Team building and Team cohesion?

Ability to identify and motivate individual employees

to form a team that stays together, works together,

and achieves together.

Team cohesion is the ability to work together to

achieve their goal and enjoy workingtogether as a team.



Belbin; team role theoryIn the 1970s, Dr Meredith Belbin observed the

differences in how peoples roles influence theteam.

9 team roles

Plant, Monitor evaluator, co-ordinator, resource

investigator, completer finisher,

implementers, team workers, shapers,

specialist.



Tuckman; stages of team development

Bruce Tuckman in 1965 published the most commonteam work theory, Tuckman spoke of how a new team

will and progress.



New recruits are put to the test and are given a

scenario and are told to solve the task,

while the new teams are in progress with the task set

officers and instructors are observing the recruits to

indentify who are the natural leaders in the group.



After secondary phase of training the new recruit has

been accepted and now is thrown in at the deep end

again as they are introduced to their trade or

specialist team, which is going to include experienced

personnel who work quickly and efficiently to get the job done.



In the Army it is important for all new recruits to learn

how to work together as a team because, training

officers will not tolerate new recruits acting like

civilians in military surroundings. The purpose of

phase one training is it prepares recruits for the

lifestyle and sense of mind that is going to help the

newly formed team realise their goals and work

together efficiently to achieve theirgoals.

Good and Poor cohesion scenarioA group of Royal Irish

Rangers are on patrol inheavily armed WMIK

(Weapons Mount

Installation Kit) Land Rovers

when they were captured by

a ruthless

gang of rebels,

known asThe West Side

Boys'.

A group of 8 Squadies from

the first Yorkshire battalion,

Yorkshire regiment have been

selected to carry out a covert

operation to rescue the

captured soldiers.



Good outcomeThe ideal out come is; the Royal Irish Rangers are

rescued with no casualties on our side.

The rebel leaders is neutralised and rebel

followers disperse. Also we capture the rebels

weapons preventing further use by the rebels

against our forces.

And we manage to return with the

capture men without causing further

difficulty.



Poor outcome

The poor outcome would be; our Squadies get

captured and possibly killed, the Rebels use our

weapons against friendly forces.

We may lose possession of our armouredvehicle, fv430 bulldog and other necessary

equipment.



In conclusion

In phase 1 the newly formed teams are

more likely to go through the storming

phase.However when phase 1 comes to an end, the

teams will be going through the

performing and norming stage whenon the passing out parade.

Summary of the RM – who are they and what do they do?

How do they develop teamwork during basic training?

Specialist Skills – how does it improve team cohesion?

Tuckman – who is he?

Belbin – who is he?

Why do we need good team cohesion?

Impact of good/poor team cohesion.

Example of good/poor team cohesion.

Any Questions?



Who are the Royal Marines?

They are a marine corps and the amphibious infantry of the UK, they alsowork alongside the Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary as part of the NavalService.

What is the role of the Royal Marines?

Their role is to be flexible and versatile, they are expected to be deployed ata moments notice. The training to become a Royal Marine is the longest andhardest in the world and they are trained for combat in any type of weather or

terrain. They are highly skilled and are an elite force that gets thing done!



In the 32 weeks basic training, Royal Marines undergo many challenges andactivities that demonstrate and improve teamwork skills.

Exercises such as drill, comms, survival and navigation all require good

teamwork to work efficiently to complete objectives.

Drill – how does it build teamwork?How does it benefit the team and individual?

Comms – how does it improve teamwork?How does it effect the team’s relationship?

Survival – skills beneficial to a team?

Navigation – how it improves skills required in ateam?



The Royal Marines offer varied roles within the force and some of theseroles are a swimmer canoeist, signaller, recon operator and commstechnician.

Every skill that a Marine can specialise in is vital to a team. For a team to

be efficient and effective, it needs to be diverse and have individuals thatoperate in different areas and assist others in their role.



For example, the 4 skills mentioned previously all assist eachother in different ways and this makes the team efficient and

effective in all areas.

A signaller provides communications from land sea and air,this skill combined with recon operators provides a detailedmap and precise communications for swimmer canoeists to

complete a mission.



Who is he and what did he do?

Bruce Tuckman is an American psychologist who researched into the theoryof how groups worked, he did this by publishing his theory which was calledthe “Tuckman’s stages”.

There were 4 stages in Tuckman’s theory:

Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing. He later on added a fifth stagecalled Adjourning.



Who is he and what did he do?

Meredith Belbin graduated in psychology at Clare college in Cambridge. In the1970’s a question was asked, “What makes some teams succeed, and

others fail?”

In the 1970’s, Belbin and his researchers set out to observe teams and

individual roles within them. They found that the success or failure of a teamwas not due to intellect, but their behaviour.

Belbin’s theory consisted of 9 teamroles and how each role operated within

a team!



G d T C h i P T C h i



Good Team Cohesion Poor Team Cohesion

Makes the team more efficient –

structured.

Better understanding of how eachteam member works.

Each member is accounted for andhas their own input.

Know how to help each other whensomeone is feeling low.

Team pride – don’t want to let your

team down or yourself.

Uncooperative.

Don’t know each other that well.

Little respect for each other.

Poor communication between theteam.



Scenario

Pirates have taken a person hostage and want a ransom. The RoyalMarines have been sent in to resolve the situation by any means necessary

and to bring back the hostage alive.There are five pirates on board the ship and the Royal Marine team consistsof eight men.

Results of Poor Team Cohesion Results of Good Team Cohesion



Results of Poor Team Cohesion Results of Good Team Cohesion

In the scenario, a team with poorcohesion would be unsuccessful incompleting their mission.

This is because each member wouldnot know each other’s roles and how

to cooperate effectively and efficiently.

This would result in the team boardingthe ship with lack of communicationand organisation which would lead toconfusion as to who did what.

In the scenario, a team with goodcohesion would successfully completethis mission.

This would be due to good planningand prep skills which would thenbenefit them when starting the

mission. Each member would knowhow everyone operates and how theirspecialisations can be put to use inorder to complete the missionefficiently and without confusion.



In conclusion, during the early stages of basic training, team cohesion willbe not as good as it will be when it comes to the final stages of the training.

When the teams are first brought together, they will be forming andstorming and as they progress through training and spend more timetogether, they will be norming and performing.
