FEATURES OF ACTUAL BUSINESS TEAMS
There are many different characteristics of the effective business team. The business must have
to take several steps to achieve a business goal. The first step which the businesses have to take
is that they have to set a common goal. If the business has a common vision then the business
will affect positively (Chuang et al., 2016). All the member of the business organization has to
do their work with some particular objective which was shared by the manager of the company.
The next one is open communication which is very needed in any type of business organization.
If in the organization level of communication is good then the business will get more benefits
(Chuang et al., 2016). Good communication will help the organization to exchange their views
and ideas to make their business more successful.
The next one is team role which is a very important part of the business for making some
success. The team can divide into three different roles that are leaders, strategists, and workers.
All three roles are very effective in any team (Chuang et al., 2016). Most of the staff in the
organization has a narrow focus on the latest important task to improve with the help of path and
finding the way obstacles along the way. On the other hand, time management is one of the main
roles to finish work on time (Coibion, and Gorodnichenko, 2015). All the company have to make
their time management plan so that they will finish their work on time and get more and more
profit. Practical problem solving is another way which was discussed for making business more
effective. Most of the effective teams try to identify al, the problems and try to solve it with some
practical knowledge (Coibion, and Gorodnichenko, 2015). With the help of all these
characteristics, the business team will build more effectively in an organization.

models through which business team made very effectively.
BRUCE TUCKMAN’S MODEL OF TEAM STAGES
In 1965 the Bruce Tuckman theory was formed. On the other hand, this has been applied in

help of these entire four main stages name as forming, storming, norming, and performing will
refer to the beginning for the beneficial team building (Ghaye, 2010).

manner. These roles are Plant, Resource investigator, Coordinator, Shaper, Monitor Evaluator,
Team Worker, Implementer, Completer-Finisher, and Specialist (Ghaye, 2010). The main role of

Effective teams help the organization to achieve its target. Those teams are not working make
some of the unnecessary disruption and strategic failure. Based on the analyses this was found
that almost all the organization avoid being a member of the team (Holling, 2017). So this is the
most important thing that an organization will develop teamwork. With the help of using many
different types of techniques will help to make the organization more effectively. The managers
of the company have to define the entire team role in the organization (Holling, 2017). They
have to give proper roles and responsibility to their employee so that they will do their work in a
well and proper manner.
When some responsibility was distributed in the organization the profit margin of the company
will increase. Most of the employee tries to improve coordination in the organization which is
very beneficial to the company (Jin et al., 2017). The manager of the company will also give the
proper training and developing a program in the organization regularly. Through this, they will
achieve their goal on time. The main role of the Belbin team role model is to make use of the

the company always tries to give proper instruction to their team member so that they will do
their work with full of efficiency and full of dedication (McKinley et al., 2017). Most of the
organization use a different method which will affect positively and sometime it will affect

whether you are a new team member or experience manager (McKinley et al., 2017). Most of the
people need proper training regularly and some support throughout their careers.
In a small or medium-sized organization, the roles of recruiter, trainer and team leader are most
important. The manager is on the top of the position know how they will improve the
performance of the employee with the help of providing them with a training session regularly
(McKinley et al., 2017).
There are various types of areas through which and organization will improve the team
development that supports team members to achieve given objectives. They are:
IDENTIFYING TRAINING NEED
The first step is that the manager must be identifying the need of their team member. The
manager of the company will give the proper training to their employee regularly so that they are
up to date with the new technology in the market (McKinley et al., 2017).
CONFIRM THAT EVERY PERSON ACTUALLY RECOGNIZES THEIR ROLE AND
RESPONSIBILITY
The managers of the company have to ensure that every person truly understands their role in the
organization (McKinley et al., 2017). Different person has a different role through which the
7

organization will achieve there objective. Most of the employee known their role which is basic
but they don't have any deep understanding of knowledge.
TAKE STEP BACK AND TRY THAT THEY WILL DO THEIR WORK OWN
Most of the manager of the company trust there team member that they will finish their work on
time. So they will take a step back and try to let them do their job (Mone, and London, 2018).

MEASURE SOME TECHNIQUES THAT ARE USED TO MOTIVATE INDIVIDUAL AND
TEAMS TO ACHIEVE GIVEN AIMS.
In most of the organization, the teamwork is very important to finish the work. There are many
different ways through which the employee of the organization was motivated and they will try
to give their best so that the organization will gain more profit (Mone, and London, 2018).
 PAY YOUR PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE WORTH
The managers of the company have to set a constant salary of the employee. After analyses, this
was found that most of the employees are leaving their job because only 5% of their salary was
increasing (Mone, and London, 2018). So they are trying that employee salary must be consent
so that they will not leave.
 DELIVER THEM WITH A ENJOYABLE PLACE TO WORK
In most of the organization, the employee wants a pleasant working atmosphere so the manager
of the company tries to make a pleasant environment in there organization. When the atmosphere
of the organization was good then most of the employees were motivated (Noe et al., 2017).
 OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF-DEVELOPMENT
For an organization, the team member is most important. The organizations try to provide proper
training regularly so that employee will give their best with full of motivation. Through proper
training, the employee will become more knowledge related to the up-to-date technologies and
industry news (Noe et al., 2017).
 FOSTER COLLABORATION WITHIN THE TEAM

organization by the manager of the company so they try to motivate their inputs so that they will
give their best (Noe et al., 2017).
 DON'T PUNISH FAILURE
In most of the organization make some mistakes so the managers of the company try to improve

INSPECT HOW PRESENTATION FEEDBACK CAN BE USED TO GROW TEAMS
For team success, regular feedback is most important. With the help of taking feedback on a
regular basis, the organization will improve its performance (Phillips, 2016). They will try to
satisfy the need and wants of the customer by taking feedback regularly. The organization faces
internal and external challenges.
360-degree feedback is a process through which the organization will get unidentified feedback
from there employee who are working around them (Phillips, 2016). Manager peers and direct
reports are included in this. In the feedback form, the various question was asked to their
employee so analyze the rating scale and ask rater that they will give them a written comment.
There are many benefits of the 360-degree feedback in an organization (Phillips, 2016). Through
this, the team will develop and make maximize the profit.
With the help of 360-degree feedback the communication level, foster employee development
and productivity and efficiency of the team will increase rapidly (Phillips, 2016). A team who
are using the 360-degree feedback will increase the level and the quality of the communication in
their team and leading to increasing team performance. On the other hand, this will also increase
the self-awareness within a team member (Smither et al., 2016). Self-awareness will also help to
increase communication and clearness among team members.
This will also help to understand the goal and objective of the company. This will mainly focus
on the behaviour that will help to line up to team values and objectives. The organizations have
to face many challenges while doing 360-degree feedback (Smither et al., 2016). They try to ask
the exact question who are more relevant. 360-degree feedback is a process through which the
organization will get unidentified feedback from there employee who are working around them
(Smither et al., 2016). Manager peers and direct reports are included in this. In the feedback
form, the various question was asked to their employee so analyze the rating scale and ask rater
that they will give them a written comment (Smither et al., 2016).

of the continuous processes of understanding and developing the performance of employee
communication gains the aim and objective (Tulung, and Ramdani, 2016). Monitoring is the
most important part of the remedy and this must be a large size of the project. With the help of
monitoring the organization will easily identify whether they will minimize the risk to the human
and ecologic receptors while doing the work or not (Tulung, and Ramdani, 2016).
FIGURE 1 CRITERIA TO MONITOR THE EFFECTIVENESS
[Source: Tulung, and Ramdani, 2016]
The most important thing which the organizations have to do while determining criteria to
monitor the effectiveness is firstly they have to listen there customer with the help of monitoring
interactions (Tulung, and Ramdani, 2016). The entire feedback channel was capture by the
manager of the company. The organization will also analyze what they are thinking about. For
improving the skills of the agent try to use the monitoring in an organization (Woodcock, 2017).

there absences.
