Colorado State University: Global Campus Team Improvement Plan

Your supervisor assigned you to a self-managed team. For the past few months, the team has been struggling with communication and missed deadlines.

Thus, three targeted areas of improvement need to be addressed:

1. Improved communication patterns,
2. Improved motivational techniques, and
3. Control systems to support the on-time completion of the team’s assigned tasks.

For your assignment:

• Create a plan addressing these three areas to remedy the team’s challenges. In your plan include how each of the four primary functions of managers will contribute to remedying the team’s challenges.
• After creating the plan, design your process for introducing this plan to your team.
• Consider how you will address possible team member resistance using your knowledge of change management processes to build relationships within the team and support these changes and the team’s success.
