Dying old man and bundle of sticks
Synergy through teams 1+1 >> 2
What can we learn from little ants?
From honeybees?
From the birds flying in a formation?
40. THE MAGIC OF SYNERGY
Normally, 1+1=2.
But, sometimes when we work as a
TEAM, 1+1 may become 11, 111, or
even 1111! In fact, there is no limit.
That is called SYNERGY;
It is SYNCHRONISED ENERGY.
It has a MULITIPLIER EFFECT.
It grows in GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION,
or even EXPONENTIAL
Project is time consuming and intellectually challenging. When several people use their skills and knowledge together, the result should be a better project. People working together can sustain the enthusiasm and lend support needed to complete the project.
Teams succeed when members have:
The answer key to the Team game 2- 'Counting the squares': Total 50 squres
<number>
As the team matures, members gradually learn to cope with each other and the pressures that they face. As a result, the team goes through the fairly predictable stages noted on the slide. - Team Game – Sell your self – Campaign Craze <number>
To help the members adapt to their team, it might be wise to have them to simple activities to build trust and establish communication between the members. However, in the context of the computational science project many of the forming actions are undertaken as the team determines what their project topic will be and narrows the focus to reach their project goal. Leader can help members as they \"form\" their teams by making sure that they understand the process they will go through to get their task.You may want to include some activities to illustrate trust and/or communication skills in a team.
<number>
This is probably the most difficult stage for the team. They may be floundering trying to find a project topic that is narrow enough to study or a mentor to help them. They begin to realize that this project is different than other ones that they have done in the past. Teachers can help students through this stage by encouraging members to use their individual skills and assume more responsibilities.Understanding how personality types interact can ease some of the tensions in the storming stage.<number>
As a leader, you can help your members when they are in the “storming” stage, by focusing their attention on the questions above. The students may want to answer the first question both in general terms and more specifically, in conjunction with their project goals. <number>
During this stage, team members begin to work out their differences and now have more time and energy to spend on their work. Thus they are able to start making significant progress. In the context of the computational science project, the students have probably found a mentor who is helping them and have narrowed their project focus. <number>
During this stage, you should encourage team members to:do detailed planningdevelop criteria for completion of goalsbuild on positive norms and change unhealthy normsencourage continued team spiritNow that the team is working well, it is important for team members to learn to communicate with each other including how to constructively criticize when necessary.<number>
During the performing stage, the team is now an effective and cohesive unit. As a team, the emphasize quality work; utilize each member’s talents; meet deadlines; and continue to work on team commitment.Examples of the results of good team work can be seen on the Video tapes and CDs from the National Expos. The presentation itself is an example of team work.The duration and intensity of these stages vary from team to team. Sometimes Stage 4 is achieved in a meeting or two; other times it takes months. Understanding the stages of growth will keep you from overreacting to normal problems and setting unrealistic expectations. Don’t panic. With patience and effort the assembly of independent individuals will grow into a team.
