The document discusses self-managed teams, providing definitions, origins, comparisons to conventional teams, benefits, and challenges of implementation. Specifically, it defines self-managed teams as teams that are self-regulating with few external controls and determine their own schedules and procedures. The origins of self-managed teams date back to the 1940s-1950s when researchers found coal mining teams in the UK with higher productivity and lower absenteeism worked more autonomously. Benefits of self-managed teams include increased commitment, quality, and innovation while challenges include resistance from managers accustomed to traditional structures.

Team Building Skills Training can be a powerful tool in developing strengths, addressing weaknesses and creating a work environment where people work as a team taking full ownership of their roles.
This is a one day program for organizing, leading and facilitating effective teams. Participants will take part in a range of discussions, activities and exercises to learn the key elements needed for an effective and efficient team.
Very often we use the word team work in our organizational context without perhaps fully understanding what we mean by teamwork.
An effective team requires the participation of every member in order to be successful. When one person cannot accomplish a job alone and several individuals must cooperate to fulfill a mission, you need a team. The better the cooperation, communication and coordination among members, the more efficient the team.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

3. Overview
Define self-managed teams
Origins of self-managed teams
Comparison between conventional and self
managed teams
Benefits of self-managed teams to an organization
Challenges of implementing self-managed teams
4. Self-Managed Teams Defined
Self-management teams work toward goals that are
defined by a staff person outside the team. A self-directed
team defines its own goals. While the self-management
team is independent, the team members are
interdependent. The team is self-regulating, operating
with few external controls. Team members determine
schedules, procedures and the need to make
adjustments. Self-management teams are used in
different work environments, including manufacturing,
service industries, professional services and virtual
environments. Effective self-management team models
are appropriate for the type of work performed, the
workplace environment and the structure of the business.
5. Self-Management Teams
Origins
The origins of self-managing teams‟ concept lie in the late
1940‟s and early 1950‟s. In an effort to find organizational
forms that would help increase productivity in post-war
Britain, researchers at the Tavistock Institute, discovered
coalmines in Durham in which miners worked in highly
autonomous groups. The productivity of these teams was
higher, while absenteeism rates proved to be lower than
in the more traditionally organized mines, where work
was organized around individual tasks and possibilities of
self-management were only very limited the results of the
study gave to a new concept called self-managing work
teams.
6. Comparisons
Comparison between conventional teams and self-managing work teams
Traditional/conventional teams Self managing work teams
Task domain Production tasks only Whole process, intact
Innovation/ Focus on goal achievement Focus on continuous
improvement improvements
Control Supervisor directly controls daily Team controls daily activities
activities through group decisions
Management/ Management role: direct control Manager: coach/facilitator
leadership Leadership: top down Leadership shared with team
Job design Many narrow jobs, performed by Process is subdivided into team
Individuals tasks, team fulfills „whole task‟
7. Benefits
Create a stronger sense of commitment to the work effort
among members
Improve quality, speed, and innovation.
Have more satisfied employees and lower turnover and
absenteeism
Facilitate faster new product development
Allow cross trained team members greater flexibility in
dealing with personnel shortages due to illness or
turnover
Keep operational cost down because of reduction in
managerial ranks and increased efficiencies.
8. Challenges Implementing
Managers who are accustomed to traditional and
autocratic management may resist or undermine
team approach.
Unfamiliar with new structure and routine.
Adjusting to team responsibilities.
Personality and behavior conflicts.
9. Conclusion
In conclusion self-managed work teams can help a
company improve its bottom line, foster team work,
and boost employee morale. However, the difficult
part is changing attitudes, behaviors, and resolving
conflicts.
