Working in Teams

Working in Teams: ASSIGNMENTRead the chapters from the PP as assigned. Read the article, From Causes to Conditions in Group Research (Hackman, 2012). Read the article, The New Science of Building Great Teams (Pentland, 2012).

PART 1:

After completing your readings for Week 4, compare and contrast the three sources.

PART 2:

Assume you are an employee that is a member of a team. Based on your readings, what will you need to do as a team member to assist in making this team a “high-performing” one?

PART 3:

Assume you are a manager over numerous teams in a large organization. Again, based on your readings,

  • What will you need to do to assist in making each team a “high-performing” one?
  • What management techniques/skills might be used for the different types of teams in one organization to make them all “high-performing?”

LOGISTICS:

  • Include a running head in your APA document that includes your name
  • Use headings to guide your reader (and grader) through your sections and thought processes
  • Include a References page
    • Cite and reference in APA format from any sources that you use. Remember:
      • I do not accept any “Google-type” search results, such as “.com” web pages.
      • If you include a reference in your references page, it must be cited somewhere in the document
      • If you cite in your paper, which you should do, make sure you include it in your references list
      • If you copy text from a source (even if you change a word here or there), insure that you format it as a quote in APA format.
  • Page length (double-spaced): more than 2

Minimum current references: 2 in addition to these three resources.
