2ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGEAnswer 1In relation to the five elements of team work effectiveness, as suggested by Azahari,there are other relevant elements which also help in promoting effectiveness to the team worklevel. In modern days, it is very important to build team work in any organization, due to theever increasing competition, changing consumers’ expectations and preferences, newtechnologies and more developments. The key elements to the successful team work arecommunication, effective leadership and trust. It is true that without communication andtrust, the team may face several challenges in functioning efficiently and effectively. It isimmensely necessary to begin the whole procedure of organizational team work withcompany’s leadership team. It will assist in focusing on critical goals and create businessstrategies for the enterprise (Waddell et al., 2013). In addition to this, there is also a procedure of communicating the mission, vision aswell as values of the organizational team. The teams are generally responsible for the overallplanning and execution of the company’s mission. It is highly important that the teammembers trust each other and carry out the responsibilities assigned to them. The marketingplans and other operational plans will only succeed with the term-based planning as well asexecution. On recruiting for the senior positions of executive managers, the hiring managerswill look out for examples of building, managing and leading the teams (Johnson, 2016).However, the five key elements, in respect to the ones mentioned by Azahari, to manageteams are discussed in this segment. Trust among the team membersBuilding trust among the members, require some time. If the team members are notable to trust each other, then it may not yield better outcomes. Moreover, if a team lacksinternal trust then it falls under the responsibility of the team leader to focus on building thattrust. It is highly important for the leader to get the members of the team open up and sharetheir strengths as well as weaknesses, without any fear. In addition to this, the leaders need tomotivate as well as encourage the employees to share their issues and personal grievances, ifthey have any (Barth & Rieckmann, 2012). It is better to have an idea of the team members on the first place, to avoid any issueslater. In respect to this, team leaders can conduct exercises on team building. In many

3ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGEbusinesses, due to the time pressures, the leaders may have to undertake several measures forbuilding trust or even change the members of the team, to achieve the required results. Untiland unless each member of the team is able to trust others blindly, the progress towardssuccess will be stifled. A sound interpersonal relationship between the team members canhelp them achieve the mission and goals of the company (Cane, O’Connor & Michie, 2012).Engaging into the debates around ideasDisagreements among the team members can lead to several internal conflicts.However, according to leaked information, it is found that conflicts have a good side as well,if handled in a positive manner. If the concepts and ideas are not debated or presentedproperly, the team may miss out some great opportunities of finding the best solutions to theraised issues or problems. It is important to respect all the member’s proposed solution andthe team leaders need to pay attention to these things. Respect for the ideas and thoughts willhelp in developing a healthy debate. In addition to this, highly experienced teams have thepotential of being adaptable as well as flexible to the changing environment of working.Team goals, strategies, tasks, members and even workflows can change over the period(Carlström & Ekman, 2012).The members of the team are expected to rally together as well as meet newchallenges, rather than fighting over those. Interpersonal relationships and inter teamrelations are the two most important factors, which the members of the team need to keep inmind. Moreover, team leaders are supposed to introduce new challenges on a regular basis, sothe members can get accustomed with it. Change is one of the most unavoidable parts of anybusiness. Therefore, having the ability to adapt the changes can make the teams moreeffective as well as efficient. Their performance level and standard would also get benefittedthrough this. In addition to this, this helps in bringing in new concepts or ideas intorealization. It is highly necessary to keep all the lines for effective communication processesopen to the efficient teams (Millar, Hind & Magala, 2012).Commitments and action plansThe team results come only as a result of the team commitment to the decisions of theteam. This also includes the agreement on the specific action plans. If few members of theteam are not consistent with their team commitments, the overall team will face theconsequences. It may even result to failure. The overall team may face severe failure, which
