MAN 336 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Reward System, Information System
Document Summary
Teams make better decisions than the average of their members but they tend to make worse decisions than what their best member would alone. Engaging in peer evaluation makes people accountable to each other and improves their motivation to perform well. Setting individual goals does not necessarily help build effective teams. Setting team-based goals and being held accountable to those team goals will help the team perform more effectively. Effective teams: they have worked together for a long time, great communication keeps culture together, employees informed and engaged, everyone has to know the playbook. You can look group norms and a sense of cohesion as a marker of the effort of a team. You can look at roles as a marker of knowledge. You can look at these as markers of a team strategy. These processes are not things that you, as a manager, can directly influence.
