DEFINITION OF TERM
Teamwork
Teamwork skills can be defined as a process conducted by members of the group to
achieve a goal yet so there is no fixed definition to describe the purpose of teamwork. This is
because, according to Chua and Lussier teamwork as the understanding and commitment
between all members of the team to achieve the objectives of the team itself. In addition, Francis
and Young also defines the work of the team as a group of people who are active, committed to
achieving the same goal, to work well and enjoy working in a team and produce high-quality
output. Michael A. West defines teamwork as a team formed among people for achieving the
goals of the organization. Greg L. Stewart, Charles C. Manz and Henry P. Sims Jr. said teamwork
is a reference to two or more individuals working together to achieve organizational goals.
Yeop Hussin said that team work is a collaboration between the manager or head of the
department responsible for planning and staff who carry out their responsibilities properly. This
is supplemented by Ab. Aziz said that teamwork is a combination of a number of individuals
who have competence interdependent both in terms of capability, expertise, skills and
knowledge. They each have accountability and commitment to the team's performance and are
ready to implement a challenging task. In addition, Devis and Newston said that teamwork is a
social process that is designed to get cooperation, participation and involvement of members of
an organization to achieve its goals. According to the conventional perspective teamwork refers
to a form of the composition of the work performed in the team for achieving the goals and
ambitions of an organization, association, departments, companies and bodies established for that
purpose.
Personality
In Latin personality is persona which means mask. Whereas, according to Kamus Dewan
Bahasa fourth edition of personality and individuality and character of a person means. Ryckman
also declare personality as a set of dynamic characteristics and planned owned by someone
uniquely affects his cognition, motivation, and behavior in various situations. Meanwhile,
Mahmood Nazar, said personality as one of the characteristics of the personality of the individual
and of course characterizes the difference of a human being with another human being. Related
personalities about what exactly that describes the person. Norman and Revelle (2005). Che Mah
& Mariani, (2001), explains that personality is the ability and cognitive intelligence among
students is often associated with an extroverted personality sociability, quickly issued an opinion,
friendly, creative and more open. The personality can be defined as an attitude, a behavior that
reflects who one is.
Teammates draw on the efforts of many contributors, they can often complete tasks and
activities in less time.
Promotes Social Interaction
Explores encourages you to get out of your comfort zone. Whether its being in an unfamiliar
area or being with an unfamiliar team, you are inspired to interact with your fellow team
members to ensure the teams objective is met. Since the competition of the race can be
exhilarating, youre even more prone to interact with your fellow team members to beat the other
teams.
Fosters Creativity and Learning
Creativity thrives when people work together on a team. Brainstorming ideas as a group
prevents stale viewpoints that often come out of working individually. Combining unique
perspectives from each team member creates more effective selling solutions. What you have
learned from your individual experiences is entirely different from your coworkers. Thus,
teamwork also maximizes shared knowledge in the workplace and helps you learn new skills you
can use for the rest of your career. Collaborating on a project creates an enthusiasm for learning
that solitary work usually lacks. Being able to share discoveries with the rest of your team
excites employees and fosters both individual and team knowledge.
Builds Trust
Relying on other people builds trust, and teamwork establishes strong relationships. Despite
occasional disagreements, an effective team enjoys working together and shares a strong bond.
When you put your trust in a team members, you are establishing the foundation of a relationship
that can endure minor conflicts. Trusting your teammates also provides a feeling of safety that
allows ideas to emerge. It helps employees open up and encourage each other. Open
communication is key when working on a team and produces effective solutions in difficult
group projects. Without trust, a team crumbles and cannot succeed on assigned projects. Great
teams build each other up and strengthen individual members to create a cohesive group. By
working together, teammates learn that wins and losses affect everyone on the team. Teamwork
necessitates confidence in each others distinct abilities.
Division of Work
One of the biggest advantages of working in a team is that there is most often an equal
division of labor so instead of having to look into all the aspects of a project individually, each
person merely has to deal with one aspect of it. Smaller tasks obviously require less time and
effort to complete so working in a team cuts down work load significantly. However working in
a team does not imply that you simply focus on your own part, your first priority is obviously
your individual task however once you have completed it, you could always be of some
assistance to someone else. When you are a part of a team you automatically learn how to work
in an unobtrusive and altruistic manner.
Shared Responsibility When Things Go Wrong
If for some reason the project fails, then a good team will stand by one another such that they
can jointly take responsibility and shoulder the blame. The best kinds of teams are those that are
united at all times no matter what. Those teams that resort to pointing fingers at one another
during times of crisis show a lack of team spirit. While working in a team each member should
always give his or her one hundred percent because when everyone gives his or her best then
only can the outcome be good, even the smallest of mistakes could cost the entire team.
Improves Communication Skills
For any team project to be a success it is vital that each team member communicates and
consults with the rest of the group such that no one feels in the dark about any decision made and
that everyone is in agreement. Even if you are working on the one aspect of the project that has
been assigned to you, it is important to make sure that you are constantly giving the rest of your
team mates updates pertaining to your progress at each stage. It is the responsibility of each
member to ensure that everyones work is running smoothly and that no person has been
burdened with excess amount of work.
10
is a clash of ideas and neither members are willing to compromise. Differences in methodology
are much easier to sort out as opposed to ideological differences.
12
like a valued part of the group as each student contributes to the project and shares the ideas that
will build confidence and self-esteem because a lot of students offer themselves to be a leader in
each checkpoint for explores.
In conclusion, we can conclude that the team work activities will be applied in teambuilding skills.
Personality ( Development )
As we all know personality development is one of the most important aspect in our life. It
can help in developing a positive attitude of life. For example, if the individual that have a
negative attitude will finds a problem in every situation. Whereas, for the individual that have
positive attitude will always remember that in every problem there will be the solution to solve
it. In this program, we have run the activities to develop positive attitude among the students.
The students will be having three activities as follow to improve their attitude and manage their
emotional:
1. Ice Breaking
2. Inventori Personaliti Warna
3. SWOT Analysis
By having good personality, it can help in developing a positive attitude and behaviour.
For instance, if the individual have a good personality development means they will have a good
motivation and spirit, so they can easily handle their problem and work easily. They dont have
any burden. We had already make research about that and we make activities about answering
Inventori Personaliti Warna and Swot Analysis to improve and show how to manage the
emotional.
Activity 1: Ice Breaking
Before they proceed with activity in groups, all form 3 students with UUM
student start the acquainted session. All students were given instructions to make
large circles. Meanwhile UUM students make a smaller circle in the bigger circle
formed by students of form 3. First, they introduced themselves by moving into a
14
circle direction, according to anti-clockwise and clockwise. Time given to them for
get acquainted is about 20 minutes only. We asked them to come up with group name
in 30 seconds inspired by Malaysian rock band. This task was succesfully done by
them in the given time. Most of the name reflects their interest in 90s band instead of
nowadays band. After that, they required to create a unique chant for their respective
group. All the group then have to know each other better including their fasilitator and
finished by several mini activities like massaging friends and broken phone which
focused on their alertness and ability to receive instructions. The main purpose of
these mini activities in ice breaking is to get them excited and to make they give their
full attention before proceed with our main slot. This session was lead by Danial
Azmi and the rest act as fasilitator.
Activity 2: Inventori Personaliti Warna
After completing all games from the explores, the programme continues by
doing
activities
in
groups
(LDK)
which
have
been
planned
before
out to
give chance
for
them
to
know their
personality through colour. Colours included is green, blue, orange and gold. A total
of 185 questions was given to them to be answered. The facilitator also helps the
students to understand the words that never been heard in the inventory. We took the
inventory form from Pusat Kaunseling UUM and as the facilitator, we will explain
to them about the question and how to fill the inventory. After they had settle answer
the inventory, each facilitator will make details explanation about the inventory and
based on my observation, they had given good feedback to us and they can
understand and know their truly personal character. Then they also can improve their
self. All of the form 3 students give a good commitment during activity was carried
out. One of the good feedback given by form three students is when one of the
representative from UUM students explaining about colour that found inside Inventori
Personaliti Warna. They can understand personal character through colour very well.
Due to the result of the colour they get, they will try to improve themselves towards a
better person. We can conclude that the result of the inventory depend on the
15
environment or place they answering it. For example if the place is comfortable for
them to answer, the result of the colour will be better. This slot was lead by Iqram
Halin and Syafikah Mohyi while the rest act as fasilitator.
they have to choose wisely because at the they are the one that will live with the
decision. This slot was conducted by Abdul Hakim and Nurazrina Azman while the
rest act as fasilitator.
Teamwork
The classroom doesnt have to be a solo learning adventure and it can also be
a collaborative learning. That is why we did a lot of activities such as explorace, ice
breaking, and personality & teamwork outside class. The activities can be beneficial
on a personal, group and class-wide-level. Team work is all about being able to
operate smoothly and efficiently within a group. Team work had been apply during
the explores game. Actually, based on my thought, this is a chance for the kids to
expand their critical thinking, work on patience and learn how to take turns. Of
course, that skill will be applied in a lot of works such as the group work and during
their learning discussion. The activities also will on a personal value because each
student can benefit on a personal value from teamwork example body language. They
can feel like a valued part of the group as each student contributes to the project and
shares the ideas, that will build confidence and self-esteem because a lot of students
offer themselves to be a leader in each checkpoint for explorace especially during
body language games. There will be a leader that guide the team to remember the
sentences and shared with other. In conclusion, we can conclude that the team work
activities will be applied in team-building skills.
Activity : Explores
Many equipments used in the explores games. We created several
games for the students to enjoy after having a stress week of their PT3
examination. Below are the games that the students played which we think can
17
enhance the teamwork in the students itself. These activities were conducted
by Aimi Izyan and Maslina Bahrun while the rest guarded the checkpoints.
Game 1 : Catching Balloons Filled With Waters
In this games there were given three kain pelikat. The
students have to divide their group into three small groups in order
to catch the balloons. Only three balloons were given to each
groups. The marks will be counted when the balloons were passed
by the representative from the group and safe by using the kain
pelikat. From this activity, it shows that the students have to make a
discussion before pursue the games. They have to communicate to
the person that is incharge which throw the balloons to the students
that catch the balloons by using kain pelikat.
Material used : Balloons, kain batik and a pail of tap water.
Game 2: Carrying The Ball With Hockey Stick
This game was called bawa bola ping pong menggunakan
empat batang kayu hoki. During that game, the students will form
a group, then social skills into action. The team of students must
actively listen to each other, must learn to work together and
cooperate to success in that game.
Material used: Hockey sticks and ping pong balls
Game 3: Spinning Football
Six students from each group was choosen to kick the ball
after make a spin for 10 times. While the other members required to
give support to the kickers. The spin make it hard for them to kick
the ball properly thus a huge support is needed to make them focus
in order to kick the ball. We can see that a few students laugh at
their friends and this is unacceptable when at that time their friends
need their support. We tried to apply the spirit of unity among
themselves.
Material used : Soccer balls and cones
18
CONCLUSION
This program is an effort of students of Seminar in Management Thinking (BPMN 3013)
to establish a spirit of cooperation and teamwork among students. It is also to ensure that all
students stay focused and motivated in carrying out daily activities. Additionally, the program
will strengthen the bond and teamwork between UUM students. The program also get a positive
feedback from PT3 students of SMK Bandar Baru Darul Aman,Jitra. This is because they really
get some input from us with some slots given to them.
On the other hand, some improvement need to be further enhanced especially a discipline
of the students should be control in order to ensure the program was succeed. In a coconut shell,
the program was succeed as expected. In fact, all the participants were very active in every slot
and give a good cooperation.
