Feedback is the positive ways which is help to motivate the employees for achieving
work goal of team. There is having a some question in employee mind by this they encourage for
attending meeting of apparel brand. Model of Tuckman help is help to create effective team
building at organisation. By this leader is able to give proper direction to achieve work goal and
ideas of performing task and its role.
In the team work having most of the issues which are faced by leaders, employer and
team members. That can be solved by leader in meeting and group work. Some issues can be
solved by in meeting that are communication and team issues. Issues which are solved in group
work that is work environment and organisation. That help to resolve problems of working
which are faced by employees.
b. Provide positive feedback to team member.
Feedback is very important part of the organisation to motivate employees and team
members. Team is important asset and biggest resources (Van Dun and Wilderom, 2016). This
help to give right tract to employees. Positive feedback enhance employee motivation, encourage
them to achieve goal. For that company uses rewards system. It is not possible to always give
incentives to employee. By this employee feels they are part of apparel brand and it is specially
important for build confidence.
14

Giving positive feedback help to encourage team spirit and positive work culture. By this
employee improve their work performance, communication skills and team work spirits. For
example: management of apparel brand give positive feedbacks to employee. By this, they are
highly motivated to achieve goal of company. But some time is feedback creates conflicts
between employees. At that time management have to take any decisions for equal performance
feedback.
In this situation, management can apply situational theory of leadership, by this theory
management is able to reduce conflicts between employees. It is most effective leadership theory
that help to handle any situation. According to this theory employer give proper direction of
work, support and encourage them for working. By these employees motivated and do work

and team members.

15

Stage 1. Forming
This depends on leader's guidance and direction. In that leaders of Apparel brand have to
clear roles and responsibilities of team member job roles. For that they can give proper directions
to employees. By these leaders are able to solve any problem related to team work and its
direction. For example: when employer give proper direction to employees for work task, then
employees can do effective work with good result (Santos, Uitdewilligen and Passos, 2015).
Stage 2. Storming
Decisions and ideas not come easily within team. There are needs to be focus on the
goals of team work by avoiding emotional issues (Tuckman forming storming norming
performing model, 2017). For that management of apparel brand have to clear purpose of work
to team members. For example: when leaders clear goal and aim of work, then employees able to
create right ideas for working. By this employee do work effective with good result and leaders
able to solve any problem which is related to work direction and ides.
Stage 3. Norming

are playing in task and employee ready to perform their role in task. At this team share their
vision with leaders of participation. By this team is ready to work together for achieving goal and
also creates positive relationship with employees. Employee feels comfortable with work
environment, then they share any their problems with leader and leader of apparel brand able to
solve any problem and issues of employees and team members (Choi, Kim and Kang, 2017).
By this model leaders are able to solve problem of employees by giving proper direction,
generating ideas, remove conflicts and perform well to achieve work goal of the company.
e. Identify the problem of performance and give solutions.
Problems are varied from the individual to individual and situation to situation. It is
important to identify the problem which are happing in team. Problems are as follows:
Communication issues
It is the very biggest issue of employees when performing their work and task. In that
includes unclear job role, conflicts over and division of responsibility. Leaders have to clear roles
of job task to team members (Parke, Seo and Jin, 2016). Employee is not get right message with
leaders then they unclear. It is the major issues at workplace. It can be solve by job instruction
training method. According to this leader give proper instruction of job role.
Team issues
Team issues is having every team. That can be happened by misunderstanding between

brand can give proper training of equipment and software uses at work place.
Work organisation
17

Organising work is difficult task in team and also difficult to assign work to team. It is
the problem which is faced by team members and leaders. That includes by supervision issue,
mistakes and workflow issue. This problem can be solve by giving coaching to team members
when team members have proper knowledge of work and task then there is no require a
supervision of employees.
That are the problem which are faced by the leaders and team member when they are
performing task and roles of work. That can be solve by leaders by giving proper training and
coaching. This help to improve work performance of employees (Webster, Hardy and Hardy,
2017).
f. Work through issues which can be solve in meeting.
There are various problems which are faced when employees working. Most of problem
can be solve in meeting and some are depends on situation. Problems like communication issues,
team issue, work environment, work organisation and difficult to make decision. In that having
some problems which can be solve in meeting that are as follows:
Communication issue
Communication is a very biggest problem in perform work task. It can solve in meeting
by giving proper information related to work role. In that employees are listened carefully to
leaders and able to address properly (Chen, Klyver and Zhou, 2018). Communicate effectively
with team and employee. That help to do work effectively with good result of performance. In
meeting leader of Apparel brand address and provide proper brief of work and employee follow
this when they working. This help to reduce conflicts and miscommunication problems. It is also
helped to employees for addressing effectively.
Team issue
Team issues are most common issues which are happing in team. This create when
employees working together then they are unable to consider ideas or approaches for work. In
that meeting it can solve this problem because their leader give proper direction of work and give
proper ideas of working like how to do work that finished fast and when to do. By these
employees get proper ideas of working. It helps to save time and create ideas of work early.
In the meeting both problems can be solved by leader by giving proper direction of work.
Proper direction of work is effective way of doing effective work with good result of
performance (Tasheva and Hillman, 2018).
18

In the meeting leader is solved some proper which can solve by proper direction but some
problem are that cannot solve in meeting. That are solved at the time of working and leader note
this problem that are as follows:
Work environment
Work environment is the element which cannot solve in meeting. It can be solve at the
time of working with group members. By this problem employee is not feel goods and safe from
work environment. At this time leader of Apparel brand creates positive and friendly work
environment for employees. By this employee and team members are happy with work
environment and do work effectively (Johnson, Mason and Gray, 2017).
Work organisation
Work organisation is also problem which is not solved in meeting. It is solved in group
work. That include supervision of team member. Team member working their supervision is
important for analysis of performance. They are doing right work or not. They are eligible for
work or not. It is solved by giving proper training of work task. By these employees know about
work and do effective work.
These are the problems which are solved at the time of working. That help to resolve all
the problems of employees and improve productivity of firm.
Assessment 3
a. In what ways an open communication process was maintained
Below points explores in what ways open communication was maintained between the
stakeholders (managers, team etc.): Open Meetings: The organisation made use of open meetings and ensured that proper
conversations are taking place. Open meetings allowed the management of the
organisation to create such environment where the communication was smoothly taking
place and there were no discrepancies and miscommunication leaving behind. The idea of
open meeting allowed the people to be more specific about the details of the problems
and their solutions. People shared better views and generated enough attention towards
the problem. Also, it allowed the overall management to ensure proper growth and
development of the team and its stakeholders.
19

 Communicating via training: The organisation made use of effective communication
with the help of the trainings. Good communication with the help of the trainings helped
the organisation in both providing its employees with required information and skill
development opportunities. These trainings ensured that the team members are filling the
skills gaps and none of the employees are facing issues regarding proper growth and
development. It has been seen as an important aspect for the team members to be
communicated properly while being trained. This ensured that the organisation is
properly providing its employees with both better communication and ensuring their
training as well (Beauchamp, McEwan and Waldhauser, 2017). Emails: This is another effective techniques that is used by the organisation to maintain
strong communication. Emails were used in order to converse with one person to another.
This allowed the people of the organisation to maintain smooth communication without
being interrupted and facing difficulties. Emailing ensured good communication between
two people or a number of people, allowing them to share their views and opinions. Also,
the usage of e-mail was cost-effective and helped the organisation to save its expenses on
a large scale (Rego and Simpson, 2018).
 Using Presentations: The management made use of presentations in order to successfully
explain its messages and ideas to the team. Also, this is one of the core aspects that the
organisation made use of to maintain strong communication with its stakeholders, team
etc. The usage of presentations made it easy for the people to understand and evaluate the
shared views.
b. In what ways the communication process was maintained and initiated
To ensure proper communication the team was made to understand each and everyone's
point of views, opinions, etc. during the process of open communication. The input allowed the
team to be more favourable towards being more open while speaking, sharing their views etc.
During communicating while training, the input made was to understand the requirements of the
team to make them get the best out of the training sessions. The team requirements allowed
more space in analysing and evaluating their core demands and in what ways these demands can
be fulfilled to achieve required objectives. Emails were properly written down and were being
proofread by the one who is sending it. It allowed smooth sharing of views and opinions easily
between the stakeholders. At last, the presentations were made in order to share the required
20

views as per the understandings of the stakeholders. It made it easy for both of the management
and stakeholders side to maintain effective communication (Van Thielen, Decramer, and
Audenaert, 2018). Below mentioned are the strategies used in order to successfully initiate and
maintain the communication process: Encouraging Feedback: Regular feedbacks were being encouraged so that the
management becomes able to understand the requirements of the team and where they are
lacking in providing effective communication. Being Articulative: Proper articulation was ensured, so that there is no more situations
left where the organisation is facing troubles in applying the communication techniques
properly.
 Being Attentive: The management was attentive towards evaluating and analysing the
importance of communication and in what ways its is happening within the organisation.
This made the successful implementation of communication process and made things
easy (Guchait, Lei, and Tews, 2016).
c. Evaluation and Rationale
1. Group behaviour: In order to understand the group behaviour to build a team
cohesion important strategies were chosen. These strategies were chosen as per
the understandings of the team and its workings. Group behaviour was carefully
analysed by methods such as team cooperation, time management, achievement of
tasks etc. These behaviours were analysed and were later put into work by the
management to ensure there are no pitfalls and drawbacks.
2. Goal achievement: In order to ensure proper achievement of the goals and
objectives the team members were delegated with the tasks as per their set of
skills and knowledge. This ensured that there are none of the discrepancies left
where team members are suffering from work stress and are not able to achieve
desired goals and objectives. Also, they were provided with proper mentoring,
coaching and training after understanding at what places they are lacking
improvements.
3. Resolutions: The resolutions were made after analysing the issues and their
occurrences. To make proper resolutions, the team was provided with meetings,
one to one communication, sharing their views etc. This made the team to
21

understand the importance of each and everyone's views and issues etc. Later the
required solutions were made and things were clearly set on course to be solved
effectively (Gorman, D’Mello and Burke, 2018).

d. Corrective actions taken in order to ensure team goals are being achieved
In order to ensure that team goals are being achieved properly a considerable amount of
actions were taken. The team was made to properly plan and execute their tasks on a daily basis.
This made them achieve proper scheduling and allowed them to be more attentive towards their
achievements. Also, this helped the team to prioritise their tasks and ensure that the important
tasks are being done first.
In the later stages the team was made to communicate effectively. In order to ensure
proper communication, people were made to speak to the each other and the teams leaders. This
ensured that the team members are having strong communication going on and there is a strong
unity between the entire team. Activities such as stage speaking and group discussions were held
in order to achieve and maintain strong communication between the team.
To ensure that the team makes proper decisions, the members of the team were taught
with good decision-making skills. These trainings were provided by the organisations managers
and leaders to ensure that each and every member of the group is having strong decision making
skills. Good decision making allowed the team to make decisions in order to achieve desired
tasks and goals. Also, it helped them to understand and evaluate the environment in which they
are working into and most importantly provided them with enough freedom to ask questions.
Better decision making allowed the team and its members to achieve better cooperation and work
towards their goals properly.
These actions ensured that the team is properly set and engaged in achieving its desired
goals and objectives (Tu, 2018).
