Introduction
This essay expresses the Importance of affinity and commitment in the formation of work teams from the point of view of the movie the wheel of fortune.
Work teams are essential in order to propel an organization to success or failure, which is why their training is essential for each piece to mesh and function like clockwise, and all aimed at achieving the objectives that the organization pursues..
In this sense, forming a group in order to empathize each of its members and to commit to achieving goals and objectives is basic, for this the ability of senior management is key both for the formation of the team and for creating an environment conducive to this phenomenon occurring and thereby achieving commitment from each member.
As shown in the movie, the Wheel of Fortune, which formed a team of apparently losers who had no place in another team or who were substitutes, but in the formation of the team, abilities, affinity were analyzed and they formed a little machine with a common objective..
Background
From prehistoric times, man, out of necessity for subsistence, had the need to group with other people and since then they formed groups, over the years these groups consolidated until they formed a small society, however, although they work together, each pursued his own objectives, for which prosperity was very little since they did not make a common front that allowed them to develop themselves.
The study of the work teams in the organization began in the 1920s, the groups in the organizations began to be studied. Elton Mayo carried out an investigation on how the work groups behaved, the motivation of lighting was analyzed as one of the factors for the performance of people in work teams
A work team is a strong structure that seeks the greatest benefits for each of its members and for the organization.
Definitions
Work Teams: It is a group of people who work together or in collaboration with the same objective
Empathy: The intellectual capacity of a person to experience the way another person feels is described; Later, this can lead to a better understanding of their behavior or their way of making decisions.
It is the ability to understand the needs, feelings and problems of others, putting yourself in their place, and responding correctly to their emotional reactions.
People with empathy are those capable of listening to others and understanding their problems and motivations; therefore, they usually have high social recognition and popularity, since they anticipate needs, even before their peers are aware of them, and they know how to identify and take advantage of the communication opportunities that other people offer them.
Affinity
The term affinity (from the Latin affinĭtas) refers to the attraction or adaptation of characters, opinions, tastes or other circumstances that exist between two or more people.
On the other hand, another important element in work teams is the concept of commitment that refers to Responsibility.
Commitment
A committed worker is a person who is fully involved in and enthusiastic about his work. When you have the opportunity, you act in a way that is beyond the interests of your organization.
Development of the topic
Look carefully at the movie "The Wheel of Fortune" and you will surely clear the doubts of the importance of empathy, affinity and commitment to the achievement of objectives in the formation of the work team, and ask yourself a question
What is more important in the formation of a work team are the super stars who dazzle with their ability in certain things or people with special abilities that fit and match with a visionary leader and a related group that seek a single objective by working in equipment?
An organization, whatever the turn, must be clear about its mission, vision and objective, it is the first step to form a strong and consolidated organization.
Today the globalized world in which we currently live, in which free competition is the greatest force in world trade, and in which technological means is one of the strongest weapons for the emergence of an organization, many of They have neglected some of the fundamental points, which is the human factor, although it is true that having modern and cutting-edge equipment allows organizations to compete for the positioning of their company.
For this reason, many companies, despite having great equipment, have suffered great setbacks due to the lack of trained personnel, but above all, a staff that feels part of the organization with the commitment to do their best to achieve the objectives. Due to various factors, senior management generally thinks it is primarily for financial compensation.
However, this is uncertain because it is not always so, many times this happens due to the lack of empathy of the leader who does not have common sense to understand what the subordinate needs, another factor is the lack of empathy in the team members. To say that you simply do not have a common goal defined, and with it the commitment of people is simply impossible.
In this sense, it is important for the team to analyze these three key points, that is, the leader has a broad vision and understands what are the things that each of the team members needs to develop their capacity to the maximum, Many occasions are things that seem inconsequential but for the team it is important.
As is the case of the movie the Game of Fortune where there is a dialogue that one of the members of that team says: "I do not understand why if I am part of the baseball team and wear the uniform with the logo of the refreshing sponsor because I have to pay for the drink in the soda machine.
The manager, in order to create a good atmosphere, asked his sponsor to give free drinks and with that, he calmed down one of the annoyances of that team in something that seemed to be irrelevant.
Another of the fundamental points is to form a team with affinity, it has been shown that having affinity does not mean that all people will be the same, that is, that they like the same type of music, that they dress the same, that they have the same religion, On the contrary, being able to collaborate totally contrary to you, generally gives a much better work environment, the key to this is to convince them that they understand the objective pursued by the organization so that all their efforts focus on it, because they do according to what has already been established. It will be for the benefit of the team of the objective that it pursues and consequently to it.
And the most complicated factor is perhaps commitment, because according to our Latin culture, commitment is difficult to assume with the members of a team since they generally do not want to assume that responsibility and always seek to delegate responsibility to the one next door. so as not to have to take the risk.
In the movie "The Wheel of Fortune" the manager talks to the team leader and says: "You are a key part of the team because of your experience, your prestige and your character, your teammates follow you, we both need each other therefore I I would like to make an agreement with you, if you commit to the team and fulfill the functions that correspond to you in the field, I will fulfill by improving your contract ”, of the above, both committed, thus achieving the commitment of the leader within the field that promoted this team successful in achieving their goal which was to win.
However, for a team to be able to exist, this point is key since if it is, the achievement of the objective is impossible, therefore it must be a skill of senior management to find the mechanisms to ensure that each member of a team understands the responsibility. that he has as part of him, that his work is key to engaging that of the rest of his colleagues, and that if he does not act responsibly, he will fail to meet the objectives, so that the belief you believe in your leaders and in what is is doing is h. Explanatory notes or bibliographical references. It is optional if they are presented at the end of the essay body or at the foot of the page each time it is required.
conclusion
The organizational work teams are of vital importance for their operation that each piece assembles and contributes what it has to contribute, that each part is clear about the role it plays so that tasks that the leader of this team do not duplicate for This is why he must know the members of his team, know their needs, create a favorable environment that supports and helps the development of the activities of his collaborators, that each member of the team has a clear mission, vision and objective so that they can do them. yours and commit to them and thus make a single indestructible block with such a force that drives success.
