Answer:
Forming
On the first day of group formation, slight unhappiness was seen amongst Hemant and Irfan over other team members, especially Martha and Obi because of some personal differences. Otherwise, Osama and I were being social, interacting with all the group members except Obi who was shy and a bit of an introvert. It took us a while to settle down and gell as a team. Hemant and Irfan, due to the fact that they knew each already, were very close and wanted things their way which was not always accepted by the rest of the team.
Storming
As the group progressed, it was visible Hemant and Martha were the frontrunners as far as brain storming was concerned. A whiff of group politics was emerging amongst the two for control. To avoid any further conflicts, Osama nominated me to be the group leader because of my experience as a team leader in other coursework projects and qualities such as decisiveness, good listening and communication skills to which all the group members agreed. After discussing the roles for the expedition, everyone chose what suited them best because of their experience and understanding for the particular role without any severe disagreements.
Conflict: When a handout relating to all the roles with the task associated with them were handed to the team members by me, Martha gave her views over changing her responsibilities and task. This would have affected the whole plan and resulted in others raising their voices to change tasks associated with their roles. The way Martha asked me to change aspects of her tasks, was blunt and in a way insulting too. To which I lost my patience and had an argument. I had to dig deep and use my experience in leadership to avoid what could have been a damaging impact on the team. The next day I apologised to all for my rude behaviour I then drew up certain rules regarding Respect, Recognition and Patience so that the same incident never takes place again. This was when I bonded with group really well and made sure the morale of the other group members was kept high.
Norming
After everyone’s agreement, Hemant opted to be the reporter and photographer because of his interest in the media, Martha and Osama becoming the lead climbers, Obi who has a certificate in first aid became the “doctor” for our group, Irfan to be the lead Sherpa because he was used to the conditions and culture of Nepal where Mt. Everest is situated. The group agreed for me to be the leader because of my previous experience of leading groups and better understanding of how to make teams work efficiently.
Performing
At the performing stage, all the team members were highly motivated and working well. McGregor’s (1960) Theory X and Y says the people who are lazy and not motivated and determined are X and ones who are self motivated and willing to work and achieve a goal are Y. We as a team were Y as all were willing to work and were focused towards achievement of the objective. Various debating sessions over the expedition topics such as what is the best time to climb, which route to take for the climb helped to look into various aspects while climbing and supporting the lead climbers. It was at this stage where a few members needed a push because of drop in motivation which was taken care off by an inspiring speech given by me to ensure all the team members were focused on achieving group goal. High levels of productivity were seen amongst group members with everyone being committed and enthusiastic, delivering results such as timely procurement of required materials
Roles and Responsibilities of each Member
Roles were taken up the member themselves as per their expertise and responsibilities and tasks according to the roles were given. Refer to Appendix- I for the same.
Team Roles
Famous author ‘Meredith Belbin’ (1981) developed the idea about different roles played by members in a team.
Based on the above said roles our team can be categorized as:
The team members chose to perform these roles because of their past experiences and expertise in those areas. Obi had a medical practioner certificate which made him be a doctor for our team. My name was given for the team leader because of the past experiences as well. Before the expedition all of us, in order to comply with certain rules and safety measures had to get health checkups done and certain other formalities such as getting visa’s, travel documents etc. The flight booking for our trip from London to Nepal via Delhi were done by me. The climbing equipments and shelters such as visors, roles, hammers, ladders, helmets, torches, hand gloves etc were bought by the Osama and Martha as they had the experience of such expeditions before. Medical items and other miscellaneous items relating to health issues were procured by Obi and Irfan. Hemant and I were responsible for communication gadgets such as satellite phones, cameras etc. Irfan, booked our accommodation because he knew the territory better than anyone else.
