Q: What does nature teach us about team


management?
Nature has a certain “natural “way of unfolding which provides us with
insights on how a leader can guide and direct an organization. Nature can be
described as systematic, organized and connected. Therefore, looking at these
characteristics, we can relate them to some sustainable organizations

1- Honeybees teach us the division of work:


We know that how thee honeybees collects the honey from different flowers
and fruits individually and stores it on a one place. Thing to bee notice that
how they convert the small piece of honey into large oval shape one. This is
called teamwork.

2- Gees teach us about leadership:


We can see that how every bird is following the leader. In which way the
leader turn,
every bird follows the leader and those who haven’t follow the leading bird
will be lost their path.

Q: What are the challenges that you face as team


manager?

1.Effective Communication with Your Employee:


Building effective communication with your employees will give you strong
foundation in your new role as a manager.

The way that we speak – and the way that we listen – play a vital role in
collaboration and teamwork. Not only that, the quality of communication on your
team impacts levels of trust and vulnerability, which are essential to creativity and
innovation.

As a new manager, it’s important for you to understand the communication


dynamics on your team so you can optimize the strengths and find ways to improve
any weaker areas.
2. Terminating an Employee:
There is no sleep aid for this one. No matter what you’ve done (see number
one), it’s always going to be gut-wrenching. No manager should ever get too
comfortable with this responsibility. Make sure you have clear policies and training
for severe conduct violations. For layoffs, make sure you use a fair and consistent
process, get training on how to conduct the discussion respectfully, and provide a
decent severance and outplacement package.

3.Team Conflicts:
As managers, we all want our employees to collaborate, work as a team,
and play nice in the sandbox. When one employee comes to you with complaints
about another employee, it puts the manager in an awkward position of having to
arbitrate the dispute.

It is important to distinguish between task or personal conflict when alerted to a


situation among team members. Task conflict is proven to be healthy and leads to
the consideration and development of alternative ideas. Personal conflict,
however, is toxic to teams and must be eliminated immediately.

4.Burnout:
Take care of your health and always keep a perspective on the things in life that
matter most. Managers that don’t take vacations are not benefiting from the
opportunity to recharge their batteries. They also set terrible examples for their
employees, which can lead to burning them out as well.
A primary cause of burnout is job satisfaction, not hard work. If you’re doing
something you genuinely hate, then plan to transition to something else. Life is
too short. We don’t need to settle for a job we hate.

5. Confronting an Employee Performance Problem:


Dealing with performance problems has been and always will be the
primary source of a manager's sleepless nights. While these issues are never easy,
they don’t have to be so hard. Many performance problems can be prevented with
better selection practices and then by setting clear performance expectations.

If you identify a problem, the sooner you engage in constructive feedback, the
faster you can facilitate a change in behavior. If the behavior does not improve, a
transparent, fair and time-boxed progressive discipline process is called for.

Q: World’s best business team managers

1) Tim Cook
Cook is the CEO of the most valuable company in the world, Apple. He took over
Apple after the company’s founder, Steve Jobs, succumbed to cancer in 2011.

2) Sheryl Sandberg
Sandberg has been the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook since 2008. She
founded a nonprofit, Lean In, named after her best-selling book.
3) Bob Iger
Iger is the CEO of the Disney Corporation. He has led the acquisitions of
major companies like Marvel, Pixar, and, most recently, Lucas Films. His leadership
has also led to the expansion of Disney’s theme parks into Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Conclusion:
In the end the conclusion is that. As a leader if you once make an effective
team means according to the rules and regulation that we have mention for an
effective management. So, your teamwork will also be successful means
everybody tries to achieve his task by heart or full attentions or tries give his
100% to achieve more and for the betterment of his team. So, if your teamwork is
successful means everybody is doing work in a collaboration. So, in the end your
organization will also become successful organization.

The concept of autonomous teams may be misleading as teams will always be


answerable to management and rely on the provision of resources and other
support. Nevertheless, one of the best ways to ensure that teams continue to
develop is to move towards self-regulation - an important way of monitoring the
progress of teams is to assess the level of dependence on management.
