2. Introduction to team approach
Making our organization a multi-national agency is a goal
which requires teamwork, therefore, to achieve this ultimate
goal, my suggestion is that we make use of team approach.
The many merits that backs up team approach as will be
illustrated in the next slides explains why I preferred it.
It must be noted that making an organization a multi-national
organization requires collaboration from individuals from
within and without the organization. Therefore, working with a
team approach will easily help in bringing the various efforts
together with an aim of achieving the intended goal (Qureshi, &
Abass, 2017).
*
Merits of team approach
Time saving; team approach can be compared to introduction of
machines in the technological industry as a combined minds
will tend to make work easier.
It saves on the outlay of labor; with a combined effort, there
will be that natural induced morale of work from the employees.
This will specifically save labor cost
Since individuals will not be working on given action plans
separately hence differentiation, the time used to complete a
given action will be reduced hence saving the time which the
organization will use to meet the multi-national goal.
When the jobs that could be done by individuals are allocated to
3. a given group that still has the capability of handling other
action plans, this leads to a general decrease of the net labor
required per action hence allowing the organization to pool
funds for meeting their goals.
*
Merits of team approach
It improves employees’ cohesion; for achievement of any
important goal like changing an organization into a multi-
national agency, employees’ cohesion is essential
Employees loyalty is improved; the loyalties of employees to
the company is specifically improved through equal distribution
of work.
When employees work on a given action plan together, they may
grow close and feel free to work hence creating an environment
in which employees are free to provide their ideas hence
allowing room for new ideas.
When employees belong to a given team, it gives them a sense
of belonging and this may improve loyalty which helps the
whole organization work committedly towards a given goal.
*
Organizational level action plans
There are three main organizational level action plans which
needs to be undertaken alongside this intended long term-goal
of the organization.
4. Creating several effective groups
Allocating every group member a specific task
Choosing some group members to be the leaders of the several
groups chosen.
For the purpose of ensuring that this goal is achieved, the
organization is mandated in ensuring the only effective groups
are created. This will further ensure that the tasks that will be
allocated to these groups are effectively achieved. To make it
more efficient to the ground level, some members should be
chosen to be the leaders of every specific group. This is
particularly referred to us function devolution for easy
management (DelConte, & Gast, 2019).
*
Leader level action plans
As far as this long-term goal is a concern. At the leader level
for instance goal implementation leaders will be mandated with
the following action plans
Helping in the organization of the several group within the
organization
Training the employees on team building
Motivating the employees properly.
This are the actions that the leaders have been really good at
and are their strengths and is consistent among all the leaders.
*
Supervisor level action plans
On the capacity of supervisor level, the mandated action plan
5. includes
Improvement of the leader-employee relation.
Equipping the staff with the necessary equipment for the
purpose of increasing the level of work done.
Adjustment of man-hours to give room for group work to be
done.
This are the points which the leaders should make a point to
improve in order to help achieve the goal of the organization.
*
Probable cons to team approach
Among the disadvantages associated with team approach
includes;
Possible reduced organizational consistency
Independent team functioning
Miscommunication, stress as well as absenteeism.
Although not much problems are associated with team approach,
the few which are present like possible organization reduced
consistency will only result it the organizational management
fails to support the team approach initiative.
*
Remedy to Probable cons to team approach
Employees should be assigned to the teams where they are
compatible.
Encouragement of being a brother’s keeper in the team to avoid
stress as well as absenteeism.
6. Encouraging a harmonized working environment for employees
to ensure employees well-being.
It must be noted that not all employees are compatible with
team approach, therefore to ensure that all the employees fit to
the goal achievement initiative, every employee should be
assigned to where he or she can fit. Ensuring the well-being of
employees is attained is also one of the ways through which
some of these cons can be curbed (Collins, 2018).
*
Recommendations
For the above proposed goal to be achieved, the organization’s
fixed or rigid policies like procurement policies should be made
flexible or be changed to accommodate the newly form of doing
things.
Secondly, I would also recommend that employees should be
given some basic leadership trainings for the purpose of
improving the efficiency of the stated plans in the above
presentation slides.
This includes the policies such as those of communication to
allow junior staff to be able to table their ideas to their seniors
without fears of victimization (Mehta, A., & Mehta, N. 2018).
This programs will help in instilling in the employees team
building skills to enable them work with each other without
conflict for maximum yield.
*
Conclusion
7. In conclusion, I would like to call upon the organizational
executive, the shareholders, the stakeholders as well as the well
wishers to solidly offer their support to this approach for the
purpose of ensuring that this enigma goal of the organization is
achieved (Kelly-Pitou, et al. 2017). Both financial, advice as
well as encouragement supports are welcome.
Thank you in advance.
I would like to finally by calling upon you as the executives of
this organization to consider this idea as it a sure way of
achieving our globalization goal in the shortest time possible. I
would therefore like to call upon your support in lobbying for
this idea in order for us to get the appropriate support as
required for it to work.
