3. Why Teams?
several people’s skills and knowledge together, in-turn gives better result
Sustain the enthusiasm and lend support needed to complete the task.

11. Stages in Team Building
Forming
Storming
Norming
As the team matures, members gradually learn to cope with each other and the pressures that they face. As a result, the team goes through the fairly predictable stages noted on the slide. - Team Game – Sell your self – Campaign Craze
Performing

12. Stage 1: FORMING Team Building Task Define team
Determine individual roles
Develop trust and communication
Develop norms
Task
Define problem and strategy
Identify information needed
To help the members adapt to their team, it might be wise to have them to simple activities to build trust and establish communication between the members. However, in the context of the computational science project many of the forming actions are undertaken as the team determines what their project topic will be and narrows the focus to reach their project goal. Leader can help members as they "form" their teams by making sure that they understand the process they will go through to get their task.
You may want to include some activities to illustrate trust and/or communication skills in a team.

13. Team Norms How do we support each other?
What do we do when we have problems?
What are my responsibilities to the team?

14. Stage 2: STORMING During the Storming stage team members:
realize that the task is more difficult than they imagined;
have fluctuations in attitude about chances of success;
may be resistant to the task; and,
have poor collaboration.
This is probably the most difficult stage for the team. They may be floundering trying to find a project topic that is narrow enough to study or a mentor to help them. They begin to realize that this project is different than other ones that they have done in the past. Teachers can help students through this stage by encouraging members to use their individual skills and assume more responsibilities.
Understanding how personality types interact can ease some of the tensions in the storming stage.

15. STORMING DIOGNINS Do we have common goals and objectives?
Do we agree on roles and responsibilities?
Do our task, communication, and decision systems work?
Do we have adequate interpersonal skills?
As a leader, you can help your members when they are in the “storming” stage, by focusing their attention on the questions above. The students may want to answer the first question both in general terms and more specifically, in conjunction with their project goals.

16. Stage 3: Norming During this stage members accept: their team;
team rules and procedures;
their roles in the team; and,
the individuality of fellow members.
Team members realize that they are not going to crash-and-burn and start helping each other.
During this stage, team members begin to work out their differences and now have more time and energy to spend on their work. Thus they are able to start making significant progress.
In the context of the computational science project, the students have probably found a mentor who is helping them and have narrowed their project focus.

17. Behaviors Competitive relationships become more cooperative.
There is a willingness to confront issues
and solve problems.
Teams develop the ability to express criticism constructively.
There is a sense of team spirit.
During this stage, you should encourage team members to:
do detailed planning
develop criteria for completion of goals
build on positive norms and change unhealthy norms
encourage continued team spirit
Now that the team is working well, it is important for team members to learn to communicate with each other including how to constructively criticize when necessary.

18. Stage 4: PERFORMING Team members have:
gained insight into personal and team processes;
a better understanding of each other’s strengths and weaknesses;
gained the ability to prevent or work through group conflict and resolve differences; and,
developed a close attachment to the team.
During the performing stage, the team is now an effective and cohesive unit. As a team, the emphasize quality work; utilize each member’s talents; meet deadlines; and continue to work on team commitment.
Examples of the results of good team work can be seen on the Video tapes and CDs from the National Expos. The presentation itself is an example of team work.
The duration and intensity of these stages vary from team to team. Sometimes Stage 4 is achieved in a meeting or two; other times it takes months. Understanding the stages of growth will keep you from overreacting to normal problems and setting unrealistic expectations. Don’t panic. With patience and effort the assembly of independent individuals will grow into a team.

19. How can I become a better team member?
Keep the broader picture in mind rather than getting absorbed in ‘my’ ‘own’ task
My efforts should add value to the team
My goal not achieved if team goal is not
Use resources just sufficient to complete my part of the team task
‘Sail on’, rather than ‘pass on’
Create cooperative, friendly climate in team

as being different.

A team consists of different individuals.
The objective is to make them all work together like a fist,
like a team.

the right person, at the right time, for the right job.

39. Stories Dying old man and bundle of sticks
Synergy through teams 1+1 >> 2
What can we learn from little ants?
From honeybees?
From the birds flying in a formation?

40. THE MAGIC OF SYNERGY Normally, 1+1=2.
But, sometimes when we work as a TEAM, 1+1 may become 11, 111, or even 1111! In fact, there is no limit.
That is called SYNERGY;
It is SYNCHRONISED ENERGY.
It has a MULITIPLIER EFFECT.
It grows in GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION, or even EXPONENTIAL
"exponential growth" means growing at a rate that is proportional to the current size.
