An educational workspace could be a school, university, or any team that works in the education, or training field.
This question addresses particularly t the educational manager but meets also any manager's interests.
Once upon a time, while I attend training about leadership, my mentor said to me: you have to create a team. I thought that I had a team, replied, and he said you don't have a team, you need to build it. At that time, I don't really understand what he meant. And I should continue with a group of coworkers and never had a team. When the team doesn't exist you have to fight for anything as collaboration, outcomes at the right time, sharing experiences, etc After three years, in a new office, I became again a team manager, but I didn't especially create this team, but I think I consolidate the team that I inherited from the circumstances. Nevertheless, I think I gave a good contribution not as large as the executive management who had the power to decide whether to recruit or not the profile that I suggest, but it matters.
So, I would like to get others' experiences to compare and reinforce my experience at work; also writing a scientific article.
The first thing is to recruit the best profile with appropriate competencies, motivation and a good behavior.
In education as elsewhere, coherence (and nothing else) will not suffice. The other relevant criteria are relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability (if sustainability is called for).
Hi Baqer; listen carefully to what your mentor said. As a team manager, you think you have a team no matter the situation. At the beginning you should think together with the people entrusted to you how to come together to be a real team. You can't decree that; that has to be worked out. In the next step, the procedures must be worked out in “teamwork”. A good example can be a Scrum team. There are thousands of references to this. Three of them show you what should be done. This works best in education. ResearchGate gives you for that a lot of information.
Building team work is a separate subject irrespective of nature of business or office. Education is no exception. In institutes normally subject experts are there. They are in departments .So at departmental level there is need for team work. To be able to work in a team, members have to share common vision or goals of organization , the supervisor or coordinator has to be friendly and cooperative and fair to all . Most often due to different cultural backgrounds and jealousy and rivalry teams cant perform. Ego is a big obstacle. Unless members of tam have clear goals communicated and their is enabling environment created by organization /boss, teams cant't function
Since the educational workplaces such as school, college, university and training institute are different based on the vastness, cultural dimension, number of working people, teamworking culture is also different in every workplace. So the creaking coherent team is contingent to various issues.
Making coherent team requires the utilization of potential of different team roles based on the capacity of team members and team leader’s influence with a rich cultural orientation in an appropriately designed workplace.
