Planning your learning
It is important to plan your learning before you start because you may already have some of the knowledge and skills that are covered in this Learner’s Guide. This might be because:
• you have been working in the industry for some time, and/or
• you have already completed training in this area.
Together with your supervisor or trainer use the checklists on the following pages to help you plan your study program. Your answers to the questions in the checklist will help you work out which sections of this Learner’s Guide you need to complete.
This Learner’s Guide is written with the idea that learning is made more relevant when you, the learner, are actually working in the industry. This means that you will have people within the enterprise who can show you things, discuss how things are done and answer any questions you have. Also you can practise what you learn and see how what you learn is applied in the enterprise.
If you are working through this Learner’s Guide and have not yet found a job in the industry, you will need to talk to your trainer about doing work experience or working and learning in some sort of simulated workplace.

What is a work team?
Work teams are groups of people who work together towards the same goals and objectives. These goals and objectives could be to:
• reduce workplace accidents and incidents
• reduce the number of quality problems
• increase customer satisfaction
• solve a particular workplace problem.
Some work teams stay together for a long period of time (e.g. the sales team) while others are formed to deal with one specific issue or problem.
Work teams are often used to increase the effectiveness of a business and to quickly solve workplace problems as they happen.
The most effective teams:
• are made up of three or more people
• are made up of people who have different skills and interests
• are made up of people who trust each other
• are made up of people who support each other
• are made up of people who know their jobs, have the skill to do them well and are committed to their team
• are made up of people who resolve their differences in a constructive manner
• are formed because of a clear goal or objective that all members of the team are aware of.
Team goals
Before a team can achieve anything, it needs a clear vision of where it is going and how it is going to get there. Team goals are a clear statement of the results the team is working to achieve.
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
Page 12 © Australian National Training Authority 2003 ADELG1039 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008
What are objectives and goals?
A team’s objectives or goals are public statements of what they are working together to achieve.
Team goals are important because goals:
• give the team a purpose
• act as ‘signposts’ during the life of the team
• help the team know that it is on the right track and is actually doing the things it should be doing?
• help to build the team’s sense of accomplishment
• You have not doubt heard people saying things like, “I have no idea what’s going on.” This doesn’t often happen to teams that have clear goals. The goals are determined by the team and therefore having meaning to each and every team member.
Why do teams fail to set goals?
You have already learned that a team needs to know where it is heading and determine how to get there. Without goals, how will we know if we are successful or our efforts are useful? Here are a number of different reasons why teams fail to set goals:
• because we are too busy
• because we’ve tried it in the past and it didn’t work
• because we simply don’t see the point.
Too busy to set goals
It is very easy for people to say that they are too busy getting things done to work out what needs to be done. But this sort of attitude usually only leads to people feeling effective and busy. Without goals it is all too easy to do things that are not really priorities.
Goal setting hasn’t worked in the past
Failure is one of the greatest demotivators. Failing to achieve something can lead to discouragement and eventually stopping what it was you were trying to achieve. Often teams will set goals and head off in the right direction but over-‐enthusiasm, individual team
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group

member’s personal goals or ‘bright ideas’ may get in the way of proper planning and reduce the team’s ability to actually achieve their goals.
What’s the point of setting goals?
Many teams go about their day to day life in a way that they feel comfortable with. Goals often encourage teams to take calculated risks.
SMART goals
If your team wants to be effective you need to set SMART goals.
That is, goals that are:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Realistic
• Time-‐oriented.
Specific
For each goal, your team should be able to describe exactly what it wants to achieve.
Measurable
For each goal, your team should be able to know when the goal has been achieved.
Achievable
Goals should be challenging but achievable.
Realistic
At times teams set goals that are really beyond their reach or abilities. While it is a good idea to challenge the team, your goals should be realistic.
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
Page 14 © Australian National Training Authority 2003 ADELG1039 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008
Time-oriented
For each goal, set a time when that goal should be met.

Team players
A team can only be successful if every member of the team is a team player.
Team behaviour
Research carried out in the area of ‘Team Development’ shows that teams grow and develop and in doing so they go through several different stages. There are a number of different models that can be used to assess what stage your team is at; one of them is Tuckman’s Model.
Tuckman’s Model lists the following four stages of team development:
• forming
• storming
• norming
• performing.
Forming
When a team begins, team members are not always sure of what is expected of them individually or, in some cases, the team itself. During this stage the team relies heavily on the team leader for guidance.
It is common behaviour for team members to be:
• polite
• formal
• quieter than usual.
If you are the team leader it is useful to give team members an opportunity to:
• get to know each other
• clearly understand the purpose of the team.
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
Page 20 © Australian National Training Authority 2003 ADELG1039 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008
Storming
After the forming stage, team members start to question the goals of the team. They express their opinions and feelings more freely. If you are the team leader it is useful to give team members an opportunity to:
• debate issues
• be open
• give and receive constructive feedback
• handle conflict positively.
Norming
At this stage the team has established the ground rules and agreed on working procedures. Team members will feel comfortable confiding in each other and sharing their problems and feelings.
Performing
The team is well and truly established and operating effectively. Team members have a commitment to team goals and conflicting views are handled positively and constructively.

Group decision making
There are four basic decision-‐making methods:
• unilateral
• minority
• majority
• consensus.
Unilateral decision making
A unilateral decision is a decision that is made by one person in authority. They may make the decision on their own or based on information they have received from others.
An unilateral decision could be made because:
• only the leader has the required information or knowledge to make it
• an emergency situation requires a quick decision
• it may be the decided policy for a certain area of responsibility.
Minority decision making
A minority decision is made by less than half the member of a team.
A minority decision could be made because:
• one team member dictates group discussion
• a team member is supported in their decision by one person and doesn’t check with the rest of the team
• two or three members push a decision through quickly.
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
© Australian National Training Authority 2003 Page 23 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008 ADELG1039
Majority decision making
A majority decision is made by more than half the members of a team.
A majority decision could be made by:
Voting
After discussion, team members vote ‘for’ or ‘against’ an idea.
Polling
After discussion, the team leader may ask if everybody agrees and make a decision based on whether the majority of people do agree with the proposed action.
Consensus decision making
A consensus decision is agreed to by all members of a team, for whatever reason.
A consensus decision could be made because:
• team members influence other team members to get support for the decision (basic consensus)
• all team members are prepared to support the decision, even if all don’t fully agree that it is the right decision to make (basic consensus)
• all team members completely agree that the decision is the right one to make (unanimous consensus).
What decision-making method is the best?
There are number of things that determine the best decision making method.
They include:
• the amount of time available
• how easy it is to get all team members together
• the importance of the decision
• how important it is to gain support for the decision.

Who is the leader?
As a team matures the style of the team leader should change. Team leaders should not dominate the team. In fact, the leadership should shift from member to member, depending on the circumstances. This is because different members possess their own unique set of experiences, skills and knowledge. Sometimes it will be appropriate for different members to assume a leadership role because of their strengths. The team should be focussed on getting the job done, not on who is controlling the team.
It is important to value others
Effective team leaders are generally ‘in tune’ with their team. They are conscious of how the team operates and sensitive to each member’s needs. You may be called on to present information or your opinion to your team. Give your team members an opportunity to seek clarification, build on discussion or present their opinions. Your ability to handle questions can make or break team discussion.
Make sure that you:
• receive all questions (value each and every team member’s input)
• receive all questions in a respectful manner (remain calm even if you are presented with a negative attitude)
• evaluate the relevance of the questions (if the question is not really related to the topic of your discussion, tell your team member that you feel it would be better to deal with his/her question at another time).
• respond to questions in a clear and concise manner (you will break the flow of your presentation and decrease understanding of your message if you give lengthy answers).
Treat everybody equally
Every team member is an individual. They will be different from each other in a number of ways. How you handle your interactions with each member of your team will determine your success as a team member.
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group

The following guidelines should help you manage problem behaviours like:
• argumentative team members
• team members who like the sound of their own voice
• dominant team members
• disruptive team members
• quiet team members.
The argumentative team member
Team members may from time to time appear argumentative.
This may be for a number of reasons, including:
• it is part of their nature
• they are normally good-‐natured but have become upset by others
• they are natural ‘show-‐offs’
• they find it difficult to state suggestions constructively
• they feel their opinions are being ignored.
Dealing with argumentative team members
When dealing with this type of team member:
• control your own temper
• respond to the content of the member’s comments not the style of delivery
• try to find merit in their comment, express your agreement and move on
• try to find out in a non-‐threatening way what is irritating the team member, in private at another time.
Team members who like the sound of their own voice
Some team members may like to share information, regardless of whether they actually have something to contribute. They often share information that has no direct relationship to the task at hand and steer the group ‘off track’.
This may be for a number of reasons, including that they:
• get bored easily
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
© Australian National Training Authority 2003 Page 29 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008 ADELG1039
• like to be involved
• find it difficult to remain silent
• feel stupid if they don’t contribute.
Dealing with team members who like the sound of their own voice
In this situation, you could:
• thank them for their comments when they take a breath
• refocus the team’s attention by rephrasing your last point (e.g: as I was saying ...) and then move on from there
• use the rest of the team to cut a talker off by asking questions like “How does everybody feel about spending more time on this?” or “Does everybody feel we should move on?”
The dominant team member
Dominant team members usually take over. They are often the first person to talk and rarely give other members a chance.
This may be for a number of reasons including that:
• they enjoy an audience
• it is part of their nature to seek attention
• they are very skilled and eager to show it
• they like to be involved
• they find it difficult to remain silent.
Dealing with dominant team members
When you have dominant team members, try to:
• interrupt with statements like “That’s an interesting point, what do the rest of you think about that?”
• give other team members a chance to influence the discussion with statements like “Great point. Can you add to that Linh?”
• seek the team’s opinion of the comments by asking questions like “Does anyone else have a different opinion?” or “I can see your point, can anyone else think of another possibility?” or “Great idea. Victor, given your
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
Page 30 © Australian National Training Authority 2003 ADELG1039 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008
experience with this matter, can you add anything to what Chris has just raised?”
The disruptive team member
Disruptive team members usually hold side conversations with other members. Sometimes they are discussing the same topic or they could be having a completely different conversation. Their behaviour is disruptive.
This may be for a number of reasons, including that they:
• they find it difficult to state suggestions to the group
• they feel their opinions will be ignored by the group
• they are bored
• they get easily distracted.
Dealing with disruptive team members
With this type of team member, try to:
• call the individual’s name, restate the last comment made (by you or another team member) ask for his/her opinion
• as a last resort, ask the whole group to remain focussed on the discussion.
The quiet team member
Quiet team members are team members who rarely contribute and often appear apart from the group.
This may be for a number of reasons, including that they:
• are bored
• are timid and insecure
• come from a culture that doesn’t encourage verbal participation in groups
• feel superior and above the rest of the group
• are annoyed about having to attend.
Dealing with quiet team members
To deal with quiet team members, try to involve them, and:
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
© Australian National Training Authority 2003 Page 31 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008 ADELG1039
• ask for, but do not force, the team member to give their opinion
• maintain eye contact with those who appear shy when you ask a question
• try to find out in a non-‐threatening way the reason why the team member is not contributing such as in private at another time, ask – “Do you feel that you have nothing to contribute?”
• observe the team member outside of team discussions and/or meetings and find out if the person
− sits alone at breaks and meal times?
− appears to have few friends?
− has disrespectful remarks made about them by other group members.
• give the team member an opportunity to succeed (i.e. utilise their knowledge, skills and experiences).

Activity 4: Teamwork
With the help of your trainer and/or supervisor complete the following table.
Date: ............................. Yes No
Do you recognise the benefits of teamwork?
Do you promote team efforts?
Are you more concerned with your individual achievements and getting your own work done than team tasks?
Do you enjoy interacting with others and does this enthusiasm often make you successful in your interactions with people?
Do you practise listening and questioning skills to achieve mutual understanding?
Are you a strong participant in team efforts? (i.e. you don’t prefer to just getting your own work done)
Do you keep quiet when you know you could contribute to team discussions?
Do you communicate confidently and effectively in team meetings?
Do you dominate team discussions?
Do you allow others to dominate team discussions?
Do you display a calm, even temperament in team discussions?
Do you spend most of your time talking and rarely listen?
Do you feel relaxed and confident with your team members?
Do you actively work together with your team members for positive responses to negative situations and/or problems?
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
© Australian National Training Authority 2003 Page 33 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008 ADELG1039
Together with your trainer and/or supervisor look at the questions you answered NO to and determine how you can work on improving your work team communication skills. Set goals and action plans and regularly review these with your trainer and/or supervisor.
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group

Team problem solving
If you are team leader you will regularly be required to guide your team through a problem-‐solving process. As the team leader you are not responsible for controlling the content of discussions. Your role is to maintain the structure of the problem-‐solving process and:
• make sure that the team follows the problem-‐solving steps
• make sure that the team does not leap to solutions before completing the problem-‐solving process
• make sure that each team member’s contributions are included and valued
• make sure that each team member feels valued
• make sure the team remains focussed on its goals.
Problem identification
The following statements only give broad clues about a particular problem:
• the conveyor keeps breaking down
• the parts won’t fit
• the motor won’t start.
A clever technique developed by Japanese car manufacturers is the ‘5 Whys’. Asking the question ‘why’ until you can no longer answer, will certainly uncover some clues.
For example:
The motor won’t start 1. Why?
The engine is not receiving any petrol.
2. Why?
The petrol is not being pumped in.
3. Why?
The pump’s not working.
4. Why?
It’s not receiving power.
5. Why?
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
© Australian National Training Authority 2003 Page 35 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008 ADELG1039
The lead is broken.
Obviously you would need to do some visual checks in between the questions and the answers but using the ‘5 Why’s’ technique helps you to narrow down the problem of the motor not working, to problems with the pump.

Activity 5: The ‘WHY’ technique
With the help of your team and your trainer and/or supervisor, apply the ‘5 Why’s’ technique to a workplace problem.
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
© Australian National Training Authority 2003 Page 37 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008 ADELG1039
What is a problem?
A problem can come in a number of different forms but is basically the difference between the actual results and the results you expected.
For example:
You should be able to fully load a vehicle in under an hour. Over the past week we have not been able to load a vehicle in less than 75 minutes.
Expected results: You should be able to fully load a vehicle in under an hour.
Actual results: It is taking around 75 minutes to load a vehicle.
Problem: The problem is that we are 15 minutes behind schedule for each vehicle.
Problem solving process
There are many variations of problem solving models. The one we will use here has the following four steps:
• define problem and set goals
• plan
• take corrective action
• evaluate and follow up.
Step 1 -‐ Define problem and set goals
In the planning stage it is important to work out what the problem is and determine goals. For example:
Problem: High rate of workplace injuries.
Goal: Reduce injuries by 30% within 3 months.
Once you define the problem you set a SMART goal.
Step 2 -‐ Plan
As a team, collect and analyse data. Then you need to break the data into small pieces. Taking this data into consideration you can use problem-‐solving tools to determine potential causes and then
TLIG207C Lead a work team or group
Page 38 © Australian National Training Authority 2003 ADELG1039 Customised and developed by Armstrong’s Driver Education Pty Ltd August 2008
establish and test for the root cause. The tools most often used are Pareto charts, cause and effect diagrams, and brainstorming sessions.
Step 3 -‐ Identify potential solutions
As a team, using a variety of problem solving tools, you will identify potential solutions. Where there are several possible solutions that seem capable of solving the problem, the solution chosen should be for one of the following reasons:
• simplest solution
• cheapest solution
• longer term solution.
Step 4 -‐ Evaluate and follow up
It is very important, once a solution has been introduced that you measure its effect. This is for two important reasons:
• you need proof to know that something has worked

Assigning tasks
Team members should meet regularly for a short period of time in order to identify who will be responsible for which work tasks. Every team member should be clear about what they need to do and what other team members are expected to do. When working in teams it is the team leader’s job to make sure that work is allocated fairly.
When allocating work tasks:
• give each member of the team the chance to do different jobs and encourage them to build up skills and confidence in new areas
• get input from team members about where they would like to work and how they think tasks should be allocated
• let people know that they are trusted to perform the task you have set for them.
You might like to use the following steps to help your team allocate tasks.
• List all the tasks you team needs to complete in order of importance.
• Assign tasks to team members based on their areas of competence and expertise and their availability.
• Brief each team member on their assigned tasks and the relationships of their tasks to those of others.

Monitoring team performance
The team’s performance must be regularly reviewed so that team members know how well they are meeting their objectives/goals and have a chance to implement strategies to improve their outcomes. It is your job as team leader to ensure that your team continues to grow and adapt to the ever-‐changing conditions of the work environment.
Some of the questions you can ask yourself, as a team, in order to determine how well you are performing include:
• have we completed all our set tasks?
• were our deadlines met?
• was the work done to an acceptable standard?
• did we run into any problems?
• was there any conflict between team members?
Whatever the result, you should take the time to really understand the factors that led to either success or failure and to discuss how performance in the future can be improved. It is important that everyone is given the opportunity to comment on the results. Make sure that you also recognise the efforts of those involved with praise and supportive comments.

Giving performance feedback
Very often someone is performing well below either their capacity or your expectations. Do not stick your head in the sand and hope that they will realise what they are doing and change. Indeed, teammates will often cover up for another team member rather than tackle the issue head on. Whilst it is tempting to avoid performance problems you are only protecting yourself from the emotional trauma of a difficult situation and are being grossly unfair to the team member. By discussing performance problems you will provide an opportunity to allow that person to develop and grow.
Informal feedback
When you give informal feedback to a team member on their performance make sure that you:
• give the feedback privately to the team member involved
• are as relaxed and informal as possible
• maintain a calm, objective point of view. For example: Subjective statements such as ‘you don’t work as hard as others,’ ‘you are easily upset,’ or ‘you don’t show any interest in your job’ are subjective statements that are likely to offend. An objective statement like ‘the average time to load a truck is one hour and you are taking on average an hour and a half’ is on the other hand less likely to offend and obviously has more meaning than ‘you don’t work as hard as others.’
• decide with the employee on how his/her future performance can be improved
• close the feedback session courteously.
Formal performance appraisals
Formal performance appraisals that are agreed upon between team members in accordance with company procedures are used to develop information that may be helpful to the team member being appraised, who both needs and wants to learn about his/her particular strengths and weaknesses in relation to his/her job.

Specifically, performance appraisals:
• give team members feedback on what management thinks about their performance
• give team members an opportunity to discuss their own feelings about their job performance (e.g. identifying training needs, motivation levels)
• assist team members to plan their career
• give team leaders an opportunity to implement mentoring and coaching support to assist the team member to enhance his/her knowledge and skills
• allow both the team member and team leader to clarify the objectives of the job.

Mentoring and coaching team members
Team members, busy completing their work tasks, solving problems and carrying out their responsibilities may find it difficult to evaluate their performance objectively. Each work environment has its own distinct culture. A team member may firmly believe that they are behaving correctly whilst the organisation’s management may hold a different view. We all need help from another person to enable us to be successful within our career. A mentor can provide a team member with feedback in a manner that brings about a change in behaviour and work improvement.
It is important that the team member is given an opportunity to select their mentor. It is equally important that the person chosen is willing to act as a mentor for the team member and is given time and support from the company to act in this role.
Just remember that it is your job as team leader to help your team to be successful in their jobs, and to give and do everything you possibly can to help them achieve their personal best. Therefore, coaching is an essential skill for a team leader to have. Good team leaders, like good coaches, help their teams realise their full potential by giving individuals feedback on their performance, passing on skills to individuals and facilitating the team so that it functions as a whole.

Documenting and reviewing work team tasks
It is an important part of your job to compare your team’s task activities with the planned objectives, task instructions and specifications to ensure all requirements have been met.
Regardless of the work task, you can measure your team’s performance on the following:
• the amount of work completed compared to the work plan or action plan
• the quality of the work completed
• the actual costs compared to the budget
• whether the deadline was met
• whether customer’s expectations were met
• all necessary documentation related to job planning and progress is completed and recorded.
