Instruction
If you use external sources of information make sure that you reference your work correctly and include a correctly formatted reference list.
Read the following scenario and in a report explain the steps you would take to develop a competent team. Your answers should be based on the information contained in the scenario and what you have learnt in this study unit about team dynamics. Your report should be approximately 3000 words. It may contain an action plan, sample procedures or other types of documents to explain how you will lead this team.
Explain in logical sequence, what methods you would use to develop the working capacity of your team. Give reason for each of your actions and the expected outcomes. What are the timeframes that these actions will occur within? What will you do if these measures do not work?
In your report consider:
