Your team is your business\u2019s most valuable asset.<\/strong><\/p>\n But there’s more to a successful team than simply grouping a bunch of people together and expecting them to deliver quality results.<\/strong><\/p>\n For your team to be truly effective, not only does each member have to possess the necessary skills, qualities, and characteristics that can contribute to the team’s prosperity, but they all have to be able to work together\u2014as a team if you will.<\/strong><\/p>\n In this article, we’ll show you why these team effectiveness models are so popular and how you can use them with your team.<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are some of the things you’ll learn from this article:<\/p>\n The following models can help to measure team effectiveness in your company.<\/p>\n The <\/span>GRPI model<\/span><\/a> stands for goals, roles, procedures, and interpersonal relationships. As one of the oldest models for team effectiveness, it was first introduced by Richard Beckhard in 1972 to help with understanding team behaviour. It was then made popular in 1977 by doctors Irwin Rubin, Mark Plovnick, and Ronald Fry.<\/span><\/p>\n The model consists of four components:<\/span><\/p>\n Goals<\/b>: Teams must have clear objectives and desired accomplishments in order to be effective. Without evident direction, it can lead to disputes and disagreements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Roles<\/b>: Each and every team member is required to know their responsibilities, authority, and what they\u2019re accountable for. Not knowing this can also lead to conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n Procedures<\/b>: There have to be set processes in place in order for the team to operate successfully. This includes, but isn\u2019t limited to, decision-making methods, workflow procedures, conflict resolution strategies, and communication best practices.<\/span><\/p>\n Interpersonal relationships<\/b>: It\u2019s crucial for team members to develop relationships with one another that are based on trust, good communication, and adaptability.<\/span><\/p>\n Best suited for<\/b>: Teams who have lost their direction and need to find their way back into the swing of things.<\/span><\/p>\n Bruce Tuckman<\/span><\/a> introduced the <\/span>Forming-Storming-Norming-Performing (FNSP)<\/span><\/a> model in 1965. It is made up of four sequential stages in group development, from the first time the team meet to the completion of the project.<\/span>\u00a0In 1977, along with Mary Ann Jensen, he added a fifth stage, Adjourning.<\/span><\/p>\n The stages required to achieve team effectiveness are:<\/p>\n Best suited for<\/b>: People who want to understand the various stages that make up team development within group projects.<\/span><\/p>\n Jon Katzenbach and Douglas Smith developed this team effectiveness model in 1993 after studying various teams who were experiencing challenges in their work environments.<\/span><\/p>\n They <\/span>define<\/span><\/a> a team as \u201ca small group of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they are mutually accountable.\u201d The model suggests that there are five levels of teamwork:<\/span><\/p>\n Their model showcases effective teams in a triangular diagram with the potential three outcomes (and what teams should strive for) as the three points: collective work products, personal growth, and performance results.<\/span><\/p>\n To get there, they must work on the following three-team effectiveness factors, which make up the sides of the triangle:<\/span><\/p>\n Best suited for<\/b>: Teams with members who are finding it difficult to transition from an individual working mindset to a team working mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n In their version of a team effectiveness model, Dr. Frank LaFasto and Carl Larson studied 6,00o team members and leaders across various industries and organizations in 2001 to come up with the elements of an effective team.<\/span><\/p>\n
