TEAM MANAGEMENT2Team ManagementThe importance of a team has recently become known and appreciated in almost all forms of organizations that have a certain number of goals and targets they aim to meet. A team enables individuals to work together to achieve these goals and targets effectively. In a team, individuals manage to organize themselves about the roles and duties that they are expected to carry out. Almost all teams have team leaders whose main role is organizing the team members and ensuring that they are fully capable and willing to ensure the team meets its goals and targets. The responsibility of meeting the goals and targets of the team is, therefore, much more of a team leader than it is to a single team member. Team members are not simply asked to join the team without an assessment and consideration of the role that they will play in the team. Depending on the role and duties that the team is required to carry out, individuals are required to join according to the contribution that they are required to make. The process of formulating a team is thus of significant importance in determining the effectiveness of that team in future (Monash, 2017). This paper assesses this process and mainly aim to provide a critical evaluation of the statement, “Effective designing of teams is an essential function of managers. However, team functionality and performance are critical ongoing challenges for managers to ensure organizational success.”To understand the aspects of the team and their importance, it is appropriate to evaluate the role that teams play in organizations. Currently, all the employees of the organizations are made to view their relationship with one another as that of a team’s member. This aspect is important because it helps them attain the understanding that both the organization and the rest of the employees relies on their input to succeed. If a single memberof a team does not carry out his or her duties and roles as required by the rest of the team, thatindividual has the potential to cause the full team to fail in accomplishing its goals and targets. With this regard, therefore, the concept of a team in an organization helps to motivate

Apart from this inclination, the other important role that teams play in organizations ishelping employees focus on a certain goal which is considered very important. Many organizations have established a team of employees to carry out certain goals and duties within the organization. An organization can, for example, have a sales team, a marketing team, an advertising team and a human resource management team among other possible teams. In these teams, each employee has a unique role that he or she is required to carry out. The teams also have unique goals and targets which they are required to carry out and become highly effective in, compared to other teams. With this regard, therefore, the aspect of team establishment becomes extremely important and beneficial to all the organizations.Theories of team establishment and managementA large number of theories explain different aspects of teams and how effectively they can be managed to provide value. A good example of a theory that describes team development and management is the Tuckman’s Stages of Group Development. This theory has its main purpose is to explain aspects of group and team development. The model basis its team establishment process into four main phases. The first phase which is explained to bevery import ant is the forming phase. In this phase, the individuals who will become the team members are gathered and selected. The theory explains this to be a very important phase in the process of creating an effective team because it determines the skills and capabilities of the individuals that will become team members. The capabilities of a team are defined by the capabilities of the team members and thus this phase significantly defines the limits about skills that the team will have (Happy Manager, 2017).
