Eight Ways to Build Effective Teams

Match each name with their scenario to one of the methods for building effective teams that fits best with the example

Graham - For his first team meeting, Graham bakes and decorates a beautiful batch of Holidays cookies for his teammates. His boss pulls him aside before the meeting starts and tell him that he should think about how this will be perceived; others might think he has too much time on his hands and doesn’t spend enough time on his work.

Dominique - Dominique focuses on rewarding her entire team’s performance rather than individual team members’ performance.

Carter - Carter meets individually with each of his team members every quarter to review their performance and progress toward their objectives.

Leia - As a team manager, Leia makes a point to avoid speaking unkindly of team members to other team members, and she always sticks up for team members who are treated unfairly.

Javier - Javier hires team members that represent the wide array of diversity in his company’s customer base.

Ki - Ki is careful not to put certain personalities on the same team. For example. Lauryl and Hamad are both extremely solutions-focused and have little tolerance for pleasantries, chit-chat, or other activities that help group members bond. KI usually does not assign them to the same project teams.

Oscar - Oscar Gives team members the freedom to make important decisions on matters such as team deadlines and resource allocation.

Selena - Selena hold say 15-minute informal chat session at the end of each team meeting where all team members are expected to express the things that are bothering them, issues they I'm having with team members, and so on.

Strategic Management: A Taiwanese story about strategy and structure Before 2000 the Taiwan-based company Acer had competing strategies. For 15 years one part of the firm had been building computers for other PC sellers who would put their own labels on the machines, while another part sold very similar computers under the company’s own brand. The latter strategy was predicated on direct sales to consumers, which had brought the firm into direct competition with companies such as Dell. However, in 2000 the firm decided to adopt a new business strategy in order to increase its global market share. Acer’s manufacturing division was made an independent company (Wistron) and this enabled a smaller and more nimble sales firm to emerge. The strategy based on direct sales was discarded and replaced with a strategy focused on selling as many low-cost laptops and netbooks as possible to consumers but via a network of partners and retailers. A new logo was adopted to reflect this new strategic direction, which had proved very successful despite the industry downturn. By 2008, Acer had replaced Hewlett-Packard as the market leader in Europe, the Middle-East, and Africa, partly as a result of Acer’s success in the booming netbook market. This strategy enabled the firm to become the world’s second largest PC vendor. However, in 2011 tensions at board level over the firm’s strategic direction culminated in the resignation of Acer’s CEO Gianfranco Lanci. The difference in opinion appears to be about whether the firm’s future lay in PC’s or mobile devices. Acting CEO J.T Wang announced that the PC would continue to be the firm’s core business. In 2009 the firm entered the smartphone market with the launch of four different smartphones and the promise of more in the pipeline. Unlike Apple, which was focused on developing one phone only, Acer’s strategy is based on targeting each of its phones at a different market segment. In march MODULE FUNDAMENTALS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT TOTAL MARKS 60 MARKS 2011, Acer announced that revenue projections for the first quarter in 2011 will fall short of expectations by about 10% due to weaker demand in the PC market in the US and Europe.
