Are You a Team Player?

It may seem like a contradiction, but you can view yourself as a team player and still impede your team's ability to function successfully. Consider one team that I observed during a problem-solving session. The group had about four hours to try to come up with a solution.

Moments after the group gathered, a personable, outgoing fellow volunteered to facilitate the group's effort; at that, he jumped up and positioned himself at the flipchart, marker in hand ready to take notes. This chap had previously told me with pride that he was a team player, and he truly saw himself as one. He wanted his team to succeed and was highly motivated to contribute to their shared effort.

But once at the flipchart, he did as much to obstruct the team effort as to support it: For example, he dismissed several ideas that differed from his own, and discounted some suggestions without trying to understand the reasoning behind them. He seemed unfazed when several people spoke simultaneously. As the effort proceeded, he failed to notice expressions of annoyance on the faces of some team members - or if he noticed, he did nothing about them.

This fellow's heart was in the right place. He was a team player. How could it be otherwise, given how strenuously he wanted the team to succeed. Yet from the way he worked, it was as if he'd been directed to see how many ways he could come up with to make the problem harder to solve than it actually was.

The same was true of other participants - team players all. For example, one participant stated that she was good at listening to many simultaneous speakers; then moments later, she misstated a key point one of them had just made. Another said he'd support any solution, as long as the session ended quickly. Then he continually inserted ideas that prolonged the discussion. None seemed aware of how their behavior was counteracting the very success they wanted the team to achieve. Under the pressure of time, they acted in a manner that ensured their effort would need more time rather than less.

The mark of a successful team is not just that it achieves a successful outcome, but that team members enjoy working together and would be happy to continue doing so.

A team that destroys itself in the course of accomplishing its mission is no team at all. Even if everyone is a team player.

Tesla, Nikola

(July 9/10, 1856, Smiljan, Croatia--d. Jan. 7, 1943, New York City), Serbian-American inventor and researcher who discovered the rotating magnetic field, the basis of most alternating-current machinery. 

He emigrated to the United States in 1884 and sold the patent rights to his system of alternating-current dynamos, transformers, and motors to George Westinghouse the following year. In 1891 he invented the Tesla coil, an induction coil widely used in radio technology.

Tesla was from a family of Serbian origin. His father was an Orthodox priest; his mother was unschooled but highly intelligent. A dreamer with a poetic touch, as he matured Tesla added to these earlier qualities those of self-discipline and a desire for precision.

Training for an engineering career, he attended the Technical University at Graz, Austria, and the University of Prague. At Graz he first saw the Gramme dynamo, which operated as a generator and, when reversed, became an electric motor, and he conceived a way to use alternating current to advantage. Later, at Budapest, he visualized the principle of the rotating magnetic field and developed plans for an induction motor that would become his first step toward the successful utilization of alternating current.

In 1882 Tesla went to work in Paris for the Continental Edison Company, and, while on assignment to Strassburg in 1883, he constructed, in after-work hours, his first induction motor.  Tesla sailed for America in 1884, arriving in New York, with four cents in his pocket, a few of his own poems, and calculations for a flying machine. He first found employment with Thomas Edison, but the two inventors were far apart in background and methods, and their separation was inevitable.

In May 1885, George Westinghouse, head of the Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh, bought the patent rights to Tesla's polyphase system of alternating-current dynamos, transformers, and motors. The transaction precipitated a titanic power struggle between Edison's direct-current systems and the Tesla-Westinghouse alternating-current approach, which eventually won out.

Tesla gave exhibitions in his laboratory in which he lighted lamps without wires by allowing electricity to flow through his body, to allay fears of alternating current. He was often invited to lecture at home and abroad. The Tesla coil, which he invented in 1891, is widely used today in radio and television sets and other electronic equipment. That year also marked the date of Tesla's United States citizenship.

In 1898 Tesla announced his invention of a teleautomatic boat guided by remote control. When skepticism was voiced, Tesla proved his claims for it before a crowd in Madison Square Garden.

How to Select Project Management Software

Selecting a project management software for your projects takes work, planning, and careful strategy. All too often project management software and the project management software selection process is grossly oversimplified. There are many factors to be considered when selecting project management software and, although those factors vary in details from project to project, there are standard considerations to keep in mind regardless of the project or industry.

Often a project management software company will sell a project management software without truly understanding why the organization needs the project management software and what problems the company expects to solve in using project management software. These situations often result in a project manager purchasing a project management software and then later discovering that certain of project management requirements were not addressed and not easily solved using the selected project management software. The project management software at that point has a shelf life with the company while project managers start to develop a strategy of how to cover the additional overlooked requirements. A similar situation happens when the project or company changes business practices, scales up, or scales down in volume, and the selected project management software is unable to grow or change to accompany the changing project management business requirements.

How does a project manager work within their organization to plan out the project management software selection process and get the most out of the project management software? The answers:

•Collaboration and awareness of interdepartmental project and dependencies

•Detailed analysis of project management issues that arose within existing and historical projects

•Proposed resolution list of project management issues

•Understanding of company policy and contracts as to leveraged both to improve project management

•Understand what motivates those participating in project management to perform

•Understand what discourages those participating in project management from performing

•Document existing project management steps into some logical work flow

•Map out a reward-driven project management system that rewards those following the project management process.

•Involve those responsible for Accounting and Information Technology as to understand project software integration needs.

Unidad III Aproximacion al Texto

Born Feb. 11, 1847, Milan, Ohio, U.S.—died Oct. 18, 1931, West Orange, N.J.) American inventor who, singly or jointly, held a world record 1,093 patents. In addition, he created the world's first industrial research laboratory.

Edison was the quintessential American inventor in the era of Yankee ingenuity. He began his career in 1863, in the adolescence of the telegraph industry, when virtually the only source of electricity was primitive batteries putting out a low-voltage current. Before he died, in 1931, he had played a critical role in introducing the modern age of electricity. From his laboratories and workshops emanated the phonograph, the carbon-button transmitter for the telephone speaker and microphone, the incandescent lamp, a revolutionary generator of unprecedented efficiency, the first commercial electric light and power system, an experimental electric railroad, and key elements of motion-picture apparatus, as well as a host of other inventions.

Edison was the seventh and last child—the fourth surviving—of Samuel Edison, Jr., and Nancy Elliot Edison. At an early age he developed hearing problems, which have been variously attributed but were most likely due to a familial tendency to mastoiditis. Whatever the cause, Edison's deafness strongly influenced his behaviour and career, providing the motivation for many of his inventions.

Resolving Project Team Conflicts

Conflicts on project teams are a fact of life! Only on rare occasions do conflicts not arise - even on the smallest projects conflicts rear their ugly heads! It's human nature to have conflicts and it arises for any number of reasons, including:

    * Misunderstandings.

    * Personality clashes.

    * Disagreements about the right way to approach a problem.

    * Egos.

As a project manager, part of your responsibilities includes managing conflicts on the project team. The best way to manage a conflict is to ensure that the parties involved in the conflict are the ones developing the solution. You can't resolve it for them; they have to come to agreement on how to resolve the conflict themselves.

Bear in mind that sometimes a conflict cannot be resolved. For example, you may have two individuals on the project team that just are not going to get along no matter what - too much has happened between them. If you can't help them resolve their conflict, they must, at the very least, work together professionally for the good of the team and the project. Your job in this case, then is to help them figure out how they are going to get through this project being cordial and professional with each other.

Here are some suggestions to get you moving in the right direction:

  Schedule a first meeting with the individuals who are having the conflict to   discuss:

          What is (are) the issue(s)? Get it all out on the table - let them vent.

          What are their perspectives?

          Work with the parties to develop criteria for solutions to their conflict.

        

 Ask them to think about what they can do to get past the issue, or put it aside, based on the criteria for resolution they agreed to, in order to move forward with working together. What alternatives exist? This should happen overnight - let them sleep on it.
