Question: 02

 Productivity, Cohesion, Learning/growth and integration with rest of organization are the 

four 

measures to assess team effectiveness.  Which of the above measure is affected by team f

ormation 

(member’s designation & experience) the most? Justify your answer with at least two arg

uments.    

Answer

Integration with the rest of organization is affected by team formation the most.

Integration play a key role in team effectiveness. However, the rest of the four measures
are still effective. In the following we can come to about the importance of integration for

team effectiveness.

Mutually beneficial partnerships are common in business to achieve larger goals. For

example, two banks of the same name might team up to produce a E transaction that they

could not otherwise launch on their own. Partner companies require integration to

communicate their needs and obtain project status reports. If one bank design the

scenario, the other bank may bring it into practice more so the process by the help of

integration become effective.

Integration with the rest of the company is critical because it shows the willingness of

decision-makers to lead employees. If managers aren't on the same page with each other

and fail to implement business strategy, workers lose faith in their bosses ' managerial

abilities. For example, if employees have concerns about their position in achieving an

enterprise directive, and Because of coordination issues, company managers cannot

answer those questions, employees may disregard managers and rely on their own

approaches.
