Effectiveness definition | group goal attainment |
Traits of leaders | self confidence need for achievemnt persistence emotional stability extraversion cognitrive ability |
Task clearly defined | directiveness not necc |
followers lack ability | need direction |
Two types of leaders | Directive/achievement Supportive/paricipative |
Directive/achievement | production, task emphasis: change / select people to fit tasks clarifies follower duties |
Supportive/Participative | leader is approachable, supports, consults with, and shows peronal concern for followers Team harmony, chances tasks to people promotoes follower satisfaction |
When the task itself is intrinsically satisfying | the need for high consideration and high structure is reduced. |
Initiating structure | is the degree to which a leader structures the roles of followers by setting goals, giving directions, setting deadlines, and assigning tasks. A leader's ability to initiate structure primarily affects subordinates' job performance. |
Consideration | is the extent to which a leader is friendly, approachable, supportive, and shows concern for employees. Consideration primarily affects subordinates' job satisfaction. |
When subordinates lack knowledge how to perform a job or the job has vague goals or methods | consideration becomes less important, while initiating structure takes on additional importance. |
When the goals and methods of performing the job are very clear and certain | consideration should promote subordinate satisfaction, while structure should promote dissatisfaction. |
When subordinates are under a high degree of pressure due to deadlines, unclear tasks or external threat, | initiating structure increases satisfaction and performance. |

Oginization def | -structured or patterned set of people with common goals that are not achievable by individuals alone |
STRUCTURE DELTA ALWAYS.... | CREATS RESOURCE CONFLICT |
Structure helps: | -resource eff -speed -adaptability -accountability -innovation |
Basic structure types | functional divisional matrix network |
Functional structure def | clear internal hierarchy based on task specialization, central authority, usually deep verticals |
divisional structure def | external/market-facing via products, regions, mixed strategy v. implementation, flatter than functional |
matrix structure def | split hierarchy, dual reporting: function and division with shared authority, flatter than div |
network | decentralized lattice, spiders web, virtual org, one layer of hiearchy |
Functional goal match | +resource eff (best), accountability -speed, adaptability, innovation |
Divisional goal match | +adaptability (best), accountability (moderate) -resource eff (worst), speed, innovation |
Matrix goal match | +resource eff, adaptbility, innovation -accountability(worst), speed |
Network goal match | +speed (best), innovation (best), adaptability -resource eff, accountability |
All companies need (goal) | innovation network or spun off function |

what is a team | -group of people -complementary skills -shared purpose -performance goals -common approach -mutual accountability |
Team are good at | catch errors, improve quality evaluate ideas, solve problems, make decisions require variety of skills |
Teams bad things | -disagreement can cause conflicts -risk taking, can be costly -have strong potential for inefficient |
Team dev stages | -forming -storming -norming -performing -adjourning |
Formula for effectiveness | =f-g*h |
f+ | avg memeber intell, task skill and experience skill/knowledge variet motivation gains |
g- | motivation losses -emotional conflicts -low identifiability -faultline strength -flow inefficiences |
h | task interdependence |
task interdepence def | how much members inputs, efforts, outputs are connected, coordinated |
pooled (parallel) interdependence | mostly disjunctive -BASEBALL TEAM |
Sequential (serial) interdependence | -relay team, assembly process |
intensive (synchronized), | mostly conjuctive -football team, orchestra, surgery |
Forming Team | Team Design |
Team sized | -moderate (5-10) -too small=low skill variety too big = motivation losses, process ineff |
Chartering is | establishment of agenda, ground rules for tasks, interactions |
Mental models are | Collective representation/image of team’s functions; cog structure process: task-person interdependence goal (end state and time) want *low* σ (variance) |
Getting a strong SMM | design: similar prior experience design: pre-visualization design: shared rewards -- “it’s amazing what can be accomplished when no one gets the credit” (T. Bennett, UVA) practice/training together routine communication role rotation |
Diversity | distribution of differences in social identities (the social categories or membership groups to which individuals feel strong attachment) that give meaning to and shape daily experience |
inclusion | acceptance of individual social identities, as demonstrated in opportunity to contribute and be appreciated for those contributions |

Trust def | willingness to be interpersonally vulnerable |
3 trust dimensions | -competence -benevelonce -integrity |
Social loafing def | Tendency to withhold physical or intellectual inputs; less effort when performing team task |
Solutions to loafing | smaller team more visible inputs peer performance reviews distinct member roles, so unique contribution |
Reasons social loafing occurs | individual contributions not identifiable inputs seen as unnecessary, dispensable fear others free-ride on my effort (sucker effect) |
Reasons for team decision making | more vigilant about error more information access more varied alternatives more diverse perspectives better (pooled) memory |
Reasons against team decicsion making | less quick, less efficient, inhibits brainstorming politics of self-interest; members protect resources teams concentrate on majority, shared info too much; can lapse into “groupthink” |
Dialectic Inquiry | randomly split in rough halves, after teamdecides top two options; attack others’ option forces cognitive (good) type of conflict |
Storming | interpersonal state in which two or more parties see incompatible preferences for resource allocations, goals, taks, values, or prectivies |

distributive negotiation def | parties compete over fixed resource pool on limited issue dimensions -zero sum game -win-lose bargain -slice the cake -short term deals |
integrative negotiation def | parties compete and cooperate (create value) to acheive max joint bene -variable sum game -win win -expand pie -often complex longer term deals |
BANTA def | best alternative to negotiated agreement, fallback plann |
Reserve price | position on issue dimension that is the minimum |
ZOPA | zone of poss agreement, range of issue dimension between reserve prices, bargaining zone |
target price | goal or aspiration for position on issue dimension |
Negotiating DONTS | -focus solely on price (understand interest instead) -give into perceptual biases -display emotion (unless one off) -reward obstinance |
Negotiating DOS | -investigate other party BATNA (info asymmetry) -Concentrate on interests, not positions (interest is underlying motivation for negotiating) -focus on issues, not personalities -respond in kind (tit for tat on extreme offers) |
