 Work as a team member

II. Background Information for Learners

A team environment is important to a workplace. It is any situation that focuses
on everyone working together rather than individually, particularly in the workplace.
Whatever role you play, sometimes you will encounter situations that call for
teamwork. It is especially important to learn to work well in teams if you find a job
that focuses on a team environment. You will need to learn how to communicate well
in meetings, work together on projects, and be professional in the workplace, and in
fact, you will likely need these skills whenever you work for a job someday.

1. Describe Team Role and Scope

1.1 Identify  role and objective of the team
A team refers to a group of people who are working together toward a common
goal. An effective team means a group of individuals where each person is committed
to work towards a shared goal.
Role refers to one’s position in a team. It is how the person will act and his
function to be performed within the group.
Different individuals have different roles to play within a team. Here are five
roles of an effective team.
1. Leader. The leader provides direction, vision and motivation to the team as well as
creates guidelines for working with each other.
2. Creative Director. The Creative director provides support to the team to maintain
energy for everyone involved that is vital for achieving end results.
3. Facilitator. The facilitator helps the team to make the decision
4. Coach. The coach provides one-to-one support to each team member after training.
5. Member. The last role of an effective team member needs to participate in team
meetings and do whatever assigned to them. Members should regularly communicate
with the team leader; understand what the leader wants from you.
Scope refers to the combined objectives and requirements needed to complete a
project. It outlines the time and cost of a business project.

1
What are Team Objectives?
Team objectives are the specific actions and measurable steps your company
must take to reach a desired outcome. They give you a clear understanding of the
specific tasks or projects that need to be completed in order to get closer to the
company objective.
Objective has the word “object” in it. Objects are concrete. Because of this,
objectives can be scoped with timeframes, budgets, and tangible results. The
S.M.A.R.T. approach in developing objectives is a useful framework to help you make
sure you have defined them in the right way.
The acronym SMART stands for:
 Specific – Make your goals well-defined and clear for more effective planning
 Measurable – Criteria to measure progress in accomplishing you goal is set
 Attainable – Goal can be accomplished within a specific timeframe.
 Relevant – Objectives relate to your long-term goal and aligns with your
company’s vision.
 Time-bound — Your objectives must have a concrete deadline.

1.2 Identify team parameters, relationships, and responsibilities
What are Team Parameters?
Parameters are factors or limits which affect the way that something can be
done or made. No team can work ethically or efficiently without defined and consistent
parameters.  Parameters keep the team focused and provide a policy block that help
difficult decisions be made efficiently.  Parameters protects the team and keep its
identity strong.  

Parameters to Define Success

A. Engagement - Employees who work together are more productive than those
who stay remote and work by themselves.
B. Employee’s growth - A good leader understands the potential of each team
members and enhances their skills and abilities to help them achieve the goals
they set for themselves.
C. Training - A good leader always finds time to impart knowledge to team
members. Counting how many people have achieved big things under your
leadership is a good measure to use for a good leader.
D. Fairness - A good leader strives to see team members grow and is not partial on
any count. He/she adheres to a balanced standard of justice without taking
into consideration personal feelings and inclinations.
E. Respect for others - A good leader is respected by all team members. They look
up and follow a leader not because they are scared, but because they believe in
the leader’s cause. A successful leader makes their employees feel appreciated
and treats them with respect.

Characteristics of a Good Work Relationship

1. Trust. When you trust  your team members, you should be open and honest in
your thoughts and actions.

2
2. Respect. Teams working together with mutual respect  give value on each
member’s input, and find solutions based on collective insight.
3. Self-awareness. Being responsible for the words your uttered and your actions, not
letting your emotions rule over you that would affect any person
4. Inclusion. Do not just accept but welcome diverse people and opinions.
5. Open communication. All good relationships depend in open and honest
communication. Identify individual role and responsibilities. Do active listening and
speaking to gather and convey information

Team Members' Responsibility

There are two types of responsibility within a team: Shared responsibility and
Individual responsibility.
a. Shared Responsibility – refers to responsibilities or tasks shared by the whole
team. Shared responsibility increases productivity and efficiency.
b. Individual Responsibility – refers to a specific task an individual team member
needs to perform. Everyone must take responsibility for his/her actions.
What is active listening?
Active listening is referred to responses of any person to whatever
communication received from another person in a form of feedback delivered using his
own words as a way of understanding the message.
Active listening is most often used to improve personal relationships, reduce
misunderstanding and conflicts, strengthen cooperation, and foster understanding.
What is speaking?
Speaking is a way of communicating using words uttered through the mouth.
This is one of the language skills that should be developed by any person. Speaking is
delivered either formal or informal.
Informal speaking is used in everyday dealings with friends and family members
or persons you have known well for a long time. Formal speaking happens in business
meetings or occasion in academic endeavors. This should also be the language to use
you are introduced to a person you have not been met.

2. Schedule priorities and comply them

objectives

learning how to establish priorities. The are suggested ways on how to efficiently

other people’s tasks ahead among your priorities.
4. Consider consequences highly important tasks with extremely significant
consequences are done before tasks that have minimal consequences.
5. Remove unnecessary items from the list, concentrate on the things that are
most important.

things to be done

Commitments

provide them with better service will improve your relationship with them.

2. Take stock of your resources. Assessing what the company has both internal and
external resources to better serve its customers is always necessary. The

equipment failures before they occur. This can be grouped into either preventive
or predictive maintenance. Preventive maintenance is a routine inspection of
equipment with smaller issues for minor repairs to be implemented to avoid bigger
problems to happen. Predictive maintenance refers to the checking or monitoring of
the assets’ condition using sensor devices to forecast the time when maintenance will

communication style are emails, chats and all other forms of written
