Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The video presents a discussion on groups, teams, and their dynamics, emphasizing the differences between the two. Groups consist of individuals with personal goals, working together but independently, sharing common interests. Teams, in contrast, have shared goals, with members supporting each other for collective success. The advantages of groups include personal growth and efficiency, but they may lead to isolation. Teams benefit from synergy and collaboration, though they might lack individual growth potential.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Different team types are analyzed based on task complexity and membership fluidity, ranging from simple work teams to highly dynamic process teams. Simple work teams tackle straightforward problems with stable membership, while process teams face complex issues with a high turnover rate. Self-managed teams like those at Apple, led by Steve Jobs, exemplify teams with full control over their projects, tackling strategic challenges without upper management interference, thereby fostering innovative problem-solving in a creative environment.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Effectiveness in a team context requires understanding factors like leadership, trust, roles, and diverse skill sets. Teams exert influence by shaping member behaviors through majority opinion, which can be constructive if balanced. Theories like social facilitation and deindividuation explore how group presence affects individual performance. Managing influences and conflicts within teams involves strategies to harness positive group dynamics while mitigating negative effects on personal beliefs and organizational goals.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    The creative industry demands balancing individual creativity with collaborative team efforts. While group work can limit innovation, it must align with individual creativity for effective production. Models from organizational studies emphasize the need for managing artistic innovation with structured team collaboration. Creativity involves generating and evolving ideas, often starting with individual insights and expanded collaboratively, as seen in film and literature productions like "Harry Potter."

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:10

    Empowerment within teams enhances responsibility and decision-making capacity, encouraging innovative solutions and high morale. However, lack of conflict and overly flat hierarchies can reduce accountability and lead to inefficiency. Empowered teams need to be well-structured, understanding roles in creativity and conflict management. Examples from media figures highlight the importance of empowerment in fostering a supportive and productive team environment, essential for success in creative and organizational settings.

    Welcome to our ninth topic growth
  • 00:00:12
    behavior and personal influence where
  • 00:00:14
    we're going to cover some issues around
  • 00:00:16
    how groups behave and how do can we
  • 00:00:19
    Empower our people to work better in our
  • 00:00:22
    Productions and our performances
  • 00:00:25
    first of all about groups and teams a
  • 00:00:28
    group as a definition is a collection of
  • 00:00:30
    individuals who coordinate their efforts
  • 00:00:33
    while a team is a group of people who
  • 00:00:35
    share a common goal who are similar the
  • 00:00:37
    two are different when it comes to
  • 00:00:39
    decision making and teamwork in a war
  • 00:00:41
    group group members are independent from
  • 00:00:44
    one another and have individual
  • 00:00:46
    accountability a group is conformed by
  • 00:00:48
    people that work together and each
  • 00:00:50
    person has individual goals they work in
  • 00:00:53
    a group work collectively groups work
  • 00:00:55
    for separate walls but they also share a
  • 00:00:58
    common interest identity that unites
  • 00:01:00
    them there are advantages and a
  • 00:01:02
    disadvantage of course the advantage are
  • 00:01:04
    that they increase efficiency and
  • 00:01:06
    individual growth the disadvantage are
  • 00:01:08
    that they kept sometimes people is
  • 00:01:10
    isolated and their lack of alignment to
  • 00:01:12
    organizational goals and team is a group
  • 00:01:15
    of people who work together to achieve a
  • 00:01:17
    shared purpose of goal each team is the
  • 00:01:19
    sum of individual Parts which means the
  • 00:01:21
    team members must support each other in
  • 00:01:24
    order to achieve their desire out they
  • 00:01:26
    also have advantage and a disadvantages
  • 00:01:28
    as an advantage they have a Synergy and
  • 00:01:30
    collaboration that increases
  • 00:01:32
    productivity and problem solving
  • 00:01:34
    disadvantages they lack of individual
  • 00:01:36
    growth potential efficiency troubles
  • 00:01:38
    there are some important features we're
  • 00:01:40
    dealing on teams such as commitment
  • 00:01:42
    accountability trust and collaboration
  • 00:01:45
    and Synergy so a leader should
  • 00:01:47
    distinguish when this appropriate to
  • 00:01:49
    work in one mood or the other chart in
  • 00:01:52
    the top shows the difference that
  • 00:01:54
    relates to group or
  • 00:01:57
    deeper enforcement according to teams
  • 00:02:00
    there are different types of teams
  • 00:02:01
    sometime times teams have a different
  • 00:02:04
    simple a specific focus and some others
  • 00:02:07
    face complex issues with organizational
  • 00:02:09
    wide ramifications we can look at teams
  • 00:02:12
    and classify them in a variety of ways
  • 00:02:14
    let's first take a look at them based on
  • 00:02:16
    their task complexity and team member
  • 00:02:18
    fluidity task complexity is defined as a
  • 00:02:21
    stand of which your task is integrated
  • 00:02:23
    and consists of different interrelated
  • 00:02:25
    parts membership fluidity is a stand to
  • 00:02:28
    which membership between a team is
  • 00:02:30
    stable there are simple award teams
  • 00:02:32
    where simple work they have loved past
  • 00:02:34
    complexity and low time fluidity their
  • 00:02:36
    goal is simply problem solving
  • 00:02:38
    administrative teams they have high task
  • 00:02:41
    complexity but low team membership
  • 00:02:43
    fluidity meaning that the problems and
  • 00:02:45
    the teams deals are complex but people
  • 00:02:47
    stream in and out of the group across
  • 00:02:49
    the part to mental teams across
  • 00:02:50
    departmental team tends to have low
  • 00:02:52
    complexity level but a high team
  • 00:02:54
    membership fluidity their goal is
  • 00:02:57
    integrated in structure and setting
  • 00:03:00
    ground rules and their focus is
  • 00:03:01
    internally very specific and there is
  • 00:03:03
    also process teams that they deal with
  • 00:03:06
    high complexity a high team member
  • 00:03:08
    fluidity people is assigned to a team
  • 00:03:10
    and stay these folks are creative
  • 00:03:12
    problem solvers and they deal with
  • 00:03:14
    implementation their focus in this is
  • 00:03:17
    strategically and it is very proud in
  • 00:03:20
    this chart we have a comparison on how
  • 00:03:23
    we can correlate the two Acts assistant
  • 00:03:26
    team membership fluidity and complexity
  • 00:03:29
    each of those is really very easy
  • 00:03:32
    relates how you can relate for each one
  • 00:03:35
    of the applications that we have
  • 00:03:37
    mentioned
  • 00:03:38
    self-management teams are also used
  • 00:03:41
    there is a commonly used process tips
  • 00:03:44
    used in organizations these are
  • 00:03:46
    processed teams of employees who have
  • 00:03:48
    full managerial control over their own
  • 00:03:50
    work this they include the power to
  • 00:03:53
    manage their work different
  • 00:03:55
    repertilities and function power and
  • 00:03:57
    employment let's take an example here
  • 00:03:59
    for instance a self-management team was
  • 00:04:03
    created in apple by Steve Jobs where he
  • 00:04:06
    created a specific business unit to
  • 00:04:09
    develop plans to find weaknesses in the
  • 00:04:13
    Apple strategic plans they work in a
  • 00:04:16
    separate unit they work it together in
  • 00:04:18
    between the Apple campus in a different
  • 00:04:20
    building that was isolated these guys
  • 00:04:23
    were completely power managed they have
  • 00:04:27
    their own goals and their goal was to
  • 00:04:29
    identify any weakness that Apple might
  • 00:04:32
    have before any competitors could
  • 00:04:35
    identify that to create effective teams
  • 00:04:38
    okay let's say that they the way to work
  • 00:04:41
    in a team is preferred to work
  • 00:04:43
    individually but we need to we don't
  • 00:04:46
    want to solve our own Problem by
  • 00:04:48
    creating an effective team and by having
  • 00:04:51
    a single employee sometimes distracted
  • 00:04:54
    in other words there are tasks that
  • 00:04:55
    cannot be done necessarily by a team
  • 00:04:58
    they need to be done by individuals so
  • 00:05:01
    the question is what an effective team
  • 00:05:03
    actually means to us in this case we're
  • 00:05:05
    going to call a team effectively based
  • 00:05:07
    in the objective measurement of the
  • 00:05:09
    team's productivity a manager assessment
  • 00:05:11
    of the performance of member
  • 00:05:12
    satisfaction knowing that the team is
  • 00:05:14
    the way that we want to go then we want
  • 00:05:16
    to take a look on four different areas
  • 00:05:19
    and take them one at a time we need to
  • 00:05:21
    consider it first the context what's the
  • 00:05:23
    leadership and structural sources trust
  • 00:05:25
    evolution evaluation and reward systems
  • 00:05:27
    that are in that context composition
  • 00:05:30
    what are the abilities personalities
  • 00:05:32
    roles diversity and size that we are
  • 00:05:35
    involving viabilities we mean
  • 00:05:37
    technological technical expertise
  • 00:05:39
    problem solving and decision making
  • 00:05:40
    third the word design how is the world
  • 00:05:43
    to be done and finally the process how
  • 00:05:45
    we will operate what's the purpose what
  • 00:05:47
    are the goals efficacy conflict levels
  • 00:05:49
    social level and interaction so you will
  • 00:05:52
    have three actions here people actions
  • 00:05:54
    and thinking you have to consider all
  • 00:05:56
    these things between a different context
  • 00:05:58
    to make the right composition of your
  • 00:06:01
    team the sign a very work structure and
  • 00:06:04
    then Define the process that they will
  • 00:06:06
    operate now a group has to consider that
  • 00:06:08
    they create influence both in the
  • 00:06:10
    members the leaders in the whole
  • 00:06:12
    organization we all have been in a group
  • 00:06:15
    and very frequently we have had to went
  • 00:06:18
    with group decisions and actions just
  • 00:06:20
    because our membership even with those
  • 00:06:22
    actions go against our beliefs that's
  • 00:06:25
    you to something called group of
  • 00:06:26
    influence this is a concept a phenomenon
  • 00:06:29
    that happens when the majority of people
  • 00:06:30
    in a group of influence the thoughts and
  • 00:06:32
    behaviors of other members of that group
  • 00:06:34
    is like you may see an example in a
  • 00:06:37
    focus group when a person in the group
  • 00:06:39
    starts to influence the opinion of the
  • 00:06:41
    other guys so the task of the moderator
  • 00:06:44
    is to balance and to be sure that
  • 00:06:46
    everyone takes and gives their opinions
  • 00:06:49
    in a group we all share our beliefs and
  • 00:06:52
    experiences to set and threaten ties all
  • 00:06:54
    that can be positive or negative the
  • 00:06:57
    concept of growing plants is that people
  • 00:06:58
    will change their behavior for the
  • 00:07:00
    benefit of a majority or group that's
  • 00:07:03
    positive when is not enforced negatively
  • 00:07:06
    the evidence-based Theory arise and the
  • 00:07:09
    basic principle that people repeat
  • 00:07:11
    behaviors that receive a positive
  • 00:07:12
    outcome response or reinforcement in the
  • 00:07:15
    words of golangal influence is a term
  • 00:07:17
    used to denote change in the behavioral
  • 00:07:19
    person or a group due to the
  • 00:07:20
    anticipation of responses to others
  • 00:07:22
    there are several theories that try to
  • 00:07:24
    explain Group International influence
  • 00:07:26
    like the social facilitation Theory
  • 00:07:28
    where the presence of the group can
  • 00:07:30
    influence us to do our best the
  • 00:07:32
    individualization theory it happens when
  • 00:07:34
    we lose our sense of self-embrace the
  • 00:07:36
    identity of the group the social impact
  • 00:07:38
    Theory a group will have the most
  • 00:07:40
    influence on us depending on how
  • 00:07:42
    intimated clubs we are to the people in
  • 00:07:44
    the group the specific pace and time
  • 00:07:46
    with the group tries to exercise alsanas
  • 00:07:49
    just think a while about how people
  • 00:07:52
    interrelate and that's not only in the
  • 00:07:55
    work environment it happens in the whole
  • 00:07:57
    society it happens to our audiences some
  • 00:07:59
    of our audiences are influenced by other
  • 00:08:01
    groups to attend our shows to attend our
  • 00:08:04
    events to go to our films now we have
  • 00:08:08
    created the team we have we know how to
  • 00:08:10
    imp the influence works so let's take a
  • 00:08:13
    look on how do we should manage that
  • 00:08:15
    team in our creative Industries the
  • 00:08:18
    context that we are have to consider
  • 00:08:20
    here is the first we need to understand
  • 00:08:22
    the conditions of our society there are
  • 00:08:24
    a tissue as the experiential economy
  • 00:08:27
    characteristices the growing needs for
  • 00:08:29
    identity empowerment that are either by
  • 00:08:32
    Technologies like platforms digital
  • 00:08:35
    networks and where the audiences
  • 00:08:38
    generate and consume information and
  • 00:08:41
    communicate very frequently thus they
  • 00:08:44
    need to have creative contents history
  • 00:08:46
    telling narrative the creative
  • 00:08:48
    industries does involve the
  • 00:08:50
    concretization of an image through
  • 00:08:52
    whatever medium sum of economic
  • 00:08:55
    literature however the nature of
  • 00:08:57
    experienced Goods makes the manpatter
  • 00:08:59
    unpredictable and production process is
  • 00:09:01
    difficult to control uncertainty of the
  • 00:09:03
    man for decorative product posts
  • 00:09:06
    managerial and organizational challenge
  • 00:09:07
    we cannot pray how a creative will
  • 00:09:10
    imagine in the hurt its head how are the
  • 00:09:14
    development of a theatrical production
  • 00:09:16
    will go for a Film Production however
  • 00:09:19
    artists will make a music sing song
  • 00:09:23
    without predicting a very quantitatively
  • 00:09:27
    performance the structure and Staffing
  • 00:09:30
    of creative products are often temporary
  • 00:09:32
    as our capital investment success is
  • 00:09:34
    then dependent in the composition of the
  • 00:09:36
    teams that work together as individuals
  • 00:09:38
    and groups in a highly interactive and
  • 00:09:41
    adaptive fashion of that product despite
  • 00:09:43
    that fact a great deal of research
  • 00:09:45
    conducting in the area of group dynamics
  • 00:09:47
    suggests that groups are often much less
  • 00:09:49
    creative and productive that they are
  • 00:09:51
    usually assumed in other words let's
  • 00:09:53
    understand that yes creatives should
  • 00:09:55
    work individually but their work has to
  • 00:09:57
    be shared shared and working thereafter
  • 00:10:00
    in collaboration the important question
  • 00:10:02
    on how to manage creative teams is to
  • 00:10:05
    achieve a high productivity with our
  • 00:10:07
    limited resources and times arises in
  • 00:10:09
    Innovation management both productivity
  • 00:10:11
    ethical and practical points of view yes
  • 00:10:13
    we have to understand that there are no
  • 00:10:15
    Clarity which factors affect the
  • 00:10:17
    productivity work some are more
  • 00:10:19
    important than others I suggest you to
  • 00:10:21
    read the Fourth Article in the link that
  • 00:10:25
    is in the bottom where you will find
  • 00:10:27
    some recommendations on how to start
  • 00:10:29
    managing your creative teams in our
  • 00:10:32
    industry but that's saying move forward
  • 00:10:34
    too what are the characteristics of
  • 00:10:36
    creative Industries we are going to
  • 00:10:38
    relate to the work of the researchers a
  • 00:10:41
    modeling there is a model that worked in
  • 00:10:44
    the componential model of organizational
  • 00:10:45
    innovation in her words the creative art
  • 00:10:48
    is an act of managing self managing
  • 00:10:50
    others and managing up it's an activity
  • 00:10:52
    organization coordinating and directing
  • 00:10:54
    success in both areas often involve
  • 00:10:57
    collaborative practice especially at the
  • 00:10:59
    basis of innovation although emanating
  • 00:11:00
    from different sources that are
  • 00:11:02
    pressured to innovate in both management
  • 00:11:03
    and art an artist is then obligated to
  • 00:11:06
    innovate from what which went before in
  • 00:11:09
    order to claim an individual for voice
  • 00:11:11
    for the long term that is the pressure
  • 00:11:13
    in our talents but in business
  • 00:11:15
    Innovation or product process is equally
  • 00:11:18
    a form of Market imperative both may be
  • 00:11:20
    seen as a form of practice while this is
  • 00:11:22
    largely recognized for the artist the
  • 00:11:25
    manager does not often see him as sewing
  • 00:11:27
    Gates a processor reflection what is
  • 00:11:29
    that they do and how they do that it's
  • 00:11:31
    not traditionally part of a recognized
  • 00:11:33
    discourse of management activity that's
  • 00:11:35
    a difficult part to understand between
  • 00:11:37
    the manager and the talent we need to
  • 00:11:40
    understand their Innovation their human
  • 00:11:42
    nature that introspective nature of the
  • 00:11:44
    artistic process as individual struggles
  • 00:11:46
    in order to express a creative intent
  • 00:11:49
    might on the first glance place it well
  • 00:11:51
    outside the Norms of management activity
  • 00:11:53
    and will need a lot of emotional sense
  • 00:11:57
    and control from the manager side
  • 00:12:00
    there are three in three individual
  • 00:12:02
    factors important for creativity the
  • 00:12:04
    main relevant knowledge creativity
  • 00:12:06
    Reliant skills and motivation the
  • 00:12:09
    characteristics of our environment in
  • 00:12:11
    our organizations and impact an
  • 00:12:12
    individual creativity or organizational
  • 00:12:15
    motivation to innovate resources and
  • 00:12:18
    management practices according to Teresa
  • 00:12:20
    mobile componential theory of creativity
  • 00:12:22
    creative work can be delineated into
  • 00:12:25
    idea generation and problem solving so
  • 00:12:27
    our task is take together both and make
  • 00:12:30
    them the best what is possible so what
  • 00:12:33
    is definition of creativity we have
  • 00:12:35
    spoken about artists creatives work and
  • 00:12:38
    teams and individuals team creativity
  • 00:12:40
    has been described as a collective
  • 00:12:42
    phenomenon where members behavior
  • 00:12:44
    connectively and emotional attempt new
  • 00:12:47
    things take Noble approaches to their
  • 00:12:49
    work their generate Works processes or
  • 00:12:51
    procedures that are both Noble and
  • 00:12:53
    useful being creativity can originate
  • 00:12:56
    with the ideal suggestion of a single
  • 00:12:58
    individual that is developed working on
  • 00:13:00
    and elaborated upon the team the team
  • 00:13:03
    can have an influence the thing can
  • 00:13:06
    modify the approach that is valid an
  • 00:13:09
    example is let's take for instance Harry
  • 00:13:12
    Potter Jacob Rowling can have whatever
  • 00:13:14
    they wrote In the novel in their scripts
  • 00:13:16
    for the films but there were also
  • 00:13:18
    feeding from the team production works
  • 00:13:21
    when they work together and they
  • 00:13:23
    suggested better ways to emphasize
  • 00:13:25
    according to technology the best ways to
  • 00:13:27
    for one media or another written paper
  • 00:13:30
    theater or film what is the best way to
  • 00:13:33
    communicate the experience Adventures of
  • 00:13:36
    Harry Potter so think creativity
  • 00:13:38
    originates with a real suggestion of a
  • 00:13:40
    single individual who is developed who
  • 00:13:42
    elaborated by the team in many teams
  • 00:13:44
    there is athlete Creator who see the SRC
  • 00:13:47
    for the projects that the team will
  • 00:13:49
    subsequently develop creativity can also
  • 00:13:52
    emerge from the collective an idea
  • 00:13:53
    minutes from the unit and the unit as a
  • 00:13:55
    team as a collective world and refines
  • 00:13:57
    their their own idea ideas can also be
  • 00:14:00
    developed basic groups and they move to
  • 00:14:02
    large groups who will further develop an
  • 00:14:04
    idea and take the process forward an
  • 00:14:06
    example
  • 00:14:07
    suggest you to read the article and case
  • 00:14:09
    and how Pixar handles creativity the
  • 00:14:12
    link is at the bottom of course you have
  • 00:14:13
    to take this as part of our activities
  • 00:14:16
    in this topic working in teams also take
  • 00:14:19
    us to the management of conflicts
  • 00:14:21
    sometimes we cannot we see things
  • 00:14:23
    differently and doesn't mean that it's
  • 00:14:26
    wrong seeing things differently really
  • 00:14:27
    enriches the process the problem is how
  • 00:14:30
    to deal with to sharing and analyzing so
  • 00:14:34
    we can take the best from All Parts
  • 00:14:36
    there are ways to manage our conflict
  • 00:14:38
    first of all we can change the structure
  • 00:14:40
    when a structure is caused of
  • 00:14:42
    dysfunctional conflict structural change
  • 00:14:44
    can be the solution to solve the problem
  • 00:14:46
    change the composition of the team if
  • 00:14:48
    the conflict is between team members the
  • 00:14:50
    assist could be to change the
  • 00:14:52
    composition dream separating some
  • 00:14:54
    personalities that were adults instances
  • 00:14:56
    of which complex is attributed to the
  • 00:14:58
    widely different styles values and
  • 00:15:00
    preferences of small numbers of members
  • 00:15:02
    we need to replace some members to
  • 00:15:04
    replace a conflict if that's not
  • 00:15:06
    possible because everyone's skills are
  • 00:15:08
    needed on the team consider a physical
  • 00:15:09
    layout solution separate physically some
  • 00:15:12
    of them timingly in physically in the
  • 00:15:15
    place create a common office in force
  • 00:15:17
    sometimes group conflict can be
  • 00:15:19
    mitigated by changing the attention in
  • 00:15:22
    economy a common enemy it can be timing
  • 00:15:26
    competition pressure to to perform and
  • 00:15:29
    to sell for instance instance two
  • 00:15:31
    software groups are buying against each
  • 00:15:33
    other for marketing dollars they are
  • 00:15:35
    fighting to have the investment in their
  • 00:15:37
    own each project they want to maximize
  • 00:15:39
    advertising money devoted to the product
  • 00:15:42
    focusing attention in a competitive
  • 00:15:44
    company can distract their fight and
  • 00:15:47
    they may decide to work together to
  • 00:15:48
    enhance marketing Effectiveness for the
  • 00:15:50
    company as a whole thus the enemy
  • 00:15:52
    becomes is another company and it could
  • 00:15:55
    be a concept or it could be a recession
  • 00:15:57
    something that will organize those two
  • 00:16:00
    departments that were fighting to make
  • 00:16:03
    them work together and that will mean to
  • 00:16:06
    solve the problems and save jobs even in
  • 00:16:08
    a downturn problem solve is a common
  • 00:16:10
    approach to solving conflicts when we
  • 00:16:13
    solve problems the individuals and
  • 00:16:15
    groups in Conflict are asking to
  • 00:16:16
    focusing the problem not in each other
  • 00:16:19
    and to uncover the root cause of the
  • 00:16:21
    same basic barrier in order to conflict
  • 00:16:24
    handle a project there are different
  • 00:16:26
    styles some Styles is basically can be
  • 00:16:29
    mapped and agreed that shows a different
  • 00:16:30
    degree of cooperation and assertiveness
  • 00:16:33
    an interesting style some people chooses
  • 00:16:36
    to avoid conflict that means to be
  • 00:16:38
    uncompetitive and unassertive some ways
  • 00:16:41
    the people blocks themselves the
  • 00:16:42
    accommodating Styles another one this is
  • 00:16:44
    more Cooperative but is not unasserted
  • 00:16:47
    in this style person gives in whatever
  • 00:16:49
    website wants even it means giving up
  • 00:16:51
    its own personal goals the compromising
  • 00:16:53
    style is a middle ground styling which
  • 00:16:56
    individuals have some decide to express
  • 00:16:57
    their own concerns and to get away to
  • 00:16:59
    see their respect the other person goals
  • 00:17:01
    people that exhibit a competing style
  • 00:17:04
    wants to reach the goal or when there to
  • 00:17:06
    a scepter so
  • 00:17:08
    how they feel competing style is really
  • 00:17:11
    sometimes a very problematical when we
  • 00:17:14
    are facing it the collaborating style is
  • 00:17:16
    high in both assertiveness and
  • 00:17:18
    cooperation this is an strategy to use
  • 00:17:20
    for achieving the best outcome conflict
  • 00:17:22
    both sides are looking for the position
  • 00:17:23
    they argue they support the flags and
  • 00:17:26
    rational while listening attentively on
  • 00:17:28
    the other side the objective is to find
  • 00:17:30
    a win-win solution problem which both
  • 00:17:33
    parties and the entire company and team
  • 00:17:35
    will get what they want
  • 00:17:37
    and we can see here in the chart table
  • 00:17:40
    at the bottom how we can into access the
  • 00:17:43
    level of operation is plotted against
  • 00:17:45
    the level of competitiveness as I
  • 00:17:47
    mentioned the best mode of analyst
  • 00:17:50
    conflict is collaboration while the best
  • 00:17:52
    the worst one is avoidance we what is
  • 00:17:56
    the best one that you can have for your
  • 00:17:57
    organization take a look at that and
  • 00:17:59
    sometimes we need to identify it in our
  • 00:18:01
    teams how is the people the style and
  • 00:18:04
    people role that they take what if we
  • 00:18:07
    don't have enough conflict that's also
  • 00:18:09
    negative if we have a team that everyone
  • 00:18:11
    is agreeing we are lacking stimulation
  • 00:18:13
    we are lacking Innovation sometimes that
  • 00:18:16
    will need to have some kind of stimuli
  • 00:18:18
    where people will provide us with ways
  • 00:18:22
    to enrich our goals and shows okay so we
  • 00:18:26
    need to impose the discussion but at the
  • 00:18:29
    same time not to go to other side to
  • 00:18:31
    have a fight and then
  • 00:18:33
    we move to the empowerment issue in
  • 00:18:36
    order to do that I recommend you first
  • 00:18:38
    to watch the following video and answer
  • 00:18:40
    the questions that are included
  • 00:18:42
    empowerment is a powerful tool where we
  • 00:18:46
    as managers leaders and both as
  • 00:18:48
    employees we can use us to really enrich
  • 00:18:52
    and strength our Productions our
  • 00:18:54
    performances questions are here those
  • 00:18:57
    empowerment mean to give total autonomy
  • 00:18:59
    to the people you will find that it's
  • 00:19:01
    not necessarily the case someone
  • 00:19:02
    provides encouragement tools and
  • 00:19:04
    Authority enable them to use their
  • 00:19:06
    powers and talent effectively is one
  • 00:19:08
    definition of when given empowerment we
  • 00:19:10
    agree to reduce dependency and happiness
  • 00:19:12
    that's right or false empowerment can be
  • 00:19:14
    an anchor or an asset Planet think about
  • 00:19:17
    those questions and reflect on the power
  • 00:19:19
    of empowerment when we speak about
  • 00:19:20
    empowerment in teams it happens when a
  • 00:19:23
    group of employees has a responsibility
  • 00:19:25
    and authority to make decisions instead
  • 00:19:27
    of waiting for a manager or leader to
  • 00:19:29
    coming from the top to issue
  • 00:19:31
    instructions or approved request an
  • 00:19:33
    empowering team are is itself around a
  • 00:19:36
    natural leader an empowered employee has
  • 00:19:38
    the authority and responsibility to make
  • 00:19:40
    decisions rather than needing to get
  • 00:19:42
    approval or instructions from a manager
  • 00:19:44
    in an emperor or a team each teammate
  • 00:19:46
    has a voice in group decisions the team
  • 00:19:48
    sells organizers are on a leader instead
  • 00:19:50
    reporting to a manager an organization
  • 00:19:52
    structure around empowered teams will
  • 00:19:54
    have a relative flat hierarchy and high
  • 00:19:56
    promotional well-educated highly trusted
  • 00:19:59
    employees and that's the way it happens
  • 00:20:01
    empowering leadership leads to peer
  • 00:20:04
    leadership quality and team
  • 00:20:05
    identification that will reflect on team
  • 00:20:07
    Effectiveness or some satisfaction but
  • 00:20:10
    also take a look on that burnout working
  • 00:20:13
    too much in teams it can lead to a
  • 00:20:15
    stress the characteristics of a team
  • 00:20:17
    power many corporates for elements of
  • 00:20:19
    potency meaningful less autonomy and
  • 00:20:21
    impact a patent team believes in our own
  • 00:20:24
    power and Effectiveness meaningfulness
  • 00:20:26
    is a measure of how much employees care
  • 00:20:28
    about the results of the war combining
  • 00:20:29
    the world a team is autonomous to
  • 00:20:31
    understand that it's free to make
  • 00:20:33
    decisions and impact measures how much
  • 00:20:35
    the team contributes to their company
  • 00:20:37
    finally significance they are usually
  • 00:20:39
    the teams are usually product based and
  • 00:20:42
    cross-discipline they may be developing
  • 00:20:43
    a new product establishing their company
  • 00:20:45
    policy or conducting an outlet while
  • 00:20:48
    they don't have a dedicated manager
  • 00:20:50
    within the team they might use the
  • 00:20:51
    skills of our product manager to help
  • 00:20:53
    coordinate us and timelines roles are
  • 00:20:55
    not imposed over the team of worm above
  • 00:20:57
    we are more effective with the
  • 00:20:59
    establishing their own restricted rules
  • 00:21:01
    regarding how this is undermaid
  • 00:21:03
    communicated who is responsible for
  • 00:21:05
    implementing them it has also both
  • 00:21:08
    advantages and disadvantages they often
  • 00:21:10
    have high morale and may have caused the
  • 00:21:12
    company less due to not require an
  • 00:21:14
    educated manager highly qualified
  • 00:21:16
    knowledge workers can produce more
  • 00:21:18
    effectively and efficient results since
  • 00:21:20
    each individual contribute their
  • 00:21:22
    expertise without final information
  • 00:21:24
    through a filter of a manager for prices
  • 00:21:26
    they are equally affect a company
  • 00:21:28
    customer an empowered team can be an
  • 00:21:30
    excellent resource for customer service
  • 00:21:31
    the disadvantages are that because
  • 00:21:34
    everyone can make decisions it's
  • 00:21:36
    susceptible conflict and organization
  • 00:21:38
    that's why it's important to understand
  • 00:21:39
    the previous session on conflicts
  • 00:21:41
    without a clear line of capitality there
  • 00:21:43
    is no tiebreaker in this agreement and
  • 00:21:46
    there are maybe no one to challenge a
  • 00:21:48
    poor idea and untested on a skill team
  • 00:21:50
    has the power to damage the company so
  • 00:21:52
    let's take a look in the abilities
  • 00:21:54
    schools skills and tools that your team
  • 00:21:58
    will have to have there are types of
  • 00:21:59
    environment from the individual to the
  • 00:22:02
    general empowerment social empowerment
  • 00:22:03
    would you believe you can make a
  • 00:22:05
    difference in society there is
  • 00:22:07
    educational empowerment economic
  • 00:22:08
    empowerment political psychological and
  • 00:22:11
    physical which one of these applies to
  • 00:22:13
    our entertainment business we'll say you
  • 00:22:16
    all of them because you have in your
  • 00:22:17
    team's individual people who would like
  • 00:22:19
    to feel empowered because you have to
  • 00:22:21
    ensure to have the appropriate gender
  • 00:22:23
    empowerment how many times we have
  • 00:22:25
    complained that our Productions are not
  • 00:22:28
    efficient or enough
  • 00:22:30
    empowerment balance to women and to end
  • 00:22:33
    gbt people we need to ensure that
  • 00:22:36
    everyone is involved how about political
  • 00:22:38
    empowerment we need to fight some
  • 00:22:40
    decisions that the governments do
  • 00:22:42
    rightly or run but they are against Well
  • 00:22:44
    Company beliefs and values are about the
  • 00:22:47
    psychological empowerment of our
  • 00:22:49
    audiences how do they will enjoy how we
  • 00:22:53
    are going to tackle that you're very
  • 00:22:55
    important in all the facets of the
  • 00:22:57
    stages of entertainment as an example
  • 00:23:00
    empowerment in entertainment we can take
  • 00:23:02
    a look of how opera has taken that
  • 00:23:06
    empowerment and applied to the business
  • 00:23:08
    both as a speaker as an artist as a
  • 00:23:10
    producer in the recent receipt of the
  • 00:23:13
    award of empowerment and entertainment
  • 00:23:16
    she gave us these words empowerment
  • 00:23:19
