Team-Building in Quality Circles.
Bacon, Mary Montle
This monograph's purpose is to provide a basis for team development for quality circle groups involved in problem-solving and decision-making. Training group members in team building is a crucial factor for success in quality circles. The following are important needs for group members: a sense of belonging, a commitment to group goals, a sense of progress, clarity of expectations, and confidence in the leadership. The author focuses on three aspects of team building: (1) the atmosphere and the climate; (2) the trust and support levels; and (3) the task focus of the group. A series of 24 activities designed specifically to address these three aspects of team building are presented in the monograph along with discussion of the purpose of each activity and general instructions for presentation and evaluation. The appendixes include the list of activities, additional resource materials, and a bibliography. (MD)
