Analysis of Team Charter

In order to establish a learning team and work effectively together, the learning team should get to know each other personally and how each team member works professionally. A quick method of getting to know each team member in these areas is by discussing self-assessments’ analysis, which help show each team members’ skills, abilities, and interests. Once discussed, the learning team creates a learning team charter (LTC) that states the team’s mission in which each team member can reflect on to improve performance. This paper will explain how the LTC emphasizes delegating, listening, and time management as some of the beginning factors for high performance.

Learning Team Charter

“Chartering is the procedure by which a team meets at the beginning of its process to describe its mission or task, set its goals, secure commitment by members to the achievement of those goals, make its plans, and allocate its resources (University of Phoenix, 2004, pg. 7).

This member will be very beneficial to the team because she is very dependable and will make sure the tasks are performed consistently and effectively. This member will also make sure that the assignments are perfect, formatting and sources are sited. The team performance will be at best by delegating proper tasks to those members with the skills and personality to handle the tasks naturally, without conflict.

Listening

Listening may seem to be a simple skill however, listening is a challenging skill. Clearly, each team member has room for improvement in his or her listing skills. Listing skills can be improved by implementing active and reflective listening. Active listening occurs when the listener devotes his full attention to the speaker and genuinely cares for what the other person is saying (Huget, 2007, pg. 1). Active listing
