Create a 1–2 page plan for your team that meets the following requirements:
State your team’s purpose. This purpose should make clear the team’s shared goal, what the team does, for whom, and why.
Example: We produce financial reports so our customers can receive timely, quality investment information.
Explain the specific roles you will need and what each will be responsible for. Describe the responsibilities of the role, including the types of tasks the team member performs. Remember to include yourself as the team leader. Your team can be no larger than 5–7 people.
As an example, you, as a leader, might opt to have a Business Analyst (BA) as a member of the team.
The Business Analyst would run reports, present an analysis of the data, and share findings with the leader and/or team.
The Business Analyst would work with the team leader to provide data and analysis about the new product or service.
What are the skills and/or traits you have identified each role will require, and why are those critical?
Continuing with the Business Analyst example: The analyst must have strong analytical ability and be great at using creativity, reasoning, and past experiences to identify and solve problems effectively.
A trait that is important for this role includes being detail-oriented and focused.
Additionally, technical literacy is important as the BA must be proficient with basic computer skills.
The BA must possess the ability to work well in one or more groups and bring out the best in others (teamwork skills) and outcomes.
Identify and describe three strategies a team leader could use to ensure the effectiveness of their team and why those are important to foster.

Imagine you’re looking for new team members to join your team (this could be a work, volunteer, or religious organization).
After reviewing Coach’s tips for hiring the best players for your team, which ones would you use to help find the right candidates? Why?
Respond to classmate Stephen Hello Professor and Classmates when I was working at my last job called Zaxby’s as a cook and doing other things as needed around the restaurant. I had to make sure orders were complete, got them out quickly and gave good customer service as well. When looking at coach’s tips for hiring the best player for the team I looked how it could relate to me and my current job and finding the right candidate. One I feel that is right is teamwork and being efficient with the team. Being able to solve issue, communicate and work together with people that are not like you. By using the tips the the coach has explained and reforming to fit in my situation’s it helped in staying on job at Zaxby’s as long as I did because there was alot if stuff that would happens.
