I Introduction

In this assignment, groups will have the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to work with others based on their group understanding and group dynamics In groups of different formats, individuals are required to participate in some class activity to test group theory and group work (e.g Belbin, Tuckman and hard or soft skills) and be effective of them to achieve the goals and objectives set Reflection report identifies challenges and obstacles encountered in activities and it is contextualized into strategies for achieving common goals / objectives During this process, individuals are also asked to analyze the various factors and skills that support or

prevent effective teamwork does research and implementation, demonstrating an understanding of how to effectively collaborate with others and applying organizational concepts and philosophies to a given business situation

II Demonstrate an understanding of how to cooperate effectively with others

Effective communities promote the discussion of differences and the use of healthy conflicts prior to forming a consensus in order to spur innovation and change of ideas When discussing internal problems, one of the most often debated topics is conflict avoidance The second most frequently mentioned subject is conflict resolution

as soon as possible This is unfortunate because constructive job names are the bedrock of stable and prosperous organizations Conflict is important for successful problem-solving and interpersonal relationships Job dispute that is well-managed, on the other hand, has many benefits for the company According to Peter Block, in the book "Empowered managers: Positive political skills in Work", if you don't want to participate Participating in political and organizational conflict, you will never accomplish the things that are important to you in your job or job duties.+ The group leader does not dominate or refer to him or herself unnecessarily by the group

• The faction has a habit of avoiding mentioning its own upkeep

III Apply concepts and philosophies of organizational behavior to a given business situation

Organizational behavior is the academic study of how people interact in groups, and its principles are primarily applied in an effort to make the business more efficient (CAROL M KOPP, 2021)

Organizational behavioral studies include areas of study dedicated to improving job performance, increasing job satisfaction, promoting innovation, and encouraging leadership Each party has its own proposed actions, such

as reorganizing groups, modifying compensation structures or changing performance assessment methods The study of organizational behavior dates back to the late 1920s, when Western Electric Company launched a series of current well-known studies on employee behavior at the Hawthorne Works factory in Cicero, Illinois 1 Researchers there set out to determine whether workers could be more productive if their environments were upgraded with better lighting and other design improvements To their surprise, the researchers found that the environment was less important than social factors For example, it is more important that people get along with colleagues and feel that their boss values them

1 The Monitor Evaluator

Monitor Evaluators make choices based on reality and logic rather than impulses and intuition They are usually serious people who are good at rational thinking and strategic planning If a project faces a problem, Monitor Evaluators will closely consider all angles and options before devising an informative approach These people are usually loners and choose not to get entangled in the lives of their colleagues, which adds to their objectivity Monitor Evaluators perform well when faced with problems that necessitate specialized analytical skills and fast problem-solving Because of their ability to consistently make effective decisions, these individuals often hold managerial positions.(belbin, 2021)

2 The Specialist

A Specialist is a member of the staff who is an expert in a particular area They will typically only participate when a job involves their area of experience so they have in-depth information of a particular topic Specialists, like Monitor Evaluators, are loners, but working as part of a squad does not always come easily to them Specialists are priceless commodities and they have expert technological expertise that few others can Senior management will regularly formulate plans and initiatives based on the skills of these specialists While

Specialists find the thought of working in a team daunting, when it comes to their area of expertise, they become very engaging and supportive and would certainly have no trouble sharing their experience with junior members who wish to understand.(belbin, 2021)

3 The Plant

Plants are free-thinking, imaginative entities who create original thoughts and propose novel ways of doing things Plants, like the other two thought-oriented roles, tend to function alone Most departments and businesses, however, embrace this because the Plant's imaginative thinking often contributes to new ideas and novel concepts Plants do not suit the conventional definition of how a team member can behave, but they are nevertheless invaluable to a team or organization Plants, as the name indicates, are team members who contribute to development and success.(belbin, 2021)

4 The Shaper

Shapers are extroverts who want to drive themselves and others to get things done They are charismatic and motivated people who can empower and encourage team members to be passionate Shapers maintain a good attitude in the face of adversity and seem to excel under pressure They love defying conventions in order to develop new ambitions and tactics One Shaper is normally needed to help the team succeed in its task Shapers advance rapidly in organisations and they are natural leaders who achieve results They make outstanding management candidates because they behave decisively in challenges and accelerate change (belbin, 2021)

5 The Implementer

Implementers are organizers who enjoy structuring and maintaining order in their workplaces Implementers tend to build realistic proposals from abstract concepts because they are rational people Implementers are selfdisciplined and self-controlled people who may lay aside their own desires in order to concentrate on the needs of a team or group Although implementers typically favor tried-and-true methods, you will convince them to adapt if you can demonstrate that it can produce positive results Implementers are typically the backbones of companies and they put in place workable plans to ensure that the team performs projects efficiently and effectively (belbin, 2021)

6 The Completer/Finisher

Completers, also known as Finishers, are introverted people who conduct quality testing at critical stages of a project They are frequently perfectionists and can observe fine details, allowing them to scrutinize completed

projects or items for mistakes Since these people aspire for perfection, they demand the same from those around them These individuals are required by organizations to ensure that teams deliver high-quality work Completers are particularly helpful in jobs that involve accuracy and strict attention to deadlines.(belbin, 2021)

7 The Coordinator

Coordinators are mature adults with good interpersonal and listening capacity They are usually in positions of authority, but their managerial styles vary greatly from those of Shapers Whereas Shapers use instructions to govern, Coordinators favor a more democratic approach that requires transparent communication Instead of concentrating on the fulfillment of the organization's goals, Coordinators strive to focus on assisting staff members in achieving their particular goals They are usually excellent at finding and using creativity in a team

to accomplish the group's goals Coordinators are usually cool and trustworthy people who are good at delegating tasks.(belbin, 2021)

8 The Team Worker

Team Workers are usually extroverts with relaxed and polite demeanors They are excellent listeners and are skilled at bringing a team to work well together as a unit If Team Workers note that other team members are unable to keep up with their workload, they are more likely to step in to help These people are extremely adaptable and resilient, allowing them to communicate easily with a wide range of people and deal with unexpected changes Team Workers are important team members and they create cohesion within a team They are experienced at managing organizational problems within a team and supporting participants who may

be feeling overlooked As a result, Team Workers are common among coworkers.(belbin, 2021)

9 The Resource Investigator

Extroverts with a knack for networking are resource inspectors They are upbeat and positive individuals who love seeking new possibilities and studying new technologies They are skilled at picking up ideas from others, even though they do not actually come up with new ideas themselves Resource Investigators are excellent at making new company connections and working out subsequent deals because of their outgoing personalities They are very good at discovering new ideas and prospects and getting them back to the squad.(belbin, 2021)
