GROUP 2
Derek Yach, senior vice president for global health policy
at PepsiCo, is assembling a team of “idealistic scientists
to find alternatives to Doritos.”These physicians and
researchers with doctorate degrees, many of whom have
built their reputations at places like the Mayo Clinic, the
World Health Organization, and like-minded organizations,
are tasked with creating healthier options by “making the
bad stuff less bad.” (p. 367)
Suppose that you were put in charge of
this elite team. How would you lead it?
THE CASE STUDY:
Structured around GROUP EFFORT
Have group LEADERS and STATUS
Have each group be designed a specific TASK. (I.E: Health Statistics, Differences in Doritos versus other chips, etc)
Give each group a different set of goals
Use GROUP DECISION MAKING for all the decisions we make
Group SIZE affects performance and satisfaction
Small groups are faster at completing tasks than are larger ones
Work will be decided on together
Mostly using TASK GROUPS - groups will have a specific job.
We will then have CROSS-FUNCTIONING TEAMS - we will bring together skills and research from all the groups and have discussion on each days developments
We will EVALUATE the research and developments of the day to make SPECIFIC PLANS for the next day
Have a DISCUSSION with each team at the end of the day to see what they
struggled with.
performance and satisfaction
TEAMWORK
Group 1:
Find which ingredients are causing the most harm in the human body
Identify the decision criteria of ingredients and allocate weights to the criteria
Find out what is the most harmful aspects of doritos
Group 2
Find and develop alternative ingredients to replace the most problematic ingredients and then analyze it.
Focus Specifically on: lowering calories, fat content, carbs, and sodium without diminishing the taste.
Group 3
Decipher and analyze the information from the first two groups
Select alternatives and implement those for evaluation
What Would Our Groups Do?
What did you accomplish?
What are the health benefits of any current developments?
What changes need to be made?
How can we execute those changes in a proficient manner?
What could we do differently tomorrow to make sure that we are working efficiently?
Is your team working well together? why or why not?
END OF THE DAY QUESTIONS?
Group: two or more interacting interdependent individuals who come together to achieve specific goals
Leaders: someone who can influence others and who has managerial authority
Status: a prestige grading, position, or rank within a group
Task: work that is done or undertaken
Group Decision Making: individuals collectively make a choice from the alternatives before them
Size: affects performance and satisfaction, but the effect depends on what the group is supposed to accomplish. Research indicates, for instance, that small groups are faster at completing tasks than are larger ones
Task - Groups: groups composed of individuals brought together to complete a specific job or task- their existence is often temporary because when the task is completed, the group disbands
Cross Functioning teams: groups that bring together the knowledge and skills of individuals from various work areas or groups whose members have been trained to do each others’ jobs.
Specific Plans: plans that are clearly defined and leave no room for interpretation
Evaluate: form an idea of the amount, number, or value of
Discussion: the act of talking about something with another person or a group of people
Golden Terms
Are there any terms that were new to you?
Would you guys handle the situation differently than any of our group members did?
