Goals and Cohesion Productivity must be established by

setting challenging and specific goals. Making sure the members know what the individual goals are, for themselves and their team mates, is very important.

There can be no hidden agendas by any of the members, their goals must coincide with team goals.

What’s good for the team has to be good for the individual and visa

versa.

Causes of team cohesiveness

Page 8: TEAM COHESIVENESS MADE BY: Shalini Prakash….(018) Monisha Gautam..(026)

Member similarity • Homogeneous team easier to develop

cohesiveness, less conflict Team size • Smaller teams, more cohesive • Easier to agree upon goals, coordinate tasks• If team too small, difficult to reach goals

Page 9: TEAM COHESIVENESS MADE BY: Shalini Prakash….(018) Monisha Gautam..(026)

Cont…. Team success • Successful teams more attractive (self-identity)• Gives team more confidence (self efficacy) External competition and challenges• Cohesiveness higher with external

competition/challenges

Forming

First moments of a newly formed group’s life How team members fits into the team Often marked by tension, guarded interchanges, and

low levels of interaction People monitor their behavior and are tentative when

expression opinions

Storming

Members acquire roles and responsibilities Tension increases in the storming phase – over goals,

procedures, authority etc. Conflict often causes fight or flight responses Coach assess strength and weakness of their members

and begin to decide who will go in which role.

Page 18: TEAM COHESIVENESS MADE BY: Shalini Prakash….(018) Monisha Gautam..(026)

Key Environmental Factors Normative factors hold groups together Contractual responsibilities Organization factors• Size of the team

• Distinctiveness from others

Page 19: TEAM COHESIVENESS MADE BY: Shalini Prakash….(018) Monisha Gautam..(026)

Key Personal Factors

both social and task cohesion.• Similar aspirations is another factor.

Key Leadership Factors Leadership style is vital to team

cohesion• Clear communication• Team goals• Team members’ roles• Enhancing feelings of cohesion• Compatibility between coach and

athletes

Page 23: TEAM COHESIVENESS MADE BY: Shalini Prakash….(018) Monisha Gautam..(026)

Commitment to a Goal

Page 24: TEAM COHESIVENESS MADE BY: Shalini Prakash….(018) Monisha Gautam..(026)

Role Acceptance Role Acceptance• Satisfaction of one’s role• To achieve as a team, individual sacrifices

must be made throughout the season. Role acceptance is directly related:• Opportunity to use specialized skills• Receive feedback and recognition• Role significance• Opportunity to work independently

Page 25: TEAM COHESIVENESS MADE BY: Shalini Prakash….(018) Monisha Gautam..(026)

Communication

Open door policy• active listening• Line of regard• Better to be vocal rather

than silent

Poor communication usually results in conflict

Page 26: TEAM COHESIVENESS MADE BY: Shalini Prakash….(018) Monisha Gautam..(026)

Team Conflict Role conflict is a major source• A goal is blocked due to lack of

ability, motivation, time or lack of understanding to achieve the goal

• Reward team success instead of individual statistics, honors, and awards

Page 27: TEAM COHESIVENESS MADE BY: Shalini Prakash….(018) Monisha Gautam..(026)

Team Cohesion… A Final Thought The more cohesive a team

is, the more it encourages peak performance in its members. If cohesion is lacking it can often prevent the team from reaching its’ potential.
