PART A – The Problem-Solving Roles of Participant Used in the Decision-Making Process
The Roles and Behaviours Used While Problem Solving
1 (a)Describe the four main roles (which are specific and relevant managerial behaviors) you yourself undertook while you worked toward solving the problem in this assignment. These roles should be based on those identified by a well-known management behavioral theorist such as Belbin or Mintzberg. Provide an example of you undertaking each of these four roles
I undertook several roles as outlined by Belbin. These roles include plant, teamwork, coordinator, and implementer.
The first role is Plant. According to this role, an individual ought to be creative, unorthodox, and imaginative. The person should have a high capability in solving complex problems. I helped my team members solve challenging problems while writing the report. I helped our team leader make critical decisions.
The second role is teamwork. This role requires a person to be cooperative in the team and diplomatic. In our group, I ensured to positively contribute to any ideas that needed brainstorming. I helped build the group member's thinking capacities, which enabled us to write a reliable report.
I also played the role of a coordinator. The role requires a person to promote the decision-making process by clarifying goals. On various occasions, I assisted the team leader in making important decisions.
The last role I played is that of an implementer. This goal requires a person to turn different ideas into action and be disciplined. I was disciplined throughout the research and obeyed the instructions given by the team leader.
2 (a)Critique (judge whether you did it well or not) the effectiveness of you undertaking these roles you yourself undertook (you described in 1 (a) above). In other words, for each role, describe how you could improve in the future.
Plant- I think I could improve this role by being more imaginative. Solving business problems requires an individual to think beyond the solution at hand. Such would enable them to create better solutions to the problem. This requires the person to be extremely imaginative.
Teamwork- I would improve this role by being more cooperative with team members in the future. During the research, I might have considered my points to be the best fit for the report. I would improve my teamwork capabilities by appreciating other people's contributions to the group.
Coordinator- I do not think that I can make the perfect group leader. During the research, I helped the leader with critical information that helped create a reliable paper. I would improve this role by becoming a better person at clarifying goals.
Implementor- I think I can improve this role by being more disciplined in the future.
And
(b)Identify and explain four roles each other person in the group undertook and judge that person's effectiveness at undertaking those group roles.
