ASSESSMENT
1.1features of effective team performance
 Clear direction: Team performance is all about clear sense of goal and measurable
objectives. This make clear each and every person that why team and team work is
important. Clear direction very important in health and social care or children and young
people’s setting (Ibrahim, Johar and Rahman, 2018). Because in hospital and
arrangement for children's a right direction is important. Without direction and good
guidance in medial and health care sectors and also children's cares not possible.
 Clear communication: Also, The communication is very essential thing each and every
kind of team. Without communication health sectors task are not manage and also
without communication children's and youngster are not guide properly. Because their
mindset are not much mature to understand the whole things around them.
1.2 Challenges experienced by developing teams
There are various challenges which are realized by each and every team while work in
group. And also those challenges are become hurdle in team task in welfare and social work or
children and young people’s setting such as lack of divers skills and interests, lack of
interactions, poor of leadership, confusion about their roles and duties, inappropriate work
culture and that all things create conflict in medical sectors and the children's and young peoples
settings.
1.3 Challenges experienced by established teams
When a team completely set and start performing their task they actually face the
problems and issues which are related to the operation and functioning task (Chesluk and et.al.,

2015). In these types of established team their complete task is on goal and aim of the
organizations, so they are also faced issues and challenges which are related with the goal and
object of firm. The other objection to an established team is the attribute to check that group unit
shuffle their contrary effort to the team up duty accordant to their individual features.
1.4 Challenges to effective team performance can be overcome
There are some remedies which are helpful for overcome to challenges of effective team i.e.
Every team design a blue print about their task which includes the plan, missions, vision,
strategies and goals which are achieved by the group work or inspire the team members to
achieving the task.
The another remedies from overcome to challenges of effective team work is clear roles
and responsibilities. In team work is very important that assign roles and responsibilities are
clears each member of the team (Brewer, Flavell and Jordon, 2017). They are known that their
job, duties which are performed by them, various responsibilities which are accomplished by
them etc.
So, with help of these policies any team can remove and can be overcome of challenges of
effective team. Also, with the help of these policies and procedures health and medical sectors
can remove the challenges related to the team work.
1.5 Management styles may influence outcomes of team performance
Management styles such as decision-making, may influence outcomes of team
performance. They are pleased to effort their personal sector and form judgement respect policies
and process (Lasrado, 2017). They try to control over all the department by following their awn
rules and norms. Just because of these types of decision-making policies team performance may
suffer and the performance of team may goes down.
The another things such as the culture and environment of an organization also influence
the result of team. If organization environment is enthusiastic and healthier than it will
automatically create encouragement in team work and team productivity will enhance but in case
the culture of company is full of conflicts and politics it will directly or indirectly make impact
on team members and the outcomes of team go down (Mesmer-Magnus and et,al., 2018). If
health and social care sectors provide healthy environment to their team members obliviously the
performance of team increase and it will also enhance the profitability.

1.6 Methods of developing and maintaining Trust and Accountability
There are several methods available by which can improve the trust and accountability of
team or the organization. The very first thing is integrity, it is not only important thing in trust
and accountability but is also very essential for foundation of company. It is start from the top
management of firm to the bottom management. In this every one keep promises, and always
says truth and faithful things which is core in firm (Herdman, Yang and Arthur, 2017). That
things in company will make employees trust and believe in the firm. Company also enhance the
trust and accountability in organization by regularly communicating with employees and team or
by the feel them that they are assets of the company. With the help of these things they will
understand their responsibilities towards the company and will shows trust in organization. If
health and social care sector or children's and young peoples settings using this technique in their
department they will definitely achieve success.
1.7 Methods of addressing conflict within a team
 Bargaining: This is the best approach for solving the conflicts within the team. In this
method a leader of team or third party deals with both parties for solving their issues. In
this approach leader give an appropriate solution on their problem if the parties are ready
to accept than the problem is solved.
 Direct approach: Direct approach is effective method for solving the issues and conflicts
of team. This method is focus upon the advanced problem head on, by perception at
conflict and face that issues actually as they are (Zhang and Cui, 2018). This method is
helpful for solving issues and conflicts of team and usually gives everyone solutions.
2.1 Components of a positive culture within own team
Always there will be some factors or components that will be make a strong or positive
culture in the team. These components are effective communication, enthusiastic team peoples,
work together and efficient team directing (Gharaveis and et.al., 2018). These all factors positive
work culture within the team. If all members of team are positive and perform their task full of
enthusiasm than it will automatically create positive environment in team. Also, the effectively
team leading also helping team members to stay calm and positive in team because they know
their task and also the way by which task is accomplish.

team, it is my accountability to promoting and enhancing positive culture in team. With the help
of cheerful mental attitude I will promote enthusiasm in team. That things of mine also help of
team members to do something innovative and challenging (Herdman, Yang and Arthur, 2017).
As a leader of team my sight and object is making a healthier work culture, which is enhanced
the productivity of team members and stimulate them to accomplish high outcomes. These things
will also helpful for health acre sectors, they are also create a positive culture in their department
teams.
2.3 Use systems and processes to support a positive culture in the team
For supporting my team to support a positive culture, I would like to utilize leading
systems and process i.e.:
 Monthly team meetings: Monthly team meeting is important for making positive and
healthier work culture in team. By the meeting will know about saviours activities and
plan which are performed by the team. With the help of team meeting also know about
the problem and issues of team members and solve them effectively.
 Appraisals and supervisions: As a leader of team. I would like to use the method of
supervisions for examine the performance of team (Scimeca and et.al., 2018). With the
help of this method I will know about that how each and every member of team will
perform their task. I also evaluate the target and standard which are achieved by the team.
On the bases of their performance I will appraise their performance which is motivated
them.
So, this practices for positive team health and social care department can also use this will be
improved each and every member performance in team.

techniques which will improves the ways of working in team. For creating and innovative thing's
management can use strategies such as reward which can be monetary or non -monetary, use the
techniques of feedback and appreciations (Gharaveis and et.al., 2018). This technique improves
the creativity of team members, and they will show their innovation in the assign task and
projects. Health and social care and children's and young peoples settings department will use
this method for accomplish the task more effectively.

Some factors such as resource, skills of team members, external factors such political
factors, environmental are also impacted on team.
 The next thing which influence the team is the general decision and objectives of the
organization (Gharaveis and et.al., 2018). Because that decision and objectives are
equally applicable at all segments in the organization. And team have to follow them
perform accordingly.
With the considerations of these factors health and social care or children's and young people
setting department can manage their team work. Because they know what factors will affect the
team.

The success of team is depend upon their vision and strategies. Once that thing will be
done the next step arise is guiding or communicating. If leader of team properly communicate all
things with the team members they are easily understood the whole task, their duties and goal to
be achieved. There are some strategies which are use for the vision and strategic direction to
team members such as Leader of the team clearly communicate with team members about the
expectation of the organization that means what they actually want from the team work. Also,
make clear that all the circumstance and critically things which has been faced during the team

skills and have quality to guide their team. Strategic directions are needful in team when the
team have to perform some critical or challenging task (Schouten, van den Hooff and Feldberg,
2016). To determiner practices needs a various style of reasoning somehow to state the
accessible resources to develop and strategize. These types of thoughts equality centred synthetic
position with the manlike attribute of scheme making. Health and social care or children's and
young peoples department can also use this strategic direction for providing the right influences
to their team practices.

received several opportunities to prove their knowledge, skills, interest and ability. The group
united targets will be derivable from the companies subjective; hence members of team be in
place to attain those targets. All the members of team directly concern in preparation and develop
