The Plan • A Fair comparison??? • Military Teams • ANZCA Teamwork Curricula EMAC • Military Teamwork Curricula AMAC • Questionnaire/Interpretation The Big Five • Current areas of interest Resilience training/markers
A Fair Comparison? • ‘Team performance cannot be understood independently of the team’s organizational, work, and task environment’. Tannenbaum, S.I., Beard, R.L. & Salas, E. (1992). Team building and its influence on team effectiveness: an examination of conceptual and empirical developments. In K. Kelley (ed.), Issues, Theory, and Research in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Amsterdam: Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.
Military Teams • Organisational structure (the paradox of rank) • Just in case versus Always on • Training versus Real work • Constancy of teams • Duress of environment • Selection criteria
EMAC Manual • “Effective management of emergencies, particularly in aviation, is now recognised to hinge on the behavioural aspects of leadership and the interaction with a team. There is growing recognition that the surgical and anaesthetic staff in an operating room similarly work as a team, particularly during emergencies. EMAC focuses on the role of the anaesthetist as the leader of this team.” Brian Robinson Feb 2001 Introduction to First Edition
ANZCA EMAC ‘Teamwork’ Curricula • 2010 Instructor’s Manual • “Teamwork” 17 • Learning outcome “Declaring a crisis and calling for help, with effective leadership, teamwork, and communication.” • Goals of course HF background reading “Teamwork, communication and error recognition and management are a big part of the human factors experience” • “Team”7 ( in teamwork context) “Develop skills in working in a team”- “Co-ordinate management priorities and effective teambehaviours Allow team to allocate roles and consider preparatory actions” “…however emphasis placed on the teamapproach to major trauma” Incidence = 24
Interpretation • Groups become teams through disciplined action • Real teams are deeply committed to their purpose, goals, and approach. • ‘High performance’ Team members are also highly committed to one another. THE WISDOM OF TEAMS: Creating the High Performance Organization Jon Katzenbach ,Douglas Smith Harper Business 2000 Global Learning Communities Publications Vol.3 Issue 5
The Big Five! • Team leadership (direct and coordinate, assess, assign, motivate, establish a positive atmosphere, develop team KSAs ) • Mutual performance monitoring (develop common understandings to accurately monitor team mate performance) • Back up behaviour (ability to shift workload among members to achieve balance) • Adaptability/Flexibility (adjust strategies reallocation resources, or team repertoire) • Team/ Collective orientation (belief in the importance of team goal’s over individual member’s goals) C S Burke, E Salas, K Wilson-Donnelly, et al. Qual Saf Health Care 2004 13: i96-i104 • For over 30 years, military-sponsored research has advanced the state-of-the science by defining the essential components of teamwork (Salas et al) Jeffrey M.
