In general sports team provide lessons for managers. Sometimes one sport is more relevant and instructive model than others. However it is the manager’s job to consider the sports team which is fit as role model for the particular workplace team being emulated. Nature of interdependence An important dimension of fit concerns is the extent and nature of interdependence among teammates. Research by Robert Keidel According to Mr. Robert when it comes interdependence. There are three fundamental types of team sports, exemplified by baseball, football and basketball. Each sport team is being explained below. Baseball In baseball the level of interdependence is low. The interaction among teammates is less and nature of interdependence can be described as pooled. Team members are widely dispersed across the field and rarely there are two or three players directly involved in a play. Offence and defense is completely separated. Coordination is achieved through structure of the game which determines the sequence of plays. The performance of the team is largely the sum of the performance of its individual members. An excellent team is made up of excellent individual performers. Other characteristics of Baseball 1. The flow of information is both top-down and bottom-up in baseball type team. 2. Self-reliance is the dominant value. 3. Recruitment is geared to select self-starters. 4. Rewards are contingent upon individual performance. Managers Vital Task While managing a team whose characteristics are of like baseball type team managers important task is determining the line-up. The central challenge is amassing strong individual talent and playing those individuals in the right sequence. Football Speaking of interdependence foo... ... middle of paper ... ...erventions at auspicious moments—-which may mean waiting until the temporal midpoint before trying to influence the team's process. Second, formally structure a halt-time assessment into the work of the team. At that time, encourage team members to address questions like 1. How much have we accomplished thus far? 2. How much do we still need to accomplish? 3. If we continue to allocate our time, abilities, and resources in the way we have, are we likely to meet our goals? 4. How can we better allocate our time, abilities, and resources? Third, create more opportunities for effective interventions more midpoints by creating more deadlines. This involves breaking the team's work up into smaller chunks with interim deadlines. Fourth, if the team's task is ongoing rather than finite, introduce an artificial endpoint, such as end-of-quarter results or annual performance.
The game of baseball can be divided into three broad categories: hitting, pitching, and defense. No other facet of the game gets as much attention as hitting. For example, every year the MLB puts on a home run derby. No other part of the game draws as much attention. The traditional statistic that measure hitting ability is batting average (BA or AVG). To find a players batting averag...
A dedicated baseball player shows up ready to play and succeed in whatever situation may arise. Baseball is a mental game, and concentration is key to keeping a player mentally prepared. Baseball is both a fast and slow sport, as it is slow between pitches, but very intense during them. During pitches, it is a players time to regroup and think of all the situations that could arise during the next pitch. During the play, everything happens fast, and there is no time to think about what to do, it is all instinct, so the ability to avoid mental errors is crucial.
Baseball is a unique sport in many different ways. It is the only major competitive sport that has no time limit. The success of a player is determined on how well he can play as an individual and how well the team plays along with him. There are many rules that determine the success of a player’s performance. A baseball game is played with two teams and each team is permitted 25 players per team; however this is only true for professional teams. There are three parts to baseball: offense, pitching, and defense.
In baseball there are several types of team players and how the team plays always determines on team chemistry. Team chemistry plays a major role in winning games, playing good, and not losing. Whenever a baseball team has great chemistry, no team will ever beat you. Whenever you get along together good, you are able to communicate and play together very well. There’s two major keys in baseball, communication and chemistry. In baseball whenever you make an error or get mad at something, you have to shake it off because the ball will always find you and then you’ll make even more errors.
In this chapter the author discusses the importance of inviting participation from the team. The author also encourages the reader to notice how others perceive them and to spend some time walking in their teammates shoes. I believe this motto involves the entire team, is a constant work in progress...
Trying to define codependency can be very difficult. It is not an exact or definitive state; rather, it's more of a general description for a variety of behaviors. Put simply, codependency is an addiction to love, where one person in a relationship is devoted and completely invested to a point where it negatively affects his or her emotional and physical well-being.
“The Forming – Norming – Storming – Performing model of team development was first proposed by Bruce Tuckman in 1965. This model has become the basis for subsequent models of team dynamics and frequently used management theory to describe the behavior of existing teams (Wikipedia).”
Substance disorders affects all social, educational, cultural, and age groups. Substance abuse research often focusses on the abuser and the family as a whole but not how it affects their spouse. United States misuse is linked to approximately 590,000 deaths and is responsible for injury or illness to almost 40 million individuals every year. (Cox, R., Ketner, J. & Blow, A. 2013). The consequences resulted from this disorder, are not only related to the substance abusers, but also have a great influence on their behavior and other layers of their life, especially their wives (Salehyan, Bigdeli, & Hashemian 2011). When the husband or boyfriend has an addiction the wife takes on responsibilities of her spouse which causes an increase in stress. Marriage is generally described as a protective factor against substance use. The concept of codependency was developed to explain what happens to the spouse of a substance abuser.
The type of data that will be collected throughout this paper will be from Major League baseball from over the past years. There are various types of data for each part of the game, such as hitting and pitching statistics. Applied to that data will be the mathematical formulas and calculations that will help get us the end statistics that are so important to the game and they will show overall how math is an influential part of the game.
Seven tasks must be included in consideration of team dynamics and structure. The first of which is defining the goal, mission or function of a specific team. The team must know what it is being asked to accomplish. The second area of consideration is assessing what skills, abilities, knowledge or potential to acquire such would be needed amongst selected team members. Identification of potential team members should include an assessment of the skills, knowledge and abilities or the potential to acquire such so that ultimately the team has the building blocks with which to succeed in its mission, goal or function. This assessment must include an understanding of realistic potential contributions by potential team members with the included assessment of whether or not the acquisition of skills and knowledge can be made available through research and analysis.
Baseball is a great game to analyze from game theory perspective because of the scale of strategic decisions that are continuously made on the fields and each play. In every play, there are various players (baseball players, coaches, team managers and owners) with different goals and payoffs, and thousands of pitch-by-pitch decisions are made in course of an at-bat, inning, game, and season.
We also addressed potential barriers that we may encounter, like scheduling conflicts due to personal or work related issues & technological boundaries, for each person may be on a different level in this area. Also, the time zone factor which is the biggest & you must prioritize it for the benefit of the team & the competency of each members contributions. Trust must be earned by the team members & leader through fulfilling duties, assignments, & commitments. (Temme, J. & Katzel, J. (1995)
To ensure that this is achieved, evaluation guidelines for team function and productivity can be done using The Hill Model for Team Leadership. This model is “based on the functional leadership claim that the leader’s job is to monitor the team and take any necessary action needed to ensure the effectiveness of the team” (Northouse, 2016, p. 366). That said, it provides the leader a guide to help diagnose team problems and take appropriate action to address them. The model has four sections of layers. The first or the top layer pertains to the leadership decisions if the leader needs to monitor or take action in a given situation. Next is the level of intervention, which is either external or internal. After determining the level of intervention, the leader can now select the function of intervention. If it is external, environmental functions such as networking, assessing, and advocating can be done. On the other hand, if internal action is needed, leader musts determine if task or relational intervention is essential. In task, training, clarification of goals, and setting the standard is done. While, in relational, coaching, managing conflicts, and satisfying needs could be implemented. Lastly, at the last layer of the model, team effectiveness can now be determined through performance or task accomplishment and development or team maintenance. Team effectiveness centers on team excellence by getting the job done and maintaining a cohesive team (Northouse,
