Team work can significantly help an organization since it promotes, cohesiveness, innovation, and
joint as well as mutual problem solving. However, managing teams also brings about challenges which
may have an effect on the success of an organization. By critically evaluating these challenges one can
understand how it is to work in a team and the measures that need to be taken to avoid such
incidences from happening. Of them one of the crucial issues is communication management within
the framework of teaming. 1Lack of interaction or poor one can create confusion, poor productivity
and rivalry among people working in a team. For instance in a project that does not have defined roles
and responsibilities for a project team, the members may end in doing the same work or omit
important tasks hence causing delays or frustrations in the completion of the project. This issue
should therefore be attended to by proper communication plan which includes for example holding
meetings in teams, writing down task and duties. The other challenge is the likelihood of inter-and
intra group conflict. There are also disagreements due to differing working approaches, or personal
enmity within the VLCs. To illustrate, in the marketing team of a firm, a clash between innovative and
data-oriented personalities will be counterproductive if not well addressed. These conflicts if not well
handled can really affect the morale of the participants and also the performance of the team as a
whole. It is also important that the students understand conflicts and know how to approach them,
and by creating strategies that promote conflict resolution strategies, should be enforced. There is
also the issue of, team conditions and individual achievement rates as well which is quite a thorny
issue. Diverse most of the time is diverse and therefore comes with strengths such as perspectives
and skills but it also has its pullbacks, for instance, there might be times when it is really hard for a
group with a diverse work force to make sure that they are working in the same direction thus
achieving the set goals and objectives. For example, a team where employees come from different
cultural backgrounds will find it tricky to work as a team since they will be from different countries,
therefore, they shall have different expectations and channels of communication. Managers must
identify and build on the positive aspects of the individuals within his or her team, knows the
limitations of those strengths, and try to eliminate or work around them.2
