Criteria for Selecting Group Members

In order to come up with an effective team, there are various mechanisms that will be utilized to select the group members. First, the size of the team will be determined in order to understand the number of members required. In as much as the team size may ideally evolve into a self-managed unit, having a very large number of participants may make the initial stages complex. In ideal situations, a group that is composed of six to ten people is better able to offer an ideal size for actualizing the entire program. Comment by Tamara Batiste-Locke: You refer to the group as a team and I wonder if this is a component of your group dynamic? If so, I’d like to hear more about it. Maybe you can integrate it into the next group design part where you go through the first two sessions?

Group history and morale will be another factor that will be taken into account when selecting members. In the process, we will seek to understand whether the units have a background of successful compliance to time, goals, as well as targets. Furthermore, the internal morale sill influences the selection criteria in the sense that supervisors and managers who will be included in the team must have positive working relationship and a sense of mutual respect for all team members who form part of the group.

Another important issue that will be taken into consideration when selecting team members is diversity and inclusivity. This means that the group must reflect cultural, racial, ethnic, as well as gender balance in the list of members. Diversity and multiculturalism creates a positive climate for sharing ideas and creativity in order to improve the general performance of the entire group. Moreover, each group member will be inclined to generalist to presume duties and responsibilities that are outside the scope of his or her existing job description. In order to make this issue simpler and attainable, a thorough background check of the team members will be conducted with the view of assessing whether they have varied skills. Furthermore, they must chow interest and readiness to broaden their capabilities when seeking to undertake their current jobs and tasks.

Finally, there are various levels of competencies that will be investigated in all the team members before determining whether they will form part of the group. For instance, transportable competencies will be preferred. They are areas of competencies that fit various tasks and team situations. Task compete4ncies will also be investigated. They are areas of competencies that are associated with specific tasks that may be needed for the group job, irrespective of the type of team that the individual will be serving.

FEEDBACK

Thanks for your submission, James. The purpose of this week’s assignment was to develop the next step of your Group Design project. The goal was for you to design a brochure that would sell your proposed group (from Week 2) to potential clients and develop a set of screening questions that would help you identify clients that would be the best fit for your group. You also had a goal to discuss your criteria and how the screening questions would draw out that information. Your brochure is great. Your screening questions and discussion were nicely done. You provided some targeting questions to really get a feel for your clients. I liked your brochure, also.Your content makes it clear what audience you are addressing and what your group can do for them. I made a couple of comments regarding the way you presented a couple of pieces of information. Please review and incorporate any changes to be submitted in the final project due in Week 7. Overall, great job!
