Teamwork & Interpersonal Relations Final
Teamwork & Interpersonal Relations Final
Have the group sit in a circle where everyone can see the others. The
first person says their name. The next person continues, but after
saying their own name, they repeat the first person’s name.
This continues with each person repeating one more name. Reassure
people towards the end that it’s ok if they get stuck & encourage the
others to jump in to help if anyone is lost.
INTRODUCTION TO GROUP
DYNAMICS
Dr. Bruce Tuckman published this model in 1965 and added the 5th stage, adjourning,
in the 1970s.
• Stage 5: Outcomes
The relationship between actions and outcomes is often a complicated one. Many
Situational and environmental factors can impact whether an action has a desired or
even a predictable outcome. It is also notable that the outcomes are feedback to the
problem recognition stage. Thus, whether or not outcomes are successful impacts
whether future problems arise.

Team Synergy
• Synergy comes from the Greek word synergia, meaning joint work and
cooperative action.
• Synergy is when the result is greater than the sum of the parts.
Synergy is created when things work in concert together to create an
outcome that is in some way of more value than the total of what the
individual inputs is.
How to energize your team…
and keep it going…?
1. Set a positive example.
• You may present your own version of the leadership pizza to demonstrate an example. Emphasise that
your version is just an example, and they should think about what is important for leadership in their own
perspective.
• Assign time for participants to prepare their own set of important leadership skills and attributes, and ask
them to draw a pizza shape and label the slices with the items they listed.
• At this point, you may ask people to share their drawings with the group and explain which labels have
they chosen. You may discuss certain decisions and identify common patterns in the group's perception of
a good leader.
• Ask participants to assess themselves on a scale of 1 to 10 for each slice. (10 is the edge if the slice, 1 is
the core of the pizza). This self-assessment should serve as a baseline for setting up their own personal
goals for leadership development. The areas where they find them weaker should receive more focus in
their future development.

basically give in, although inside you are frustrated and
angry
• Compromise- You give up something and so does the other
party, but neither of you is totally satisfied.
• Integration - You and the other party work together to
find a solution that satisfies both of you
• Effective Communication Skills

eventually gives up.

Workshop – 6 Power To Empower
Sharing Power: Empowerment
• This means sharing power in such a way that individuals learn to believe in their
ability to do the job
• The driving idea of empowerment is that the individuals closest to the work and
to the customers should make the decisions and that this makes the best use of
employees’ skills and talents
Empowerment Skills
• Reward Power: The ability to deliver positive consequences or remove negative ones, e.g.
transfers, praise, thanks, time off in lieu and performance related pay.
• Coercive Power: The ability to mete out negative consequences or remove positive ones, e.g.
punishments, disapproval, not promoting annual reports.
• Legitimate Power : Others accept that you ought to have power over them because of your
position, e.g. your role, grade, official Power, e.g., the police.
• Referent Power: Others identify with you or want to be like you, e.g. role models.
Types of Power
• Expert Power : Others see you as having some special knowledge or skill (doctors,
counselors).
• Information Power: Others believe you have resources or information which will be useful to
them, e.g. messengers, networks and formal clubs.
• Internal Power: This is the power which comes from within the individual and is often called
‘personal power’. It is perhaps one of the most important sources of power because others
cannot take it away. Internal power can, however, be reduced by various forms of ‘internal
blockages’; for example, stress, illness, depression, refusal to use it, regarding the
responsibility of power as too frightening, or low self
Using Power Ethically
Determining weather a power-related behaviour is ethical is
complex. Another way to look at the ethics surrounding the use
of power is to ask three questions that show the criteria for
examining power related behaviours.
Does the behaviour treat all parties equitably and fairly? This
question represents the criterion of distributive justice.
Using Power Ethically
To be considered ethical, power-related behaviour must meet all three
criteria. If the behaviour fails to meet the criteria, then alternative
actions should be considered
