 |  Subject: Reason of Team Fail  Wed Apr 23, 2014 11:22 pm | |
| Why Team Fail?There are many reasons why a team might fail to perform. Some of the most common are:
- Disorganisation, lack of direction or leadership
- Unclear or conflicting goals and expectations
- Fragmentation of time and competing commitments
- Lack of motivation or dedication
- Conflict
Reason for conflict?Regardless of individual abilities teams may be hindered by conflict. Problems may be perceived or actual, but nonetheless what affects group cohesion usually affects group performance. Types of conflict typical to group assessment tasks:
- Conflicting personal goals or expectations, particularly in terms of marks if the task attracts a single group mark
- Lack of contact or communication, leading to uncertainty about a team member’s contribution and commitment to the task
- Poor planning processes, which may result in inefficiency, doubling up, misinterpreting or missing key aspects of the task
- Unfair distribution of work can bread resentment as well as inefficiency
- Poor use of team members’ skills for tasks which can result in the team underperforming
- Missed minor deadlines, especially when they hold up other work
- Lack of coordinated finishing process, resulting in individual contributions remaining disjointed
- External factors such as work or personal commitments that affect the group or an individual member’s ability to work
- Dominance of the group by one or more members leading to disharmony and frustration
- ‘Freeloading,’ where a group member deliberately avoids contributing work in order to receive marks without effort
SolutionIf conflict does arise within the team to an extent that it impedes on work or the quality of work, consider the following steps as a group:
- Identify causes of conflict
- State their effect on the team and the task
- Negotiate a solution that suits all
- State steps to resolve the conflict
- Document the process
- Seek mediation as a last resort
Above all, negotiate. Separate interests from egos, and try to manage the best result for all. Remember to turn disagreement into a positive attribute of teamwork. Make conflict constructive rather than a personal attack.Be proactive. Don’t wait and see what happens. Find a way to meet face to face – either as a whole group, or with the interests of the whole group represented. Review communication and decision making processes, and try a new approach if they are not working. Reaffirm or revise group goals for the task. |
