boosting team member productivity
Thirdly, team cohesiveness that boosts team member productivity as they feel being part of the group. Team cohesiveness is built through trust among members and interpersonal relationships (Day, Gu, & Sammons, 2016). The ability to develop trust among members influence talented member contribution to the group performance. A talented individual finds it difficult to establish an interpersonal relationship with the team members, which might take longer to develop since they are more committed to the task.
Fourth is the confidence and creativity freedom of the team members. A talented individual tends to be more innovative and creative when solving a group task. Despite their ability, they lack the freedom and confidence in sharing their information with the group members, which reduces their contribution to the group. Lastly is the personality of the group leader that determines the team member’s motivation. Leaders articulate the group vision and provide opportunities for the members to express their skills and abilities to solve group problems (Gadirajurrett, Srinivasan, Stevens & Jeena, 2018). It offers an opportunity for talented individuals to express their skills hence feel motivated and recognized in the group. The presence of a good leader in the team acts as motivation and inspiration to the employee by setting the path they can follow.
On the other hand, the JV team utilizes most of the group qualities and skills to beat the varsity team. JV team has strong cohesiveness that brings all members together due to the effect of coach ranking them in the bottom (Livi, Alessandri, Caprara, & Pierro, 2015). It boosts their morale and motivation to work hard and prove their worth to the coach. The JV team maintained information flow to all members improving their communication skills and the ability to share their opinion with others. Effective communication improves members’ interpersonal skills that will enhance their confidence while associating with others (Jacox, 2019). JV team leader had effective leadership skills and qualities of a leader that ensure the team remains motivated and empowered to the point of taking down the Varsity group.
