Project
Roles:
• Listener. He gathers from the environment signals of impending
trouble, employee discontent, and opportunities for gain.
• Coach. He finds ways to help team members maximize their
potential and achieve agreed-upon goals. Coaching
opportunities are abundant within teams because the skills
members eventually need are often ones they don’t already
have.
• Working member. In addition to providing direction, the leader
must do a share of the work, particularly in areas where he has
special competence. Ideally, he should also take on one or two
of the unpleasant or unexciting jobs that no one else wants to
do.
• Initiator. Rather than tell people what to do, the leader
draws attention to actions that must be taken for team
goals to be met.
• Model. He uses his own behavior to shape others’
performance—by starting meetings on time, for
example, and following through on between meeting
assignments. Leaders often rely heavily on this tactic,
since they typically cannot use promotions,
compensation, or threats of dismissal to influence
team members.
• Negotiator. He gets what he needs from resource
providers by framing the project as mutually beneficial.
Project Teams:
1. Cross-Functional Teams:
A cross-functional team comprises individuals from different
departments who are brought together to solve a particular problem in a
set timeframe. The team can consist of full-time and part-time team
members with different roles and responsibilities. Once the project is
completed, the team is disbanded, freeing up resources for other
projects.
2. Matrix Teams:
If an individual reports to a different manager for different aspects of
their work, they are part of a matrix or ‘two-boss’ team. This structure is
quite challenging for employees, often leading to conflicting decisions
and confusion.
3. Contract Teams:
In certain instances, you may need to outsource part of the project work to
external vendors. The project manager is responsible for ensuring external
vendors deliver as expected.
4. Virtual Teams:
Global Workplace Analytics estimates that around 3.7 million employees
(2.8% of the workforce) work from home at least half the time, a number
likely to rise as more companies introduce flexible working arrangements.
Heavily reliant upon online collaboration tools, virtual teams
are characterized by:
• When people work, for example, different shifts or time zones.
• Where people work, including at home or shared working spaces.
• How people work depends on cultural, political, social, and economic
factors.
Team Building Process:
• Team building is also a science. There are formally identified stages
of team formation and development. The stages are:
• Forming: People are brought together as a team
• Storming: There are disagreements as people learn to work together
• Norming: Team members begin to build good working relationships
• Performing: The team becomes efficient and works effectively
together
• Adjourning: The project ends and the team is disbanded
