organization for which there is requirement
of objectives. These objectives are mentioned below:
 Focus on achievement of laid organizations
 Laying down of key performance indicators so that there can be timely identification od
deviations.
 There must be setting of right targets that are attainable by team according to their
capabilities.
11

 There has to be alignment of between vision and team objectives
 Appropriate authority and accountability relationships are be established in the organization.
How to monitor the performance of team
It is important for organization to use monitoring performance in organization which is
helpful in achieving the goals and objectives in relation to organizational functioning. It is
essential for leader to manage performance of team member by regular monitoring there
performance and using these for achieving business objectives. In relation to current team, leader
will follow particular process which is mentioned below:
Watch employees work: It is a best suitable method in relation to monitoring
performance of team member. Under this approach leader has to identify the performance of
employee by watching them (Rudman, 2020). In relation to Tanfeeth, for watching the
performance of employee the manager in firm can use toll related to the interaction of team
member with customers. This will show the skills and abilities of employee working
organization. Watching the performance of employee 2 to 3 time in week is sufficient to fulfill
the condition of this stage. This is helpful to organization in managing the success of business
operations as well as help in achieving the objectives of monitoring the performance of
increasing effectiveness of performance indicators.
Help employees use self-monitoring tools: This is also effective tool which can be use
by leader to monitor the performance of employees working within team. In relation to
organization habits related to development of self monitoring helps the leader in knowing
employees about there performance in organization. Therefore, it will also impact on behavior of
team member and using the function in particular direction. In relation to Tanfeeth, this
program can also implement on organization because this is helpful in increasing the confidence
of employees (Kerzner, 2017). This is because it enable them to identify there performance by
using there self functions. This will also motivate them to achieve business objectives. Here,
leader can use tools like performance appraisal and self assessment of employee which will help
in self monitoring and using the requirements in appropriate manner.
Review work in progress on a regular basis: It is last step in the process of monitoring
performance of team where leader can use to monitor the performance of employee on daily
basis. This method involve monitoring and evaluating the performance of worker on regular
basis. This helps the leader in maintaining effective controlling on organization. This is because
12

by using this method helps firm in achieving its business objectives. This will also helps
manager, in achieving business objectives because it monitor the performance on regular basis
which provide idea to leader about performance of person. This is helpful to leader in managing
performance of worker within the team as well as understanding behavior of employee by
regular monitoring (Bernstrømand Svare, 2017).
It can be evaluated that following these steps in organization will helps in managing the
performance of employee by use of effective monitoring program and establishment of
relationships between leader as team members. In relation to current team this is helpful to
achieve the goals and objectives related to organization. These are focus on achievement of laid
organizations, Laying down of key performance indicators so that there can be timely
identification of deviations, There must be setting of right targets that are attainable by team
according to their capabilities and There has to be alignment of between vision and team
objectives.
How to improve the performance of team against the given objectives
In organisation, it is important to measure and pay attention to performance of team so
that objectives are achieved. There are many ways through which performance is measured such
as analysis of strength and weakness of every individual in team, continuous meetings,
understanding subordinates viewpoint and their way of perception. Moreover, performance can
be improved by use of reward system in which perks, incentives, are to be given by team
manager. It is crucial to aware about team performance so that allocation of task is done
accordingly. Then further, performance can be improved by accessing traditional performance
and then comparing them with new progress. Also, meetings are to be conducted at continuous
level so that ongoing progress is measured which is beneficial for achieving objectives within a
given period of time.
Furthermore, manager need to convert themselves into coach so that motivation can be
put and morale of team members get increases for longer period of time. Another way is that
regular checks of feedback regarding team so that suggestions or weak areas are identified for
which improvement can be measured. Through this, it gives an idea to team manager that what
changes are required to be made for accomplishing goals. By properly managing communication,
performance is increased because when information or message is transferred between team it
enhances that effectiveness of team to understand each other which also have positive impact on
13

performance. Commitment is also another way of improving performance as if team members
are committed to their work then it is easy to get the work done on time period. Through this, it
is possible to achieve objectives in a specific period of time. Building a strong commitment
towards work leads to higher progress. Thus, it is necessary to enhance performance of team in
most effective manner.
List out 2-3 recommendations on how you would improve the performance of the team.
For instance, I will link KPI's with quarterly appraisal. Another example could be, team lunch
after completion of every project.
Performance of team is an essential factor for the companies as it leads to handle
different issues within team members. Incentives is the great way of motivating the employees.
Whenever the organisation feels that the performance of employees are not improving and rather
they are not giving efforts, the organisation always feels that giving them monetary benefits will
make the employees increase their contribution. Employees reduce their productivity after 50%
of their targets. Tanfeeth is an employee centric organisation which provides a performance
based incentive system where focus is given to the quality and quantity of the work by the
employees. They feel motivated and always make their work in line with the targets. They
understand that the individual goal of the people in an organisation is to earn and Tanfeeth
focuses on them to make organisational goal achieved. It is recommended for Tanfeeth that it
should adopt following ways for managing team performance -
Establishing a system of measurement – There is need for measuring team performance
as it helps in improving performance of team. Tanfeeth must develop objectives and key results
(OKR's) across the team for effective functioning. This is a strategy which is helpful in planning
out the work and achieving forecast. OKRs must be created for both teams and individual level.
This can be used within Tanfeeth for increasing the overall performance of team members. There
is need to evaluate and analyze the needs and demands of different team members in order to
promote effectiveness within team work.
Engaging in team building games – The motto for an effective team is - “Work hard,
party harder”. The main characteristic of high performing team is to manage accomplishment of
goals and have fun after work. There must be regular breaks from work which are to be
provided for team members. This helps in managing productivity required for conducting
14

business activities. There is need to have engaged employees within team so that they can work
collaboratively and meet organizational goals.
Training and development -Companies provide training and development to the employees
which will make them effective and increase their efforts towards the organisation. The classes
are conducted by organisations to develop the skills which are required to perform their work.
Tanfeeth provides class room learning and various on the job training to the employees so that
they have
CONCLUSION
Based on the above report this has been concluded that developing a successful team may be
difficult as well as challenging because this brings together a various values, opinions up brings,
team experiences and many other. Moreover, two team development models are used such as
Belbin and Tuckman as this is helpful in developing a successful business team in effective and
efficient way.
