Importance of Team Development
Because the team development is one of the most important parts in the
group and without it the group will not succeed at all. The company or
organization wants the effective teams because the effective team works hard
and more powerful than the weak team. So, the team development must be
effective. Real examples can be mentioned when King Abdulaziz make a
strong team for the opening of Saudi Arabia and standardization. (1)
Effective Training Principles
The first principle is Teams and team development is about results, and the
second is Know what you are trying to build. The third is Team development
is process, not an event. The fourth is Just in time is the best time for training.
The fifth is Development must be a felt need of the team. The sixth is Team
development demands a safe environment. The seventh is Use the work of
the team to build the team. The eighth is There are no shortcuts to team
effectiveness. The ninth is Willingness precedes skill and the last one is Team
leaders need a head start. (2)
Example: Chairman Prince Saud bin thunayan/SABIC.
Stages in Team Development
The first one is Forming: a group of people comes together to
accomplish a shared purpose. The second is Storming: Disagreement about
mission, vision and approaches combined with the fact that team members are
getting to know each other can cause strained relationships and conflict. The
third is Norming: The team has consciously or unconsciously formed working
relationships that are enabling progress on the team’s objectives. The fourth is
Performing: Relationships, team processes, and the team’s effectiveness in
working on its objectives are synching to bring about a successfully functioning
team.
Finally Transforming: The team is performing so well that members believe it
is the most successful team they have experienced. (3)
Real example: Dr. / Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabiah, Minister of Health.
Communication in Teams
How teams communicate:
When you communicate effectively with your team it eliminates confusion and
can foster a healthy and happy workplace. Effective communication with your
team will also allow you to get work done more quickly and efficiently. As the
business owner, it's your responsibility to rectify any communication problems
with your workers. Once you get the lines of communication open with your
team, the process of completing tasks and projects will probably go by much
more smoothly. (4)
Why communication is so important in effective teams:
Communication processes for the team that works effectively will increase the
motivation and confidence and respect between members and improve the
decision-making processes dramatically improves the performance of the
team. The communication processes inefficient they reduce motivation when
members and ease of commitment among the team.
Real example: Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz, Minister of Interior. (5)
Team Learning
Teams can learn by Questioning, Valuing Diversity, Communicating and
Learning Review. (6)

team captain led to certain conditions. This team can take over many tasks to
accomplish, including health, trade and so on. Without learning team cannot
be done any work
