Instructions
Work as a team, beginning in Week 2 and compile all of the information included below in your own Word document. After doing so, send your completed work to your team leader so that they can upload one document that includes the work of all team members.
Complete the Leader Evaluation Form (linked in the Writing Requirements section below). This form is required by each member of your team. Failing to complete this form can result in a 20% deduction.
Scenario: Your Emergency Room Department has been short staffed for the last quarter. Patient satisfaction scores are dropping at a drastic rate (from a 9 out of 10 to a 6 out of 10). Employee morale is also at an all-time low. The Human Resources department has decided to form teams in the ER. However, there are a lot of varying personalities and some people are worried that their leadership style is not going to “mesh” well with others.
Your team was assembled by the HR director, but the CEO is concerned about the cohesiveness of the groups and is worried some of you may need to be transferred to different departments. Since you all love working in the ER, you need to convince the CEO that you can all work together as part of an effective team. Each team member will need to provide the following information to the team, and then all of this information will need to be compiled into one presentation:
- Name, phone number, times available for phone calls, preferred email address.
- How your Big Five Personality characteristics make you an effective team member (refer to text).
- Describe your leadership type and how you will use these strengths to collaborate with the rest of your team.
- Explain how you will navigate personality and leadership style differences as a team.
