For my Team Project Class we are learning to work as a team on a consulting project so I felt it best to keep the focus on team building for this blog post.
This weeks’ blog is about something very important when you decide to start a business, Team Building. Building a team without dysfunction can be the make or break decision for any future business leader. In order to become a mogul, you must know the ins and outs of team building. You must know how to select individuals that posses no threat to the team with egos and works well with others. Trust and accountability is the glue that keeps a team together. Without one or the other is the entire project lacks and the success of the team is compromised.
The video I chose for my blog post this week is from 5 min Life Videopedia by SBTV (Small Business TV) on The Top 5 Dysfunctions of Team Building. In this video Patrick Lencioni author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team discuss his book and why teams fail. Lencioni breaks down these 5 dysfunctions in detail and resolutions for each dysfunction if a team should run into such a case.
The dysfunction of inattention to results, which is the last dysfunction, was the point in this video that I relate to most in dealing with team projects that doesn’t succeed due to egos. Within a team, there is no room for egos. No one-person gets more credit than the other, such as the cliché goes, “There is no I in Team”. As long as you have persons thinking there contributions are greater than the next team member there will be conflict. I have learned, the best way to resolve this type of issue is to take a consensus on the topic needing the idea and submit a combined anonymous vote to get the best idea for the team. The success of the project is the most important part of the project itself. Without success the team leave that particular project with ill feelings and a negative outlook on team building. Enjoy the video and please give feedback on you ideas of Team Building and Conflict.
