Answer to Question 1

Managers play a key role in developing effective teams. They must communicate effectively, use appropriate leadership styles, conduct teambuilding exercises, and explain the team's role in helping the operation reach goals. They must also apply effective management skills to support the team. High-performance teams are those with very committed members who are allowed to plan ambitious goals, make decisions, and work hard to reach stretch goals.

Team leaders have excellent interpersonal skills and allow members to make decisions that contribute to reaching goals. They also request comments from members about work methods and work with the team and other managers to help ensure their teams are effective.

Teams do not work well when a poor management style is used, there is high employee turnover, or there is a focus on relationships instead of goals.

Conflict between team members must be effectively managed. Strategies include the direct approach in which the manager decides how to resolve it. Other strategies involve bargaining, enforcing team rules, or ignoring the conflict. The best tactic is often to allow team members to work together to resolve the conflict.
