Managing Teams

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how to effectively and efficiently manage teams from creation to deployment. According to this paper, 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.

From the Paper:

"In the contemporary business environment the concept of using teams rather than individual expertise has become a popular management strategy. When creating teams, it is important for managers to try to match the right learning personality with the most appropriate work and implement initiatives that will encourage team members to stay focused and increase proficiency. It is also imperative for managers to provide team members with clear direction towards a specific goal. Building the most efficient team is not an easy task. Managers must identify and utilize top key characteristics that best suit the needs of the organization (i.e. style flexing)."
