1. These are questions that I have to response back to my
classmates.
1-in my experience I have seen differences when I was in a
group versus in a team. i have noticed that in a group
sometimes when there is an agenda of items that need to be
discussed or issues to be resolved that it takes longer to
accomplish. When on a team I notice that it is more informal
and we get right into what it is that we are there to accomplish.
In a team setting, at my work, we look to gather Subject matter
Experts or SMEs to help tackle issues or complete an initiative.
I think having this type of dynamic in your team helps to get
things done quicker because you have the knowledge needed to
make decisions, create a plan and execute on that plan for
success.
2-One of the groups I am currently working with was put
together to help transition work from one of our facilities to
another. The group consists of approximately 20 people based
on their role in the manufacturing process in the current facility
and the receiving facility. The group is responsible for
knowledge sharing and capturing all aspects of the
manufacturing process that need to be shut down in one place
and started up in the next. This involves, parts, machines, tools,
technology, processes, resources, etc. What helps this group be
successful is the wide variety of skill sets needed to share
information and the work necessary to get the transition
complete on time. What has hindered this group is the fact that
the members on the team in the receiving facility have never
been a part of a transition like this before so this is new
territory for most of us. I am not sure I would change anything

2. about the group. At least not at this point. The team seems to be
working together really well and completing the necessary
actions.
· 3- At work, I am currently assign to a group of costumer
service. This group or department consists of 12 employees,
which all members have a shared knowledge of the group's
objectives, but specific responsibilities are assigned to each of
us. The purpose or objectives of our group is to troubleshoot
technical problems, provide excellent customer support service,
and address solutions to customers. The main factor of our
group success is due to the manager in control of the group who
also coordinate our individuals efforts. I would not change
anything in my group, but I would add weekly meetings to see
the end result of the business.
4- Group is defined as two or more freely interacting
individuals who share norms and goals and have a common
identity. Team is a smaller number of people with
complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose,
such as performance goals and the approach for which they hold
themselves mutually accountable. A group can be as big as you
would like it to be, as a team is made up in smaller numbers,
and it is more structured. In my line of work I work in a team
setting everyday, when in that setting we are all there just to
complete a task, and if someone isn't carrying their weight, we
let them go. The characteristics of a team are leadership,
accountability, purpose, problem solving, and effectiveness,
those of a group are to work as individuals to the best of your
ability and hope everything comes together.
· 5- The five bases of power are used to measure or locate
where power stems from. Each of the five bases uses a different
approach to influence someone, there are advantages and
disadvantage to each bases. The five bases are Legitimate

3. power, Reward power, Coercive power, Expert power, and
Referent power.
Legitimate power is authority and anchored to a persons formal
position. Reward power is the ability obtain compliance by
promising or granting rewards. Coercive power is the ability to
make threats of punishment, and deliver on those threats. Expert
power is the ability to have useful knowledge that know on else
has. Referent power is the ability to use your social
relationships help someone be compliant. Each of these are
needed to have power, each of them can be used as a whole or
separately
· 6- Conflict management is an extremely important quality to
have as a leader. This is because everyone comes with their own
personalities and unfortunately we will eventually run into some
that are going to clash over certain things and even in general.
A manager who knows how to handle conflict among employees
is more than likely going to be running a more successful
business as opposed to one who is afraid to confront said
employees (unfortunately this does happen). In my opinion and
I have experience working in places with management who do
not have a grasp on conflict managing it is just not a good work
environment. This causes productivity to decrease as well as
staff morale and all in all just becomes a miserable place to
work. Although I am a believer in being able to hash your issues
with the specific person sometimes that is just not a feasible
task. You have to know your limits and understand how that
person may push you which is why it may always be a good idea
to have that third party especially when it comes to conflict
between a coworker.
