15. Explain how motivation assists in the management of individuals and teams at work.
It is important that employees feel they have support, and that they have somebody they can
turn to if they have questions or concerns about their learning. The promotion of coaching and
mentoring in an organisation enables employees to receive candid feedback and debriefing.
Employees also benefit from knowing they have someone who is interested in their progress
and can support them with problems.
16. Identify two theories of motivation and how this applies to managing individuals and teams.
1. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Individuals: Address needs at different levels, provide a supportive environment, recognize
achievements, and offer growth opportunities.
Teams: Foster cooperation, support, and recognition to enhance motivation and team
cohesion.
2. Expectancy Theory
Page 11 of 46
SITXHRM009 Lead and manage people
Individuals: Set clear goals, link effort to performance and rewards, and understand individual
preferences for rewards.
Teams: Establish attainable team goals, provide support and resources, and reinforce the
connection between performance and rewards.
17. Explain how group dynamics can impact on successful team management.
Team Dynamics defined as the motivating forces that propel a team towards its goal and
mission.
Team dynamics are observed by the interplay of the team member, the task the team is
completing, and the team as a whole .
“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” – Leo Tolstoy,
Anna Karenina
There’s a lot of research regarding what works in team building and team dynamics. The
challenge is using what works for the team at that time.
The list below highlights some things that happy and productive teams share. Through the
team
Dynamics, you can better connect work works and what is not working to support the team’s
progress.
18. Describe how each of the following recognition and rewards can assist with effective
leadership of staff.
a) acknowledging individual good performance to the whole team
Promote from within. One of the advantages of training is having employees who are ready for
a bigger role. Announce an internal job posting to encourage employees to gain knowledge.
b) incentive initiatives
Incentive initiatives provide motivation and recognition for good performance, leading to
increased job satisfaction, motivation, retention rates, and overall performance. They also
foster healthy competition and can be an effective tool for recognizing and rewarding
employees for their hard work and achievements.

Activities
Complete the following activities.
You are the manager of a busy café within the Blue Healer Hotel and Spa. Apart
from you and the owner, there is a full-time chef named Navneet, two sou chefs,
two part-time kitchen porters and casual wait staff employed. The casual wait staff
are from the local area and are mostly university students or high school students
working part-time shifts. The team is tight knit and work well together. The casual
wait staff visit the café socially sometimes and the culture is one of sharing and
helping each other out when needed.
The café’s vision is to be the most popular café within the local region renowned for
its amazing local food and service and vibrant atmosphere.
Its mission is to grow the café and its popularity by strong leadership, sound
communication and the provision of a clear strategic direction that ensures it’s a
great place for staff to work; it provides food and beverages that the public wants
with a focus on local produce and sustainable practices; and it becomes known for
its vibe and atmosphere.
Values listed in its Strategic Plan include:
Operating with trust and integrity with each other, as well as with employees
and the community.
Customer focus through appreciation of interests and passion for food that is
local, healthy and delicious and sustainably sourced.
A key approach to achieve these will be to establish relationships with local talent to
provide entertainment and increase advertising locally.
The owner has asked you to develop a team work plan that will include a range of
tasks and activities that the café’s staff can carry out over the next twelve months to
Page 17 of 46
SITXHRM009 Lead and manage people
In order to develop a plan that will be enthusiastically adopted by the team, you are
to conduct a meeting with the staff to inform them of the new key goals, and to
workshop innovative ideas they may have that could help the business achieve
them. With the participation of the staff, you are to translate their ideas into actions
that they will then carry out.
o seek feedback from team members and implement changes within the
bounds of organisational goals and policies.
You will need to complete each activity and submit the required task at the end of
each step completed.
Read through this assessment and each task before you get started and make
Page 18 of 46
SITXHRM009 Lead and manage people
sure you understand what you need to do. If you are unsure, speak to your
assessor and/or supervisor.
Stay up to date!
Stay in touch with your assessor. Ask questions, raise issues, check in,
communicate.
Most importantly, ask for help if you are having trouble!
The meeting will provide an opportunity for all the café’s employees to contribute to
the next stage of the business’s development. You will be collecting ideas about
how the team can fulfil the business’s objectives.
You are expected to encourage all team members to be innovative and be
constructive in their participation. Keep in mind that this unit’s focus is on teams
working in an effective way, and you are being assessed on your ability to
encourage and support your colleagues to do this.
Review the case study information and write some notes on your plans for the
meeting.
You will know the other meeting participants, so structure the meeting in a way that
is appropriate for these people (your classmates). Use appropriate language and
social references, too.
Write a statement of what the team’s purpose and long-term objectives are, to take
to the meeting with you. This will be just your starting point, though, as these will
have to be discussed and accepted by all the meeting’s participants.
As well as leading the meeting, you will be taking notes, and writing up a report
afterwards. Review the Team Work Plan Template to order the information you
receive at the meeting. How do you want to document the meeting’s proceedings?
With a white board, computer and projector, or butcher’s paper?
Answer
Dear Staff Members,
I am pleased to announce that we will be holding a staff meeting on 20 May at
09:00 in the meeting room. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the latest
developments in our company and to provide updates on ongoing projects.
During the meeting, we will also be discussing any concerns or feedback that you
may have. This is an excellent opportunity for you to voice your opinions and to
participate in the decision-making process.
We expect all staff members to attend this meeting. If you are unable to attend due
to extenuating circumstances, please notify us as soon as possible.
Please come prepared with any questions or topics you would like to discuss, and
we look forward to seeing you all there.

Check that there is enough seating for all meeting participants. Every participant
should be able to see the whiteboard, and the seating should be arranged to
encourage a group discussion.
Ensure that all of the physical elements are functioning correctly before the meeting
begins.
Answer
I have the room 303 for the all the staff fit in.
Begin the meeting by welcoming the participants and giving a summary of the
organisation’s goals and objectives, and how encouraging innovation in the
workplace can support these.
Your next step is to establish, and document, the team’s purpose and long-term
objectives and how these support the business’s goals and objectives.
You are being asked here to role-play a Team Leader, leading colleagues in
thinking up new ways of doing things, but you are also a student, asking your
student colleagues for new ideas and how they can be translated into actions. Your
team members will all most probably have a favourite café. Bring this out at the
meeting, getting them to look at their own motivations as to what they enjoy, and
look at how this could be used to motivate others, as well as their experiences of
events (music or social activities) that assisted in increasing interest and support of
their favourite eatery.
Also, be aware that the other students at the meeting will be conducting a meeting
on the same topic within a short time of you conducting yours. So, try to establish
your own meeting leadership style. It should be uniquely yours, and effective. Be
Page 21 of 46
SITXHRM009 Lead and manage people
conscious that you will be modelling effective meeting leadership throughout the
meeting. You should consciously behave as a role model for your colleagues,
behaving in a way that encourages team excellence.
Even though you may think that you know what the business should do, being a
leader in this meeting means that you are responsible for engaging and motivating
the other meeting participants, leading them in collaboration. Not leading them by
telling them what to do.
When you have conducted the preliminaries, open the meeting up to ideas that the
participants have brought with them. Document the brainstorm on the whiteboard.
Discuss (and record) the ideas the participants give, asking the others for input,
looking at it practically, working out what preparation would be necessary, material,
personnel, whatever is relevant to carrying the idea to realisation.
While encouraging the team members to find and develop ideas, you are expected
to display the following leadership skills:
Show support for, and commitment to, the business’s strategic goals.
Encourage the team members to take responsibility for their own work.
Model and encourage open and supportive communication within the team.
Share information from the wider business environment with the team as
appropriate for the situation.
During the meeting, you are required to demonstrate effective communication skills
including:
summarise the ideas and activities to have come out of the meeting.
the summary should verify the teams, and each team member’s, expectations,
roles and responsibilities.
tell the participants that you will lead and support them in meeting the
outcomes.
Finish the meeting by thanking the participants and telling them that you will collate
Page 22 of 46
SITXHRM009 Lead and manage people
the ideas that they have shared and the activities that they have selected to
undertake into a Team Work Plan, with each person’s roles and responsibilities
clearly set out. Tell the participants when they can expect to have the plan. Give
yourself a realistic but challenging time frame for this.
Answer
Firstly, it's important that we all respect and collaborate with each other as team
members. We are all working towards a common goal, and to achieve this, we
need to understand each other's roles and responsibilities and work together.
Finally, we should all be interested in not only the growth of our restaurant but also
in our personal growth and development. We should support each other, play to our
strengths, and work on our weaknesses to become the best team we can be.
Thank you.
