Obstacles to building work teams:
One of the most important challenges facing organizations in accordance with the concepts of work teams is the challenge of bridging the gap between the Organization's requirements and the skills of workers, and optimal use of advanced technologies and ensuring outstanding job competencies that meet the objectives of the organization, in successful organizations is the relationship between superiors and subordinates are the cornerstone of the success of the work teams different plays Commander or Director important role in the development of this relationship in a climate of mutual trust and respect and comprehensive understanding of the needs of both the organization and the individual in order to create a favorable environment to achieve the goals and directions of the senior management of the organization and at the same moment is achieving the goals and aspirations of workers.
Traditional business management makes commander or director is the focus of trends and the omission of the role of individuals in one way or another, which is contrary to the reality of today, which imposes a leader / manager if he wishes success to get rid of these methods are outdated and is armed with a weapon confidence, trust and lends itself to the concerns of subordinates and their ideas and perspectives and constantly trying to push power down the organizational peace to enable them to do their jobs because they are more attached to them and they know the requirements and exposing their success and how they are measured so we can conclude the obstacles and difficulties faced by the various work teams in organizations and clarified as follows:
• organizational obstacles:
Cultural obstacles: organizational climate culture may dominated by individual competition and focus on personal achievement culture and be talking about teams superficial modern concept is far from the concept or knowledge of the benefits of having the motivation to do the work. The faith leaders and managers (decision makers) methodology to work as a method of management teams leads to the belief of their importance and this belief creates the motivation to look seriously about its benefits and then determine the needs that can be achieved through various work teams, and on the contrary, the lack of leaders and managers of this matter there organizational culture that prevents the work in the form of work teams.
Focus on the completion of the work: the sense of focus to accept job as it is to perform its duties without consideration of the relationships and emotions and humanitarian needs of individuals from a base, "I can work" Vtndz work assigned to individuals, either collectively or individually, and distract from all that would achieve Building effective teams work.
weak strategic thinking: It is known that the strategic thinking leads to distinguish between cause and effect, including helping to identify problems faced by the organization and the main reasons her, and bring access to new ideas and solutions far from the traditional methods of doing business, as well as not to dwell on the executive side and focus on the strategic side is important and then draw conclusions and determine the impact of all this on individuals through the study of the extent of their response to the many administrative decisions.
For further clarification, the strategic thinking saves time factor and helps to identify the skills required for the various administrative levels to prevent the cultural fortifications anti methodology to build teams.
Structure: when there is traditionally a hierarchy and a large structure and there are a number of different levels of mattresses and seen some sectors a different perspective reduces its position in the organization of the work to form a working group to be a very difficult process and become building effective work teams activities very complicated .
lead incentives and rewards that guide individual efforts to a significant impact on team building operations and impede progress by focusing on the individual and the creation of competitive systems.
• Individual obstacles:
captain beliefs: beliefs team, trends, and commander of the knowledge and skills play an important role in the process of building a team
Where not enough belief in the importance of working teams alone in building highly effective work teams where some leaders back to the individual work once exposure to some of the pressure and seeks to prevail opinion in the end the team's activities out of concern for the time factor and the preservation of efficiency required for completion of the work.
Skills: There are two types of skills: technical skills and team work On the point of technical skill to the team members is important that the available enough to perform the task and it is not necessary to have a full range of skills as one of the benefits of working as a team is to provide the opportunity for individuals to enhance their skills and develop themselves and includes the development of technical skills, it is important that the team is available at the appropriate technical skills and strategic thinking skills and personal skills.
Location: The ideal situation is that the team works in one place and as far as Maicon there yet where I am as much Misubh difficult to build an effective team and the exchange of information and data process and setting goals annoying too and tiring process and cooperation is weak among team members can experience that will help in improving the status of team and reduce feelings of isolation that is being returned to work in one place will lead to greater cooperation.
Number of team members: ranges ideal number of members of work teams usually between three to eight individuals and sometimes as many as ten members, noting that any increase in the number for a reasonable limit, this leads to a reduction in the time available for each member to actively participate in the activity The group discussions during multiple meetings, as well as the lack of any number would be would reduce the effectiveness and efficiency of the team in order to decrease and the lack of different ideas and insights needed to succeed in the task.
Therefore we can say that he can not be in any way to build an effective team if the team will include a large number of members because it would applicability of the law of "diminishing returns" on this kind of difference, where the greater number of team members has increased, the less cooperation and lack of effectiveness and interest yield and purpose for which the team was formed and will not be achieved
