Managing Organizational Change

For this Discussion Board, please complete the following 300-500 words: At Tech Health Solutions, the senior managers decided to boost motivation and performance by relying more on teamwork. Inspired by the concept of piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, they initially believed that assembling the best employees who perform their own jobs well would automatically result in the most successful teams. However, they soon realized that the key to a team's success lies not in who is on the team but in members who were motivated and who perceived their individual contributions as important to engaging in teamwork.  In organizational behavior, teams have become a powerful force. Understanding why teams are more effective than individuals working alone is the first step to becoming a team player. Go to Connect and take the assessment to evaluate whether you are a team player. Using what you have learned, respond to the following questions: Define the five Cs model of effective teamwork behavior (cooperating, coordinating, communicating, comforting, and conflict handling) and explain how each behavior helps the team succeed. Which of the five Cs do you find most challenging, and how can you improve in this area? Why is good communication important in teamwork? Give an example of a time when good or poor communication affected a team’s performance. What steps can be taken to improve communication among team members to help them work better together?
