Ideal Team

4 hours ago

In any successful business, organizations attempt to build teams that will help and produce profit the business in the most positive manner. If I were to build that successful team, I would do my best to make sure the group is highly diverse yet still agree on the same core values that the company believes in as well. This would make tasks easier due to everyone works towards and for the same goal. Not only would I want the group members to have high conscientiousness meaning, being "disciplined and able to keep commitments," (Robbins & Judge, 2017, p. 383) but I would also want the team members to all have mass background work experience. Both of these characteristics are key into building a dream team due to the fact that they go hand in hand with one another. Based on the study from the Academic Journal of Management, I would also want team members who have a proactive personality. This is due to their results, "direct effects of proactive personality and future temporal focus on both types of proactive behavior, a direct effect of career self-efficacy on career-oriented proactive behavior, and direct effects of role breadth self-efficacy and pro-social motivation on work unit–oriented proactive behavior,

(Chia--Huei, Parker, Long-Zeng, & Lee, 2018, p. 303). Subsequently, if I could chose one team-member I would work most productively with, that person would be similar to me but different in ways that could bring extremely different ideas or solutions to the table. I would also like them to have high work experience because they may have experienced and learned from a situation that I have never encounter. I would also like them to be an extrovert in contrary to me being an introvert in the work place. This could help the company by having a team where we could have different viewpoints but still agree and conclude with a conjoined solution.

Perfect dream team

Proactive people are a key factor in a group. People who are active and engaged tend to perform better in a group environment. Motivation is a side effect of proactive groups. Motivation keeps people on track and focused on any project that needs to be accomplished. Proactive, motivated people enjoy the task that needs accomplished, by keeping a timely manner. While being proactive and motivated at the same time can cause groups and its members to have very diverse personalities (Chia--Huei, W., Parker, S. K., Long-Zeng, W., & Lee, C. 2018). Creative people can flourish in this setting as they will be energized and guided by other group members who are detailed and organized and detailed organized members can thrive off creative members. An equal balance of these traits can create an ideal group. I believe that high levels of conscientiousness and moderate work experience can and will keep a group organized, as well as fresh and innovative.

My ideal group member is someone who is highly conscientiousness of the task in front of them. Even with being highly conscientiousness, a person cannot be too narrow minded and has to acknowledge any new ideas that are conventional or not. Being 50% open to experience can cause a well-rounded person, who is not bias or judgmental, which can cause a rift in a group that feels threatened or overpowered. This ideal group member is a key stone in keeping a group motivated and proactive for the greater goal of the group.
