Self-Work Team Management
Introduction
Management of an organization plays the role of steering the organization toward achieving
organizational goals. Effective service provision, customer satisfaction, and employee’s
productivity are the primary objectives that management focuses as key drivers and process of
organization goals LEI (Wang & Pan 2018, p.46). Management is focused on a different level
depending on the nature of the business. Teamwork management has rapidly increased due to its
beneficial factors that have led to the most company embracing the self-management teamwork.
In this topic, I will discuss on self-team work management, benefits and effectiveness to the
organization.
Self-management teamwork is the management of a team consisting of employees who are
responsible for the production of goods and services in the organization (Hennekam & Bennett,
2016, p. 31). The effectiveness of the team is determined by the level of professionalism and
expertise knowledge the team possesses. Self-management of a team does not take place in every
company but is effective where the organizational culture supports decision making by the
employees. Companies support self-management teamwork since they are effective, cost-saving
and increase productivity. In this form of team management organization allocate the tasks to
individual or group of a department depending on their specialized skills or the function of their
work. Self-managed teamwork carries various roles in the organization. These include planning
on how tasks are to be executed by various team members, scheduling of task which ensures that

many results due to the bureaucracy that had power concentration in a central point of view
(Houle 2018, p. 89). The effectiveness of the self-managed team has been seen to yield better
results due to the effectiveness of team productivity (Omar 2019, p.7).
The self-management team has major benefits to the organization which enhance the continuity
and better productivity and service delivery. Having a better understanding of the task, the team
possess the ownership of the task they perform which results in delivering better products and
services. The team is less costly than the hierarchical structure of an organization which is
expensive. The team performs both technical and management task. The managers of the team
participate in task delivery through coaching and facilitate task delivery unlike directing and
controlling. This enhances efficiency since tasks are done effectively at the watch of the team
members. The integration of the task among the team that has a better understanding of the task
encourages learning and the interdependence of task involve to complete an activity reduces the
boredom that kills the motivation of the team. Sajatovic (2018) indicates that distribution of
power, authority, and responsibility to people closer to the consumers and enables the team to
have the responsibility of making appropriate decisions that suits both customer need and
company interest. The team can review the changing trends in innovation and make a better
decision to improve the quality of services in the organization (Lin 2018, p. 37). The flexibility
of the team enhances growth to the organization due to the distribution of team skills and
expertise among the team members. The team is normally responsible for their action which
