professional image, and display a willingness to learn and grow personally. Treating team
members with respect fosters a collaborative and trustful work environment.

Leader: A leader is in charge of making sure that everyone on the team is involved and that
there are clear goals. They set the team's direction, make choices, and organize its activities.
Effective leaders prioritize tasks and manage their time well, focusing on achieving goals that
are doable.

raising issues with presumptions and choices, they promote critical thinking and assist the
group in avoiding complacency. In order to make sure that the team's goals are being met and
that it is always getting better, challengers are essential.
Team worker: A person who prioritizes people and cultivates a positive team atmosphere is

changes with ease and are the first to provide assistance when required.

13. Explain two different ways that a team can be organised.

Functional Structure: Members of a team are grouped according to their common knowledge
and abilities in a functional structure. In-depth knowledge and specialization within particular
fields are made possible by this kind of organization. It's frequently utilized in big businesses
where staff members are categorized according to their areas of expertise, such engineering,
marketing, or finance.
Matrix Structure: A matrix structure combines projectized and functional elements. Team
members are accountable to both a functional manager and a project manager under this
configuration. This makes it possible to strike a balance between project emphasis and
functional knowledge. It is frequently employed in intricate projects that need for close
cooperation between many functional areas.

14. Outline three problems that can occur within a team.

Poor Communication: Ineffective or insufficient communication can lead to misunderstandings,
conflicts, and a lack of clarity regarding duties and objectives. This may hinder the team's
progress and adversely affect overall morale.
Lack of Trust: A deficiency in mutual trust among team members can disrupt communication,
create hesitancy in sharing information, and have a detrimental impact on team dynamics and
productivity.
Tension and Conflict: Differences in viewpoints, approaches, or working styles may give rise to
tension and conflict within a team. Inadequate management of these issues can result in
decreased cohesion and hinder the team's progress toward achieving their objectives.

15. Explain how motivation assists in the management of individuals and teams at work.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency: Enhanced motivation can result in higher output and
efficiency, which will eventually maximize the organization's outcomes. Motivation is a
powerful tool for enhancing performance and productivity because it inspires people to work
together toward shared objectives.
Increased Job Satisfaction and Morale: Motivated people and teams are more likely to have
happier and more content workplaces. This may result in an atmosphere at work that is more
positive, more engagement, and eventually more output and dedication.
Attainment of Group Objectives: Drive can help groups and individuals work together to
accomplish group objectives. Managers may inspire cooperation among their teams by
presenting a compelling vision, establishing specific goals, and offering growth chances.

16. Identify two theories of motivation and how this applies to managing individuals and teams.

 SITXHRM009 Lead and manage people Student Assessment

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Abraham Maslow's theory posits that people are driven by a
hierarchy of needs encompassing safety, esteem, love/belonging, and physiology. To
effectively motivate team members, managers must recognize and address their diverse
needs, applicable to both individual and team management.
The Two-Factor Theory of Herzberg: Frederick Herzberg's theory identifies two categories of
factors: hygiene and motivation. It asserts that the absence of hygiene factors prevents
dissatisfaction, while their presence prevents it. Conversely, the absence of motivational
factors leads to a lack of motivation and contentment. This theory suggests that managers,
both for individuals and teams, should prioritize providing motivational elements to enhance
motivation and satisfaction, along with addressing hygiene factors to prevent discontentment.

17. Explain how group dynamics can impact on successful team management.
Influence on Team Performance: Group dynamics significantly affect a team's performance.
Cultivating positive dynamics such as trust, collaboration, and effective communication can
lead to increased productivity and enhanced performance. Conversely, unfavourable
dynamics, including a lack of trust and inadequate communication, can hinder teamwork and
yield unfavourable outcomes.
Role of Leadership: Leadership plays a crucial role in shaping group dynamics. Strong
leadership is essential for establishing and maintaining positive group dynamics. Leaders
guide the team's development, delineate roles and responsibilities, and create a cooperative
and supportive atmosphere.
Effect on Relationships and Team Morale: Group dynamics exert a substantial impact on
relationships and team morale. Positive dynamics, characterized by good communication,
trust, and support among team members, contribute to stronger relationships and heightened
team morale. Conversely, negative dynamics may result in conflicts, low morale, and strained
relationships, all of which can detrimentally affect the team's overall effectiveness.

18. Describe how each of the following recognition and rewards can assist with effective
leadership of staff.
a) acknowledging individual good performance to the whole team
Acknowledging individual accomplishments in this manner can empower CEOs to lead their
teams more effectively, fostering a culture of motivation and appreciation. Recognizing and
celebrating individual achievements not only uplifts the spirits of those acknowledged but also
sets a positive example for others. It serves as a motivational model, encouraging team
members to strive for excellence and contributing to the cultivation of a collaborative and
supportive work environment.
b) incentive initiatives
By offering material rewards for above-average performance, incentive programs can support
good leadership. This may inspire workers to go above and beyond in their positions, resulting
in higher output and engagement levels. Incentive programs can also assist in coordinating
team and individual goals with the organization's overarching objectives, which will ultimately
lead to better performance and outcomes.

c) informal acknowledgement
Casual expressions of gratitude, such as a simple "thank you" or a handwritten note of
appreciation, serve as highly effective leadership tools. These gestures can significantly
influence employee morale and job satisfaction, contributing to the establishment of strong,
positive connections between leaders and their teams. Moreover, informal recognition
cultivates a culture of continuous appreciation and evaluation, both of which are crucial for
maintaining elevated levels of engagement and motivation within the team.
d) presenting awards
Granting rewards for outstanding work can be a powerful way to express appreciation and
endorse effective leadership. This not only acknowledges the recipient's efforts but also sets a
standard for others to aspire to. Awards contribute to cultivating a positive and goal-oriented
work culture by reinforcing desired behaviours and values within the company.
e) written reports to management
Supporting effective leadership involves providing written reports to management as it ensures
that the achievements and efforts of both individuals and groups are publicly acknowledged
and documented. This practice not only strengthens the case for additional awards and
recognition but also increases awareness of the group's activities. Furthermore, it nurtures a
culture of transparency and fairness, both of which are essential for sustaining high levels of
engagement and motivation.

19. Outline two types of organisational plans and the steps needed to plan each.
Strategic Planning: defining an organization's mission, vision, and goals is the long-term planning
process known as strategic planning. The following are the steps in strategic planning:

 Evaluate the organization's mission, vision, and values for clarity and alignment.
 Conduct a SWOT analysis to identify the organization's strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats.
 Develop a comprehensive strategic plan that outlines the company's long-term goals and
objectives.
 Identify the necessary resources required to execute the strategic plan effectively.
 Formulate a detailed action plan specifying the steps and measures required to implement
the strategic objectives successfully.

Operational planning: it is a short-term planning procedure that concentrates on an organization's

daily activities. Operational planning involves the following steps:

 Define specific goals and objectives for each division or segment within the company.
 Allocate responsibilities and duties to team members to ensure the attainment of goals
and objectives.
 Develop a timeline outlining the milestones and deadlines for achieving the set goals and
targets.
 Implement a progress tracking system to monitor and assess the advancement towards
the established goals and targets.
