CHAPTER 2
TEAM FUNCTIONS
"As a coach you have the choice of two
main team strategies; play the
counterattack or carry the play to the opponent, thus choosing a defensive
or an attacking style of football. Based on this choice are the
defensive, building-up and attacking guidelines."6
Rinus Michels
INTRODUCTION
A successful manager has to know how to manage,
admin and control the entire operation in a team. A team is a group of people
working towards a common goal. Team building is a process of enabling them to
achieve that goal. The team involves the
intelligent scanning of the environment, Awareness of the functioning of the team,
Flexibility or readiness to change, Tolerance of ambiguity and difference
within the team, a preparedness to accept uncertainty as change occurs. In an effective team function lead to negative
impact to the organization in terms of absence of trust among team members,
fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability and negative
results in a business. Team members are
worried about setting priorities, managing time, coordinating efforts, and
distributing the work. These things are happening When goals are unclear or
vague, otherwise members cannot agree goals of an organization.

sustainable competitive advantage that has been largely untapped."

art of leadership in group communication. A facilitator is one member of the
team who fulfills this leadership role. It is happening either online or
face to face among the team members who

makes it different things to different people in a team. The facilitator’s main
job is to lead to the team and its process. It help to all team members to improve
themselves in terms of communicating, examine and solve critical problems, and
make decisions.

Team leaders are in a tough spot. Most are managers
who have been given new roles as their departments have evolved into functional
and cross-functional teams. Unfortunately, the skills that helped them be
successful as managers don't necessarily apply in an organization.

Through practice and feedback, team leaders must
learn the skills they need to effectively maximize a team's energy, thinking,
and resources. This helps empower teams as they meet to move forward on issues,
solve problems, and make decisions.
The purpose of assembling a team is to accomplish bigger goals than any
that would be possible for the individual working alone. The aim and purpose of
a team is to perform, get results and achieve victory in the workplace and
marketplace. The very best managers are those who can gather together a
group of individuals and mould them into a team. Here are ten key differentials
