12. Wrapping Up
Each lesson begins with a slide that looks like this. It provides context by noting the
lesson’s place in the overall course. And it includes an Advance Organizer or list of the
topics to be addressed within the lesson.
3. Module Two:
Understanding Teams
Before you can focus on chemistry,
you must understand teams. Start at
the beginning by defining what
teams are and how people feel about
being on them.
Business is a
team sport.
Greg
Brenneman
The first slide in the lesson provides an opportunity for the Instructor to ease into the
topic, perhaps referring to his/her experiences, relating an interesting story or simply
indicating to the participants the importance of what is to come.
4. What Is the Definition of a
Team?
Team
Functional
Cross-
functional
Self-
managing
Concepts, like that of a “team”, can be taught using a Didactic approach, or as
illustrated here, a Guided Discovery approach that assumes the participants are
experienced and intelligent enough to arrive at a good definition with a little direction
from the Instructor.
5. What is a team?
As a group, let’s discuss your understanding and
experience of teams. What are the pros and
cons of each type of team?
Every activity slide will contain either on the face of the slide or, more often, in the
Speaker Notes certain headings to help the Instructor conduct the exercise.
These headings are:
• Purpose or Objective of the activity
• Inputs (job aids, text, etc.) and Outputs (what the participants are to achieve)
• Groupings (individual, pair, small group, whole class)
• Timing
• Materials Needed
• Step by Step Instructions
• Suggested Debriefing Questions
6. How Do People Feel about Being
on Teams?
Past experience
Forced teams
Poor launch
7. How do you honestly feel about
working on a team?
Let’s talk about how people in the group feel
about being on teams.
What makes a team enjoyable to be part of?
What actions in the beginning set the tone of
the team?
8. Why Do Teams Fall Apart?
Goals Roles
Communication Relationships
9. What makes a team fall apart?
Individually or in pairs, complete
worksheet 01: AVOID MISTAKES.
When done, you may share your
answers with the rest of the
group.
If the course includes a Participant Manual, handouts and job aids are created in such
a way that they can be incorporated into the Manual.
It’s important to design the Manual in such a way that it can and will be used when the
participant returns to the job.
10. Turn ‘n Talk
With your partner, share your answers to the
question or questions assigned to you by your
Instructor.
1. What are the most effective/important ways to
avoid teams falling apart?
2. How is this related to your experience working in
teams?
3. What questions do you need answered in order to
apply these ideas on-the-job?
It’s important to frequently relate new knowledge to the “real world” that the
participants live and work in. Exercises like this one help participants transfer new
information into on-the-job application.
11. Examples of Successful Teams
They have
commitment
They see the big
picture
They are resilient
12. What makes a team successful?
As a group, discuss examples of successful
teams. What are some factors that they share?
13. Understanding Teams
Case Study
They were both sure that the
experience was going to be chaotic
John was not sure what their goals
were
At the first meeting, she was bored
John and Clara were assigned to work
on the R&D team
What happened to make John and
Clara feel the way they do?
Why is it important to start teams on
the right foot?
14. Our Top 3 List
First, let’s brainstorm together as many details
relating to Understanding Teams as we can.
Next, let’s see if we can agree on the 3 top items
from the brainstorm list.
15. Q & Eh!
1. What kind of team works together in a single department?
2. What causes many people to dislike working in teams?
3. Irregular or infrequent meetings create problems in
__________.
4. What is a symptom of relationship problems?
5. What are some ways to build a successful team?
6. What two things are successful teams committed to?
Activity types are deliberately mixed throughout the lesson, varying based on the
number of participants (i.e. individual, pair, small group, whole class) and the type of
interaction (i.e. recall/recognition questions, application problems,
judgment/evaluation exercises). Communication, elaboration and critical thinking are
focused on just as much as the “right” answer.
16. Before we move on…
• Recall at least 3 facts, terms or
ideas from the preceding
lesson.
Summarize
• If you wanted to learn more,
where might you go or who
could you speak to?
Apply
• What questions do you have?
• What’s next?
Transition
16
Each lesson finishes the same way, with a slide that asks the participants to
summarize the lesson and to think of ways of applying what they’ve learned. To help
bring closure, the lesson ends with a deliberate Transition to the next topic, lesson or
course.
Before you can focus on chemistry, you must understand teams.
Start at the beginning by defining what teams are and how people feel about being on them.
Additionally, you need to be aware of how teams can be effective and what causes them to fall apart.
Knowing the pros and cons of teams will help you avoid pitfalls and build a strong chemistry.
Teams are described as groups of people with complementary skill sets who work on projects or activities towards common goals.
Team members are cooperative and interdependent. In the business world, there are different types of teams.
Types of Teams:
Functional – These teams work in a general area or department to support the customer needs.
Cross-functional – Team members come with different areas of expertise to complete a single goal.
Self-managing – These teams do not have much oversight as members work independently towards goals.
Regardless of the type of team a company implements, the individual team members have to work well together.
ASK participants to share any personal, relevant stories.
Many people do not like the idea of being on teams.
This dread of teamwork often stems from past experiences.
Everyone has been on a team with that one person who did not contribute.
Additionally, some managers force teams on people believing that they will magically work better without taking the necessary steps to ensure that the team members will work well together and develop chemistry.
Teams that are not launched correctly have little chance of being successful.
It is important to get teams off to a positive start from the very beginning by developing relationships, inspiring goals, and defining roles.
ASK participants to share any personal, relevant stories.
Declaring a group to be a team does not automatically make it functional.
All too often, teams fall apart.
There are some common causes of team downfalls which include:
Goals
Team has no input
Not clearly communicated
Easy to misunderstand
Roles
Undefined
People are not sure of responsibilities
Communication
Meetings are irregular
The communication only comes from leadership
Members do not communicate
Relationships
Competition is out of control
Cliques develop
Conflict
Knowing the common reasons why teams fall apart will help you avoid making the same mistakes in your team.
This can be done individually or in pairs. Expect perhaps 3-5 mistakes to be listed before calling time and sharing with the whole class.
ASK participants to share any personal, relevant stories.
There numerous examples of effective teams.
From successful sports teams to business groups, teams are praised in the media and the workplace.
The best way to develop a successful team is to learn from the example of others.
While each team is unique, they share some common characteristics.
They have commitment – Every member of a team is committed to achieving the goal and believe in the cause.
They see the big picture – The team members are focused on the big ideas and avoid staying in minor conflicts.
They are resilient – They face adversity and find the strength to overcome the obstacles in their way.
When creating a team, it is important to build them with these ideals in mind.
ASK participants to share any personal, relevant stories.
READ details of case study to participants or create a page with the details shown below and HAND OUT to small groups.
John and Clara were assigned to work on the same R&D team.
Clara was not thrilled about working closely with other people.
At the first meeting, she was bored.
There was a short icebreaker and then a presentation about the purpose of the project.
John was more comfortable working in teams than Clara, but the first meeting left him confused.
He was not sure what their goals were or what role he would play in achieving these goals.
He and Clara had lunch after the meeting, and they discussed how disenchanted they were with the team.
They were both sure that the experience was going to be chaotic and miserable.
