Networking: A key to successful Teamwork

Team Boundaries

For every team in the organization, there exist some boundaries that make the difference between the team and other parts of the organization (Somech & Khalaili, 2014). According to Thompson, team boundaries are identifiable constraints that make the one workgroup of the organization from another (Thompson, 2014). If the boundaries are open they may lose identity or if the boundaries are absolute this may lead to making the team isolated. Based on this type of boundaries and the how the team behaves with these boundaries team are classified into majorly four types. Insulating team it is fully isolated from the other parts of the organization, broadcasting team here team members do their work and let the other or external members know when they complete the work. And Market teams try to attract the customers to the organization and survey team tries to solve the needs of the customer. These four teams have some competitive trade-off in an organization. Where an insulating team doesn’t tend to compromise on the objectives and goals of the organization but is less connected with the outsiders. This connection with outsiders can be done by the marketing team and satisfying the customer needs will be done by the surveying team (Thompson, 2014). This trade-off in the teams makes the organization to work in a smoother way.

Team Roles

In a team, different members are present to perform a specific operation on the team. For this team, roles are assigned to the members of the team. With this specific mix of the roles, each team will have a unique team innovation and climate. From the different team roles suggested by the Belbin’s methodology, implementers and team workers are the roles that play a crucial part in the team. Implementers are the people responsible to plan a process to work a strategy and also carries it out as efficiently as possible (Mostert, 2015). They work with utmost discipline. So, Implementer will be the potential role that stands as the backbone of the team.

Discussion 1.2: Networking: A key to successful Teamwork

Part A

Teams are a crucial part of the organization as they are considered a primary source for achieving the goals and objectives of the organization. According to Ilgen (1999), the main challenges that the teams face are poor leadership, complex teams, extremely diverse, and not skilled enough workers. Most of the teams work in an adaptive and dynamic environment. This environment is often complex and comprises of multiple variables at the same time. teams help the organization in achieving the organizational goals through internal interactions and also through interactions with the other units of the organizations. For this purpose, the teams require boundaries. Team boundaries help the teams to have a clear focus on the goals and have a clear sense of direction on accomplishing them. According to Alderfer (1977), team boundaries differentiate one group from another and affect knowledge transfer and distribution of resources. In some cases, boundaries are well defined, but in other cases, boundaries are more ambiguous. If the boundary becomes too open or indistinct, the team risks becoming overwhelmed and losing its identity. If its boundary is too exclusive, the team might become isolated and lose touch with the suppliers, managers, peers, or customers. The five types of teams as mentioned by Thompson (2014) are as follows: insulating teams, broadcasting teams, marketing teams, surveying teams, and X-teams. Each of these teams serves a specific purpose with the organization. Since these teams often require to interact with one another internally and externally, there always occurs a trade-off between the internal cohesion and external ties. However, the degree of the trade-off often depends on what teams are in play.

Part B

Thompson had identified the following types of roles that the team members play in an organization: boundary spanner, lobbyist, negotiator, spokesperson, gatekeeper, bufferer, interpreter, advisor, strategist, and coordinator. I believe I play the role of the negotiator since at times a team requires resources from people who are not ready to provide and a conflict occurs. A negotiator is a person who deals with such conflicts in order to get what the team requires.

Engaged Learning Project Portfolio Please include the following documents in your portfolio in the following order:

1. Cover Page—Your Name, Organization Name

2. Table of Contents

3. List of 5 Types of Health Organizations (ranked by preference) and the names of all of the organizations that you contacted to inquire about shadowing.

4. Shadow Experience Report

a. Organization name and brief description of the organization (e.g., what does the organization do? How are they connected to “health”? What audiences/groups do they serve? What is their mission? Goals? etc.)

b. Shadow Experience Description. Explain what you did during your shadowing experience. What tasks did you observe/complete? What did you learn about the organization and position during your observations? Give examples of tasks/duties that you completed (or observed) so readers can get a clear sense of your experience and the position that you shadowed. Make sure it is clear how the position is connected to “health”.

c. List of Interview Questions and written summary of responses. Include your list of interview questions that you prepared prior to your shadowing experience. Then, summarize the employee’s answers to your questions and in the summary incorporate at least 4 course concepts as they apply to the employee’s responses. The summary must be in essay form (minus an introduction and conclusion). All concepts must be underlined and defined prior to explaining how they reflect the interviewee’s responses.

d. Personal Reflection Essay: Provide a written reflection of your shadowing experience complete with course concept application (you are required to apply at least 4 course concepts in your reflection essay as they relate to your experience—these concepts must be different from those you discussed in your interview summary).

In your reflection explain what you learned through this learning experience about health communication and working in the health field. Discuss both challenging and rewarding experiences that you think that you could have working in this type of position/organization. What did you learn in your short shadowing experience that will better prepare you for a professional life outside the university (regardless if you choose a health related field). What transferable communication skills did you observe during this experience that you feel will be useful in a future career? 5. Thank You Note: Send a thank you note to the employee that you shadowed and include a copy of the thank you note in your portfolio.

Create a program with a concurrent server using TCP that can handle multiple requests to sort an array of twenty randomly generated words using mergesort that are submitted to the server by each of the clients. The arrays should be created and stored on the clients in a separate input file called “clientn.inputdat”, where n is the client number before starting the program itself. Each input file must have at least three lines with different arrays. At least three clients should be used on at least 2 separate hosts. The clients should be able to read the array from the file and then send it to the server. You should use multiprocessing, not multithreading, on the server. The server must be able to read the file, call mergesort, find the resulting sorted array, and return the sorted resulting array to the client. The client should then print out the result on the terminal. After all arrays in the input file have been sorted correctly, the program should close its connection with the server and exit the program. Be sure to use a waitpid () system call before exiting the server after all of the clients have been serviced so that no zombies are left when the server leaves. You will need to use such commands as fork(), accept () and waitpid ( ). Write the program in C or Python in Linux.
