This competency assessment assesses the following Outcome:
MT140M1-1: Describe solutions to management problems.
The Module 1 Assessment requires you to consider how effective teams are built. Some considerations in this assessment include the traits of an effective team leader as well as the strategies one would use to recruit team members that would communicate and work effectively together.
Prior to working on the assessment, consider completing the following learning activity, as it will prepare you to address the assessment requirements.
Using material from Chapter 12 of your text and the article in the supplemental reading (Rao, 2016), ( https://kapextmediassl-a.akamaihd.net/business/MT140/2105C/M1_M5/Collaborate_to_build_effective_teams.pdf ) you will write an informative essay sharing best practices for effective team-building at a fictional company.

Scenario (fictional): Collapsible Workspaces (CW) creates workspaces based on client needs worldwide. They are a hybrid company mixing online contracting and manufacturing plants located in three countries: The U.S., Spain, and Malaysia. They primarily create small office spaces for up to 10 persons that can then be collapsed and moved to another site in remote areas. The company, in turn, subcontracts a shipping line in each of these three countries that carry the collapsible offices to ports around the world and then trucks the offices to the client site. Companies subscribe on a contractual basis for this collapsible office service once they have initially paid for the construction of the offices. Each team is headed by a senior installer who supervises the two installers, the shipping company contact, and the truckers.
Lately, there have been problems between the installers, the subcontracted shippers, and truckers who must work as a team to get each job completed at the location on time. The shippers and the truckers all say that CW supervisors are not their supervisors. The teams seem stuck in the storming stage (see Exhibit 12.2). This problem has led to delays in installations and cost overruns.
Assessment Checklist:
Describe at least three specific ways this organization could build more effective teams with their subcontractors with supporting detail.
Identify and give an example of four traits demonstrated by effective team leaders per Exhibit 12.4 of the textbook.
Explain how the team can get out of the storming stage. (See Exhibit 12.2)
Based on the reading, describe how this team could become more cohesive with high-performance norms (See Exhibit 12.6).
Explain two ways this organization could ensure team leads are exhibiting the traits of an effective team leader with supporting details.
The paper is required to include an introduction, conclusion and be at least two double-spaced pages in length, using 11-point Georgia font. For assistance with current APA format and citation style, please see the Academic Success Center under Academic Tools.
Your submission must include a minimum of two references. The first being the course textbook, and the second is an article from the database ABI/INFORM Collection in the PG Library. Any additional articles must also derive from the database ABI/INFORM Collection. Cite using in-text citations where appropriate. Your sources and content should follow current APA format and citation style. Visit the Academic Success Center found in the Academic Tools area in your course for further assistance.

APA citation

Read the following statement:
Many companies have shifted from traditional annual
performance appraisals to frequent, constructive, and future-focused development
reviews.
Complete all 3 parts of this paper.

Part 1: Apply expectancy theory to explain why more frequent feedback and strengths-based focus of the new performance review process might motivate employees more than the traditional judgment-oriented, problem-focused, annual performance appraisal process.

Part 2: Research 2 to 3 journal articles which discuss the pros and cons of adding frequent vs yearly feedback. Respond to the following questions in light of these articles:
Are there employees who need frequent feedback and those who don’t need feedback as frequently? Cite the journal articles to support your response.
Is there a time when providing this type of feedback may be beneficial and times when it is not called for? Cite the journal articles to support your response.

Part 3: Write a brief (1 to 2 paragraph) policy change that describes a new way to provide feedback based on expectancy policy. Provide specific details such as frequency of feedback and detailed guidelines for meeting with staff.

What does this split-department situation do to your efficiency as a manager, and how can you compensate for this change?

Please complete Chapter 1 Exercise: Becoming a Split-Department Manager. Review the instructions and address the questions:

Exercise: Becoming a Split-Department Manager
Imagine that you are the manager of a department, the function of which is to provide service in your chosen profession. In other words, if your career is medical laboratory technology, you are a laboratory manager; if your field is physical therapy, you manage physical therapy or rehabilitation services, and so on. You are employed by a 60-bed rural hospital, an institution sufficiently small that you represent the only level of management within your function (unless your profession is nursing, in which case there will be perhaps two or three levels of management). This means that unless you are a first-line manager in nursing (for example, head nurse), you report directly to administration.
You have been in your position for about two years. Following some stressful early months, you are beginning to feel that you have your job under control most of the time.
The merger of your hospital with a similar but larger institution (90 beds) about 10 miles away, a possibility for years, recently became a reality. One of the initial major changes undertaken by the new corporate entity was realignment of the management structure. In addition to placing the new corporate entity under a single chief executive officer, the realignment included bringing most activity functions under a single manager. Between the merger date and the present, most department managers have been involved in the unpleasant process of competing against their counterparts for the single manager position.
You are the successful candidate, the survivor. Effective next Monday, you will be running a combined department in two locations consisting of more than twice the number of employees you have been accustomed to supervising.

INSTRUCTIONS
Generate a list of the ways in which you believe your responsibilities and the tasks you perform are likely to change because of the merger and your resulting new role.
Hint: It may be helpful to make lists of what you imagine to be the circumstances before and after your appointment. For example, two obvious points of comparison involve number of employees (which implies many necessary tasks) and travel inherent in the job.

What does this split-department situation do to your efficiency as a manager, and how can you compensate for this change?
Thanks
