There are plenty of valuable resources within a team. When I would think of team resources
in the past I would usually only think of the tangible resources. I would think of things like
money, computers, accessories. etc. While those resources are valuable in their own right, I
think some of the most valuable resources are intangible. Those resources are things like
knowledge and creativity.
When determining who should be responsible for how (tangible) resources are used you
have to consider what type of team it is and what the goals are. For example, in the team I
am apart of everyone has a role and we just so happen to have a resource officer. Her role
within the team is to make sure we have everything we need to complete our projects. If we
have supplies that need to be ordered, invoices that need to be paid, etc., we go to her and it
is her job to make sure it gets done. This may not be possible for every team, so I think it is
important to decide this in the forming stage of creating teams, so the members know who is
responsible for what and who they need to go to for help.
I believe the availability of resources, or lack thereof, can definitely can the dynamics of a
team. If one member feels someone is getting more resources or help, it can cause tension or
feelings of animosity, which is why resource management is so important.
Some of the most important project management skills needed to keep a team on track
include things like: time management, communication, collaboration, and resource
management, to name a few. If I had to rate my level of proficiency with these skills using a
scale of 1 through 10 I would say 7. I feel confident in my abilities but could always
improve.
To me the most valuable resource within a team are your team members. Next to that would
have to be the communication between the team members. Without communication then
there is no team. I feel that determining how resources are used should be the responsibility
of every member of the team. Then at that rate everyone knows what is going on within the
team. Then all team members can be on the same page. One change that could affect the
dynamic of the team would be if a member did not show up for work or decided not to
complete their portion of the project. That is where the communication comes in to play in
the team. If the communication breaks down and the team does not know that another team
member is not doing their job, then they will not know that they have to pickup the slack.
Keeping the communication within the team is key to keep the team on track to completing
their goals. I have great communication skills therefore I would excel at keeping the
communication within my team up. I believe the most valuable resources within a team are
the team members themselves and the communication within said team. The depth each
team member can bring to the table is very valuable. Then having the ability to communicate
becomes key for the team use their own resources.
Determining how team resources are used should be determined by the team as a whole
under the direction and guidance of the team leader. I believe this responsibility ultimately
falls under the team as a whole.
Any changes made to to availability of the team can be detrimental to the team. It is no
different than a link in a chain failing. The chain becomes as strong as its weakest link.
Having the ability to collaborate effectively within your team, the ability to communicate,
and having a positive attitude is the most important project management and planning skills
needed to keep a team on track toward its goals. I would rate my level of proficiency with
these skills at a7.5-8.0. I have a lot of management experience but I also know there is
always room for improvement. I think the most valuable resources with in a team I would
have to say communication. I think the leader of the team should be responsible for
determining how team resources are used. Changes to the availability of resources affect
team dynamics by making the team struggle since not all the recourses are availability may
not be the ones we need. The most important project management and planning skills needed
to keep a team on track towards its goals would have to have to be to set a timeline to have
the project done by. I would rate my level of proficiency with these skills would be a five
out of ten. In my opinion, the most valuable resources within a team are communication and
leadership. With the right leader who knows how to communicate, I have witnessed the most
questionable teams succeed. In the logistics industry you constantly have to work as a team
to achieve the best results. Overall, the team-leader should have the final determination of
how team resources are utilized. A good leader will listen to their team and consider all
perspectives when making decisions. It is a necessity to consider all input shared and utilize
experience they have. Changes would depend on whether the resources became less than
what was needed or more than they need. If resources available are not enough, team
members could begin to feel the stress, helplessness, or unmotivated from not getting what
they need to be successful.I would say communication and problem solving are the most
important skills to have when planning a project. In my last position my job was project
managing and leading numerous teams to success. I would say I am highly proficient at
these skills. I listen, make sound decisions, and communicate well with my teams. The most
valuable resources within a team is to be sure you have all the supplies needed to effectively
do your task, have good leadership to be able to talk with about any frustrating or things
they like, and the team members themselves. I feel that every team member should be
responsible for determining how team resources are used. After all it is called a team for a
reason. Changes to the availability of resources can affect team dynamics by the lack of
resources it could cause for things to be late due to not having what is needed to finish the
task also with having tasks not turned in on time can cause failure in the team. The most
important project management and planning skills needed to keep a team on track towards
its goals is to prioritize tasks, come up with a checklist with each task, effective
communication, and critical thinking. How I would rate my level of proficiency with these
skills would be proficient. I am aware of what these skills and can use them but would not
say I was an expert. I believe that the most valuable resources within the team are the team
members themselves. The reason being is because each team member is different and unique
in their own ways and that can add valuable assets to being a team. Communication is the
most important resource that needs to utilized in a team because it will help to bring the
team to one accord. As far as determining who is responsible for utilizing these resources I
believe that each team member can be held accountable because even though we are a team
we each have our own personalities and traits that can help us understand how to function as
a team. With that being said, I believe that with this many personalities and traits there
should be a person in charge of utilizing them and making sure that each resource can be
used for the good of the team. The most important management skills needed to keep the
team on track are effective communication and critical thinking. Effective communication is
essential to help the team function because it can help set the tone and directions to what
needed to achieve as a team. Critical thinking is an added skill because in order to
communicate well with another team member you have to think about how and when to
communicate effectively. I believe the most valuable resource that is within a team is the
minds of the team members and effective communication. Learning to brainstorm within a
team is a really good way of seeing things someone else might not have seen. Also, being
able to effectively communicate will help and cause less confusion or misunderstandings
within the team. The availability of resources can change team dynamics due to someone not
pulling their weight of the team, mismanaging, or unforeseen circumstances. I believe
everyone should be able to have an input on how resources are being used, however, I do
believe there should be someone responsible who oversees how resources are coming in and
how they are being used. The most important management and planning skills would
definitely be communication. Effective communication within a team can really help keep
everyone on the same page and prevent unnecessary mishaps. I am pretty good with
communication, however, I do have moments where I just don't like to talk, so I do not voice
my opinion as often as I should. I am learning to use my voice as well as be more adaptable
to changes. In my opinion I believe the most valuable resource within a team are the team
members, communication, and trust. I think either the leader or who organized the team
should be responsible for how resource are used within a team as well as the team members
too. When the avaibalitily of resources change it can have a impact on the team by causing
the team to fall short of their goal. The most important project managing and planning skills
needed to to keep a team on track is communication as well. I feel like communication is
such a strong factor when it comes to being a part of a team because of you don’t
communicate everyone will be on different pages and it can take much longer to achieve the
goal as a team. My level of proficiency with these skills I would say are in the middle. I feel
like I don’t always communicate the point I am trying to make or voice my opinion at times.
I definitely feel like I can work on my communication skills a little more to be a great asset
to teams I am apart of in the future. I initially wanted to state that communication is the most
valuable resource. After further thought i have decided that along with communication,
development and advancement are also valuable resources. I feel these all go hand in hand.
Communicating with your team and understanding what it is they need in a company.
Understanding what it is that drive them! I would say that advancement will always drive a
team. The fact that you are working towards something bigger and greater than you is a
push! Developing a team that already has so much potential would most likely lead to a
great payoff in the end.I feel as if the entire unit should be responsible for determining how
to use the resources, to an extent! They don't ultimately have to have the final decision, but
their voice should definitely be heard. Altering or changing certain resources can change the
dynamic in a positive or a negative way. Good thing is you can tweak it as you go.If your
team is working on a project i think it is key to be realistic on the time you have. Don't bite
off more than you can chew. Give out tasks logically. If Karen is a guru at a specific task,
make sure she is given that task. Keep every one in mind at all times. Check in on the tasks
at hand and keep moving forward toward the desired goal. My skills in this are always to be
resilient and don't expect perfection. Learn from my past mistakes and continue to work
toward the desired goal! I believe each and every day will be different, so being able to
adapt and use these resources when necessary is a confidence builder for me. I believe the
most valuable resources within a team is the team members. Each member has a
responsibility that brings function and efficiency to the team. They may also have
experience different from yours and other members that can be utilized to reach a goal
and/or objective. Responsibility of resources used within the team should be organized by a
project manager or resource manager, which is different than a coordinator. Lack of
properly managing these recourses can cause productivity, time, money and valuable
experience. Therefore, resource/team manager should be confident and clearly state what
their responsibilities are. They should be able to clearly communicate in a timely manner so
that everyone is on board with time sensitive materials. Most importantly, the manager
should make sure that everyone is clear on the objective or goal of the project. People who
see great leadership tend to hold their part in the group and complete their tasks. They also
continue to work if they are being held accountable for their part of the work. I personally
am extremely proficient in these skills because of the importance of my job. Although
developing these skills took time to develop, I continue to listen to team members and
improve. What I find to be the most valuable sources within a team is communication and
effective work ethic. Reason being you want to be able to understand the goals and perform
them effectively. Conversations between coworkers should be able to be had and work
performance together to follow.In most teams you have a secretary or at least someone that
keeps the books. I would make implementing the resources for the team apart of that
person’s role. It seems more beneficial seeing how that person already has all the
information documented. The availability of resources affect team dynamics when deadlines
are to be met but its hard if you have workers calling off work or just simply didn’t have
their part of the team project completed at the deadline. Important project management and
planning skills needed to keep a team on track towards its goal would be leadership,
communication, and risk management to name a few. I would rate my proficiency level of
leadership a 10 out of 10. I would rate my proficiency level of communication 10 out of 10.
I would rate my proficiency in risk management to be 6 out of 10. The most valuable
resources are each team member: knowledge, skill, determination, willingness to learn,
attitude. These resources make a team member very valuable to the team dynamics and
morale, and these make getting to the team goal faster and more efficient. I think the team
leader should be responsible to assign resources that should be used and where, after team
collaboration. I think the ability to do this job well is what makes someone a successful team
leader. In doing so the team leader also makes the team successful. Changes to the
availability of resources both more or less can affect the team in multiple ways such as
Productivity, and efficiency, of both the individuals and the team as a whole. This is why
everyone on the team needs to try to be able to adapt to change quickly. Team collaboration,
individual compromise, communication, and problem-solving skills are very important to
keep a team on track towards the goal. I believe I am pretty proficient in these skills, I
believe they are some of my greatest qualities. I think that the most valuable resource within
team is encouragement. We are all human and I believe that we all fall short sometimes
when it comes to completing certain task, rather it's by yourself or being involved in a team.
Encouragement goes a long way. Being part of a team and being a good teammate requires
pushing your team mates, encouraging them when they make a mistake and always being
there for them. In every team there is one person who takes the lead and takes responsibility
of their team. I think the most well rounded persons should be the person to decide how the
team's resources are used. Changes in the availability of resources can change a team's
dynamic depending on the certain resource that is limited. Being in a team, resources should
always be be present and not limited. Lack of resources can change the way the team
functions and also change the relationship between certain team members. The most
important planning skills to keep a team on track is to always set a reasonable goal. Within
a team.. every person should know their weaknesses and strengthens, as well as their mates.
Never set a goal that seems unreasonable or too hard to reach within the team that you have
created. Find what works best within your team. Communication and a positive attitude is a
huge step when working in a group. I rate myself a 10. I always try to have a clear head and
positive attitude where ever I go. The most valuable resources within a team are the team-
mates, the people that the team is made of. I feel it is best to discuss resources with everyone
on the team. Get the team involved taking inventory, like the teacher in the video did with
her family when Covid lockdown started. She said her family and household took inventory
of what they had, and they talked about their needs.I would want to communicate clearly
and concisely, and take a consensus with my team about how we manage resources. It is
possible there are pre-existing protocol guidelines that are traditionally used within a
particular team. There could be past inventories and other resources that you could use as
guidelines for needs and how-to's. It is also possible that there could be an individual who is
delegated to the task of managing resources.Changes to resource availability can affect team
dynamics in various ways. If you suddenly have more resources, that would be much
different than If you suddenly have fewer resources. Team dynamics could change in
different ways, depending on which resource we have in mind. Whether you have more or
fewer resources, and regardless of the type of resource, the changes will certainly include
more clear communication and collaboration .Let's say you are serving lunch with a food
service team and you have only three pens, but you have four servers. One server will need
to go buy or borrow more pens, or two servers will need to figure out how to share one pen.
In this case, that is my opinion. I have not discussed the pen deficiency with the rest of the
team yet. Communicating with the team and a general consensus of the plan, with majority
approval, would be my next step. (e.g.. "What do you guys think? Do we need to get more
pens?" "No, we can text the cooks the orders with our smartphones.").The most important
project management and planning skills needed to keep a team on track toward its goals are
clear and concise communication, positive attitude, and willingness to collaborate. I rate my
level of proficiency with these skills a 7.5 on a scale of 1-10.
