Additionally, it highlights the importance of establishing a sense of urgency, spending time together to build team dynamics, and providing feedback and rewards to shape productive behaviors.
The way human brain works can sabotage the choices we make. But bad decisions can often be traced back to the point where the decisions were made. The key is how a problem is framed and how to develop the solution.

Before deciding on a course of action, prudent managers evaluate the situation confronting them. Unfortunately, some managers are cautious to a fault – taking costly steps to defend against unlikely outcomes. Others are overconfident – underestimating the range of potential outcomes. And still, others are highly impressionable – allowing memorable events in the past to dictate their view of what might be possible now.
These are just three of the well-documented psychological traps that afflict most managers at some point, assert authors John S. Hammond, Ralph L. Keeney, and Howard Raiffa in their 1998 article. Still, more pitfalls distort reasoning ability or cater to our own biases. Examples of the latter include the tendencies to stick with the status quo, to look for evidence confirming one’s preferences, and to throw good money after bad because it’s hard to admit making a mistake.
Luckily, techniques exist to overcome each one of these problems. For instance, since the way a problem is posed can influence how you think about it, try to reframe the question in various ways and ask yourself how your thinking might change for each version. Even if we can’t eradicate the distortions ingrained in the way our minds work, we can build tests like this into our decision-making processes to improve the quality of the choices we make.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. The article says:
If a manager wants to make better decisions about teams, they must know
what a team is.
TEAM :-
A small no. of people with complementary skills who are committed to a
common purpose, set of performance goals, and approach for which they hold
themselves mutually accountable
3. Common Commitment and Purpose.
Performance Goals
Complementary Skills
Mutual Accountability
5. GROUP TEAM
Strong , clearly focused leader Shared leadership roles
Individual accountability Individual and mutual accountability
Individual work products Collective work products
Discusses , decides and delegates Discusses , decides and does real
work together
Runs efficient meetings Encourages open-ended discussions
and active problem-solving
techniques
Group’s purpose is same as the
broader organizational mission
Specific team purpose that the team
itself delivers
6. A set of VALUES : that encourage listening and responding constructively
to views expressed by others.
Providing Support & recognizing the interest and achievements of others
These values help teams perform, promote individual performance & that
of the entire organization.
The essence of a TEAM is Common Commitment: without it , groups
perform as individuals and with it, they perform as powerful unit of
collective performance.
Teams fall apart if a common goal is missing, but on the contrary when
goals are combined with team commitment, they become a powerful
engine of performance
7. Reasons For Transforming Broad Directives Into Specific
And Measurable Performance Goals
Defining a distinct work product- Specific team-performance goals
help define a set of work products that are different both from an
organization-wide mission and from individual job objectives.
Facilitating clear and productive discussions- The specificity of
performance objectives facilitates clear communication and
constructive conflict within the team. When goals are clear, the
discussions can focus on how to pursue or change these goals.
Helping the team to assess its performance- The attainability of
specific goals helps teams maintain their focus on getting results. With
the measure of attainability of the goals or objectives ,the team knows
exactly where it stands.
8. Reasons Continued…
Have a leveling effect conducive to team behavior- Outward bound
and other team-building programs illustrate that specific objectives have
a leveling effect which is conducive to team behavior.
Allows a team to achieve small wins- Specific goals allow a team to
achieve small wins as it pursues its broader purpose. These wins are
invaluable to building commitment and overcoming the obstacles that
get in way of long-term purpose.
Performance goals are compelling- They are symbols of
accomplishment that motivate and energize. They challenge the people
to commit themselves, as a team, to make a difference.
9. Approaches For Building Team Performance
Establish Urgency, demanding performance standards, and
direction- The more urgent and meaningful the rationale, the more
likely it is that the team will live up to its performance potential. Teams
work best in compelling context.
Select members for skill and skill potential, not personality- No
team succeeds without all the skills needed to meet its purpose and
performance goals. So, a manager must choose people for their existing
skills and potential to improve them and learn new ones.
10. Pay particular attention to first meetings and actions. Initial impression
always makes a great deal- When potential teams first gather, they monitor
the signals given by others and pay particular attention to those in authority.
Set some clear rules of behavior- Most critical initial rules pertain to
attendance, discussions, confidentiality, analytic approach, end-product
orientation, constructive confrontation and contributions.
Spend lots of time together- In order to be successful as a team, the
members must give themselves the time to learn to be a team.
11. Set and seize upon a few immediate performance-oriented tasks and
goals- Effective teams trace their advancement to key performance-oriented
events. These events can be set in motion by establishing a few goals that can
be achieved early on.
Challenge the group regularly with fresh facts and information- New
information causes a team to redefine its understanding of performance
challenge, thereby helping the team share a common purpose, set clearer
goals and improve its common approach.
Exploit the power of positive feedback, recognition, and reward- Positive
reinforcement works well in team context. Giving rewards or feedbacks helps
shape new behaviors critical to team performance.
12. “The combination of purpose and specific
goals is essential to performance. Each
depends on the other to remain relevant
and vital”
13. • No fixed criteria
• Small size more of a pragmatic guide than an absolute necessity for success.
Issues:

CFTs
Skill Requirement:
Technical or functional expertise- Appropriate and diverse.
Problem solving and decision making skills- problem and opportunity
identification, evaluate options and move forward.
Interpersonal skills- Risk taking, helpful criticism, objectivity,
active listening, recognizing the interests and achievements of others.
15. It’s common to overemphasize the skills in team selection
The authors of the case study didn’t encounter any successful teams that
had all the needed skills required for the task at the beginning.
It was discovered that teams are powerful vehicles for developing the
skills needed to meet the team’s performance challenge.
16. Element of Commitment (to a common goal)
Element of Emotional logic
Establishment of Social Contract
Group Teams
Accountability

cooperation .
21. Issues
