Create an ethics training manual for a company of your choice. Assume your group is on the
company’s ethics committee tasked to put together this training manual for both new and current employees.
the failure of an organization is having good communication between team members will lead to sharing information and having constant interactions, respecting one another leading to entire team having a clear vision of the project increasing willingness to work better to achieve the same goal which increases the probability of creating successful companies.
As McKEEBY, J. W. (2012) said in his journal due to the rapid expansion of organizations, employees need to have unique skill sets and the team should be able to be managing even one system. Even though the teams are using standard methodologies and tools, we can still see that teams do not share information, goals and their priorities with other departments and gaps in communication and we see members of the team function individually. To overcome this leadership group should set some goals like “learning to work better together” and “communicating better”. Stanier, M. B. (2018) “Communication should be the easy element in managing the tension between individuals and teams, but we often get it wrong. Communication should reflect our actual reward strategy.”
Levasseur, R. E. (2011) in here he discussed how Tuckman studied the process “ by which groups develop and categorized this process into four stages: forming, storming, norming, and performing. In the forming (F) stage, a group of individuals comes together for a specific purpose and spends an initial period adjusting to one another and the stated group goal. Fueled by resistance to group influence and to task requirements for achieving the group goal, the storming (S) stage is generally characterized by a significant relationship (i.e., interpersonal) conflict”.
Before the team is formed, it is going to be a group of people with individual entities. Once the decision is made to form a team(stage1) then the members have concerns about their team members like how they are going to be, will they cooperate with the work, the purpose of the mission and what takes to get the most out of each other etc., During the forming(F) stage each member should try to understand and ask others questions so that each can learn from other.
The next stage that we have is Storming(S). This is considered a conflict stage, usually, team members will be struggling with their individual work. To be a highly successful team you shouldn’t want your teams to be at this conflict stage which will affect the progress of the project.
Levasseur, R. E. (2011), “depicts the connection between storming (S) and performing (P) discovered by John and Mannix, which is that P is moderate or high only if S is low. Note that the shape of the curve follows the 80–20 rule, as my experience in working with groups
as an organization development (OD) consultant suggests, thus showing that even relatively moderate levels of conflict (storming) prevent a group from performing effectively. Tuckman’s model of group development acknowledges the critical role of norming as an intervening variable between storming and performing.
Conflict is defined as a disagreement among group members where an individual or a group interferes in the attempts of other individual or a group (Robey et al., 1989). Conflicts can occur among team members or among different project teams within an organization.
According to Jiang et al, 2014 Conflict Management is defined as “the ability of the team to reach agreements among members”. Conflict resolution is obtained when all the members display a positive attitude, resolve their differences and settle on a mutual agreement (André, 2018)
