AccountabilityOne of the strategies used by organizations to ensure operations
effectiveness is throughdelegating duties. When a duty is delegated to you, you are in charge
of an event or task,commonly referred to as responsibility. After being allocated a task, one
is expected to conducttheir respective duties in line with the established ethics and
governance. You are answerableand expected to give an account of all the elements with
respect to the allocated task. One is alsoexpected to report to their seniors about every
action. One can also have authority over otherpeople, especially when one is a team
leader.Modular and Virtual organizationsVirtual organization structure involves
independent entities such as organizations orinstitutions linked together by
telecommunication and computing technologies to shareknowledge and skills (Williams,
2016).. The main advantage of the structure is that itsignificantly reduces operations costs.
However, the structure is vulnerable to a range of securityand compliance issues. Since data
is shared through internet, there is a risk of data breachthrough hacking, spamming among
other cybercrime activities. Modular organization structuredivides businesses into small
and tightly knit strategic business units (Williams, 2016). The unitsfocus on certain
elements within the organization. The structure enhances full strategic controlover the
most important activities. However, there is high risk of eroding cross-functionalactivities
and skills.Part 2Team Development StagesMANAGEMENT3The process of developing a
team is essential in creating a high-function team. The firststage is forming. The stage
involves orientation. The team members introduce themselves toeach other, familiarize
themselves, and start forming responsibilities and roles. In addition tothese, the team may
also discuss the ground rules, project goals, individual responsibilities, atimeline, among
other factors.The second stage is the storming stage. The stage is characterized by conflict
andcompetition attributed to individual personalities. These may also affect team
performance sincetime and energy are mostly diverted into fruitless actions. Team
members fail to agree on theestablished goals and clique on personalities. However, to
realize success, team members need toaccept their differences, overcome obstacles, and
work on team goals.The third stage is the norming stage. At this stage, people appreciate
and acceptdifferences in their team members. The team starts to work cohesively, and
consensus developswith regards to leaders and individual roles. Additionally, the team puts
2. more focus on realizingteam goals. As a result, team performance increases.The fourth stage
is the performing stage. At this stage, cohesion and consensus are well isestablished. The
team is mature, organized, and functions well. The team members arecommitted to realize
the established goals. Additionally, there is a stable and certain structure.The team is also
able to handle any conflict or differences that may emerge.The final stage is the adjourning
stage. At this stage, most of the aims have beenachieved. More focus is put on the final
touches. Additionally, it involves documenting theefforts made, and the results realized.
Since the workload is reduced, some team members maybe reassigned, or the team may be
disbanded. There is need for a ceremony acknowledgment ofthe efforts made and the
success realized.MANAGEMENT4Role of Cohesiveness in Team PerformanceCohesion can
be described as the extent to which people are unified as they pursue acommon goal. To
realize the expected result, team members need to bond with one another. Acohesive team
focuses do not focus on personal differences but focus on the process and thegoal.
Additionally, there is respect among team members, accountability, commitment,
andadherence to the developed strategies and decisions. Cohesiveness boosts team
members’ moraleand confidence since there is increased communication, a friendly
environment, input in thedecision-making process, and a welcoming team environment.
Successful organizationalstrategies are enforced by an effective team characterized by a
high level of cohesiveness.Types of Conflicts Within Team and Its AdvantageSince a team is
made up of people with different personalities, there is a high likely hoodthat there will
arise conflict. Conflict can be defined as an aggressive relation that occurs whenone blocks
another person’s decision or action. There exist five types of team conflicts,emotional
conflicts, and substantive conflicts. Some of the things that cause emotional conflictsinclude
insecurity, jealousy, and annoyance, among others. Two parties always have
contrastingviewpoints hence cannot control their personal animosity. An example is when
one needs peaceto concentrate, and a colleague says that playing music stimulates
creativity. Substantiveconflicts are caused by things such as tasks, resource allocation, and
goals, among others. Forexample, a software engineer opts to use a specific software
program because of its user interfacefeatures. The manager may opt to use a different
program since it provides comprehensivereports. As a result, conflict may arise between the
manager and the software engineer.Conflict is not always negative and can be beneficial at
times. New ideas cannot emergewithout disagreement. Conflict within a team helps avoid
groupthink and makes the team makeMANAGEMENT5rati…
