Question 1,3 and 5 has a link to each on can you click the link before answering the question

1.You touch on some of the different types of power that can exist within an organization. Each of those powers can help influence different things in varying circumstances. Certain situation may utilize expert power for instance, where other situations needs referent power and influence. There are also other forms of power as well. The qualities and traits of the individual employee or manager can determine the specific power that they gravitate toward when faced with a situation. Below is a link that touches on these powers further. Feel free to check it out.

Which types of power have you experienced? Which ones do you feel generate the best results?

 

2.You touch on team member roles and the importance of identifying them for each individual. All functional teams typically have specific roles that are assigned. In learning teams there is often a leader, a researcher, a compiler, and an editor. In workplace teams, there is generally a leader with the other roles varying depending on the specific tasks at hand. A successful team often assigns the roles based the specific strengths of each individual involved. As we talked about in previous discussions, these characteristics help determine the roles for most teams.

What techniques have worked for you in the past to assign roles to each member of the team?

 

3.Organizational power is an interesting thing. As we have discussed, it can be held at many different levels within the company, sometimes without regard to the actual job title. Typically, the positions such as president, CEO, COO, Director, etc. bring with them a certain level of organizational power. However, there are other factors that can impact just how much power someone may have with the company.

In correlation with this discussion, I found this article that touches on power and influence in the workplace. Feel free to check it out.

What was one or two things you took away from the article and how do they tie in with this week's concepts from the text book?

 

4.   Can you give me feed back on this posting?  In a group setting no one group member is better than the rest. In order for them to maximize the strengths of each member, they all must collaborate together and decide how they will succeed. You must have one person in charge but they do need to listen to what the other members have to say or the group will fail in completing their process of accomplishing a major goal.

 

5.You mention how some conflict can occur, which is not a bad thing. It is important for team members to learn to work together and work effectively. To do that, some disagreements may occur in the initial stages. The key here is for the team members to communicate in a professional manner to resolve these differences and get on the same page. Conflict could help the employees see different ways to solve a problem and complete a task as effectively as possible. One aspect of resolving conflict quickly and professionally is to understand the different conflict styles that can exist. 

Here is an article on conflict management. It discusses various skill sets and styles in managing conflict.  Feel free to check it out  http://www.cnr.berkeley.edu/ucce50/ag-labor/7labor/13.htm

What are your thoughts? Do you recognize your style? Do you see any styles that you would find to be beneficial in handling conflict?   Not beneficial?

 

6. I think that some type of conflict will always be inevitable when a group of people are together for an extended period of time. However, conflict can be a positive thing if handled appropriately. Often times conflict is viewed as negative, but it can be beneficial. The parties involved just have to keep in civil and have more of a discussion rather than an argument. If there were no conflict in life, then everyone would agree with one another. That would not allow for any new ideas of thought processes. In the big picture that could result in very little advancement of our society. In the scope of a business, that can translate to the company becoming stagnant, which could lead to loss of market share.

Conflict gets a bad rap sometimes because when someone hears that word, they tend to think about arguments, heated disagreements, and nastiness. But conflict could be as simple as a difference of opinion. It is a healthy thing that people disagree. That can lead to a wealth of ideas.

 If applicable, can you describe a situation where conflict was present and, as a result, created a positive outcome that may not have occurred if the conflict did not exist?
