Dynamics Week 3 Discussion

Q This week we learned more about ENABLING STRUCTURE. Hackman posits that three structural features are key in fostering competent teamwork. (1) Task design. The team task is a whole and meaningful piece of work for which members have autonomy to exercise judgment about work procedures, and that provides members with regular and trustworthy data about how well the team is doing. (2) Team composition. The team is as small as possible, has members with ample task and interpersonal skills, and consists of a good mix of members. (3) Core norms of conduct. The team clearly and explicitly specifies both those member behaviors that are especially valued and those that are unacceptable. Tell us about a team you have been a part of (work, sports, etc.) in terms of these particular features. Briefly describe the team you are analyzing, but focus specifically on task design, team composition, and core norms. How did the presence (or absence) of these structures impact your team's performance? I'm looking for you to really hone in on the importance of these things and how they relate to good (or bad) performance. DIG IN THERE!!!!!

I am not going to talk about a huge team instead of a small team in my community where I am involved as an active member. It is a team that has been designed to rescue animals from a dangerous situation. It is not that we are active every time yet as a task design we are always alert for we need to know where some animals are in need.
