Team Building and sufficient teamwork from the case study
Team building is always a fundamental parameter that nearly every organization has been
looking forward to implementing with the intention of becoming more competitive across
different market platforms (Aga, Noorderhaven, and Vallejo, 2016). Again, one of the primary
reasons as to why a vast range of team leaders usually prefer to implement reasonable team-
building strategies is because it provides a perfect opportunity of coming up with new ideas
within the organizational boundaries that will always provide the first opportunity of various
operations to be carried out with a lot of ease and within the shortest time possible (Breuer,
Hüffmeier and Hertel, 2016). There are a variety of issues that I was able to learn about team
building and effective teamwork from the full case study. Firstly, to come up with a capable
team, there is the need to choose and a reasonable and reliable leader. Team leaders are usually
the core pillars of any given team since they are the ones to provide an appropriate path the entire
team should follow to make sure that various goals and objectives are attained within a proper
time frame (Guchait, Lei, and Tews, 2016). As a result, when building a team, there is, therefore,
the need to come up with various team leaders who tend to have a high level of flexibility when
it comes to inviting different personalities to join the entire team. This is clear from Chris deed
by making an extra mile of welcoming such an essential opportunity.
On the other hand, I also learned that to come up with a competent team; there is the need
to consider two different factors that will further provide an opportunity of evaluating the kind of
personalities that are required within the group. Firstly, during team building, there is the need to
choose people with better skills and are highly experienced to the extent that they can distinguish
the exact things that should be done together with the ones that should always be avoided. This is
one kind of team-building strategy that has been implemented by Chris in the case study, where
she was concerned with getting access to various professionals with excellent skills and
experience in the entire DSS consulting process. At the same time, team building and teamwork
are all about working together towards one direction to attain one specific objective as a team
(Hanaysha, 2016). Chris, who is part of the case study, had been focused on the need to have
various individuals who would be able to work together without any negative issues arising. This
is an effective and reliable teamwork strategy since the nature of the entire work that is to be
done within an organization is not able to meet its objectives if people encounter a lot of troubles

when it comes to working together as a team (Xyrichis and Ream, 2017). Moreover, for effective
teamwork to exist within the boundaries of a given organization, various team members need to
be able to adequately interact with one another since this is one of the perfect opportunities that
can provide an ideal understanding about a person's personality concerning what an individual
supports together with what he or she is against (Keavney, 2016). For effective teamwork to take
place within any organization, the team members need to be located together within the shortest
time possible. The co-location of the entire team is a fundamental strategy that provides the
whole group with a perfect opportunity for the team to get a quick start of various significant
deliverables that are likely to contribute towards the development of new products within the
boundaries of an organization.
Furthermore, collocating teamwork will also further prevent the entire team from getting
disrupted by several uncertainties that are likely to exist within the surrounding environment
(Lacerenza et al., 2018). For a team-building to contribute towards effective teamwork, it is
essential for the team leader to adequately identify various spaces together with a more
reasonable plan that is likely to bring the entire team together (Lykourentzou et al., 2016). Chris
is a team leader, was able to put a lot of focus in this kind of strategy to make her team move
forward effectively.
Concerning what is captured in the case study, I realized that for effective teamwork to
be implemented in any given organization, there is the need of the team members to be together
and share their respective experiences with one another. Chris believed that the first step that
would benefit the entire team is the ability to share their experiences and going as far as making
good use of their collective knowledge to adequately identify one or more new products that tend
to be having higher potential. Again, she believed that the initial job of the team members would
involve helping the entire group to pull together as far as their experiences are concerned. In one
of the organizations that I have been able to work for at one point, the sharing of experiences
among the team members provided up with an opportunity of coming up with various essential
ideas that were more reasonable since it was a collective form of thought which further enables
the whole team to overcome different barriers thus this led towards sufficient teamwork that was
focused towards attaining a vast range of goals on behalf of the entire organization. To scale up
high levels of sufficient collaboration, a group should be in a position of holding several

EDUCATION IN ANCIENT GREECE 4
meetings to discuss specific essential perspectives that are related to what the team is doing
(Manser, 2016). Sharing views through the holding of various meetings like what was taking
place within the group that Chris implemented is essential since it provides an opportunity for all
the team members to feel comfortable when it comes to sharing a vast range of essential
information with one another. If any form of disagreement is likely to emerge, this can provide
the team with a reliable opportunity to deal with the situation without the creation of any mode
of substantial delay (Moore, Everly, and Bauer, 2016). In one of the organizations that I was able
to conduct my attachment, I realized that sharing of various ideas among the team members to
scale up sufficient teamwork. It is one strategy that can lead to the realization of multiple
problems that needs to be solved to become very competitive. It made the whole team realize
that the organization's product was not unique enough to capture the attention of the targeted
audience. As a result, we had to go back to the drawing board to capture some of the best
strategies that we could implement to make sure hat the products became unique as much as
possible across different market platforms. All this can be done by the implementation of
effective teamwork. This means that effective teamwork can help to realize various issues that
could not be realized before without combining ideas from different people (Nikitenkoet al.,
2017). The same thing can be seen from the group that Chris was able to implement were one of
the significant issues that emerged from the whole discussion was that the small districts
appeared to be lacking any mode of integrated systems that could be used to link various plans
and budgets within a given time frame.
Rational management theory is the main idea of the business which is used to achieve the
goals of the organization. This is one of the continuing process in the organization which
influence the thinking ability of the people in organization. This theory is mainly used in the
team building process of the organization and maintain effective teamwork in the business
(Peleckis, 2015). The rational management theory so also used for taking several decisions for
the better growth of the business. This theory is used by the business manager who is responsible
for taking better decisions for the business (Kharchuk and Matviyishyn, 2012) The formal
structure used by the organization to set the goals of each member is included in the rational
management theory as rationale is based on the goal of each member in the business.

What was learned about working in managing a given team through the
preparation of the group's presentation.
Working in and managing a team through the preparation of a group presentation slide
PowerPoint is something that was able to bring on board a vast range of issues. Firstly, it brings
on board serious feelings that are related to motivation (Shaw et al., 2016). It brings a lot of
motivation to various personalities, thereby providing an opportunity to work hard towards a
given direction. On the other hand, I was also able to learn that it is all about generating a bigger
picture by trying as much as possible to be integrative and also going as far as focusing on
various issues that are related to ideation. At the same time, I came to realize that being
organized and detail-oriented when it comes to working in and managing a given team is
something that can be able to provide a perfect opportunity of achieving a vast range of problems
at an early stage to come up with appropriate strategies that will be used in the elimination of the
entire issue. Moreover, I realized that it is an essential strategy that further provides an
opportunity to set up various goals and objectives that will be able to give an appropriate
direction regarding the path that needs to be followed. This further offers an opportunity of
becoming more competitive in terms of delivering the products and services that are always
required within a particular time frame. Various team leaders need to develop a clear
understanding of how best they can still manage their respective teams through the
implementation of appropriate and reliable strategies (Sherstyuk, Olekh, and Kolesnikova, 2016).
This will make sure that a vast range of goals and objectives are attained within a stipulated time
frame, thereby providing an opportunity to scale up to higher levels (Stevens and Campion,
2016).
The work flow is too important in the business organization and the scientific
management theory is all related to the analysis of the work flow in the business. By analyzing
the work flow, the economic conditions of the business will improve and it also impacts the
productivity of labor. The scientific management theory also plays an important in the team
building and to maintain the team work (Bell and Martin, 2012). As the analysis of the flow of
work done by team is more difficult so the scientific management theory is more useful in this
process. The scientific management theory promotes the idea that there is one right way to do the
process. It is all related to the science of the engineering approaches used in the business.
