Objectives: Students should be able to understand how to apply the six key team behaviors in greater detail as a result of this assignment. Students should also gain an awareness of how to apply these behaviors to increase team performance as a result of this assignment.Purpose: Students will gain awareness for how to apply each of the six key team behaviors in a project team setting to increase performance and achieve project goals.Assignment Description: Union Railroad has been using dynamic project management teams to drive their ongoing process improvement initiatives now for almost two years. Union has recently completed a benchmarking activity around the use of these teams and their performance against other peer organizations. As part of this study they realized that they have not actually been measuring, monitoring, and motivating some of the teams as much as they could have.Union has decided to hire you to come in and improve this deficiency. They have asked that you analyze their situation and discuss how they might incorporate the six key team behaviors into their process. Especially they want you to prepare a 1-2 page report that discusses your thoughts and approach to leveraging these six key team behaviors and how through their use they can achieve better measurement of performance, monitoring, and motivational aspects within their team environment.Students should provide a 1-2 page paper that outlines their approach around how they would use the six key team behaviors to measure, monitor, and motivate positive team behavior and performance. Students should outline their process and engagement to ensure that they are able to bring out these positive traits out of their team structure.Parameters:Submissions should be 1-2 pages in length, with at least 650 words outside of any sources or examples from the text. Papers should follow standard APA 6th edition formatting guidelines and be original work, outside of cited sources. Papers must cover all six of the key team behaviors, to include how each student would leverage these to create a motivated team environment. Grading Rubric for Assignment:
