The potential effectiveness of a team-based approach in an organization is clear. However, achieving the best results in team-based approaches is also a challenge due to, for example, poor team dynamics, lack of harmony within the team, etc. Moving to a team approach in an organization is therefore a decision that requires a lot of planning and analysis before implementation. Usually, the decision to move to a team-based approach should be accompanied by training sessions for team members to improve their team dynamics, harmony and align their individual interests with those of the team and the organization in general. For example, unlike individual training, team training requires assessments to identify interdependencies among team members and determine the cognitive skills and knowledge necessary for members to successfully interact as a team (Weiner, Schmitt and Highhouse, 2012). However, training is usually not simple and some problems usually arise requiring a calculated approach to training by the training manager. Many agencies, across all sectors, generally have individual-based approaches to working, as results depend on the personality and determination of each agent. However, this does not mean that agencies cannot implement team-based structures. The shift to team-based approaches in agencies is, however, likely to lead to multiple problems with team integration and motivation of individual members initially accustomed to working alone. These are problems that are likely to arise during team formation, which is one of the first phases of introducing team-based approaches and a phase in which members are still usually in denial and in crisis during the shift. .. middle of paper ......... » To align members' interests with a common goal, any topic (author's choice) 5 Nilson argues that team learning designers must ensure that team learners are guided by an organizational goal or mission. and not by a narrow “training objective” or personal ambitions, such as being the most successful agent. The organizational goals of teams are typically stated in terms of service, quality, innovation, and improved processes. In general, to overcome most of these problems, team-based approaches, as Swanepoel (2008) argues, require more effort and resources. , among other things, communication and the development of a shared mindset about team goals and standards. Additionally, emphasis should be placed on training and retraining of work-related technical skills as well as social skills related to work and team functioning.References
