14. Fallacy III

not become
stale in due

settle in.

15. Newness a Bad Thing ???
The Answer is Yes It is rather bad !!!
People must have the Chance to learn through
experience
how to best operate as a team before they can be
effective as a team.
The following facts say why :-
New Crews always function way worse than the old
ones because of no prior experience working with
each other.

16. Newness a Bad Thing ??? (Cont’d)
• It was Found that 73% of incidents occurred on a
crew’s first day of flying together and 44% of
these took place on a crew’s very first flight.
• It was also found that fatigued crews who had
previously flew together made only half as many
errors as crews composed of rested crews who had
not flown together before .

17. Why Airlines Don’t stick to the same
crews ???
• It isn’t efficient from a financial point of view.
• Due to non availability of surplus pilots , each
pilot may have to work with 2 or 3 aircrafts and
crew in a single day itself.
So it is not at all feasible for Airlines to stick with
same crews

18. How to build a team
 Richard Hackman’s five condition
 Teams must be real
 Teams need a compelling direction
 Teams need enabling structures
 Teams need a supportive organization

as a geographically
dispersed team, distributed
team, or remote team) is a
group of individuals who
work across time, space and
organizational boundaries
with links strengthened by
webs of communication
technology.

21. How to keep teams from becoming
complacent..??
• To have a deviant who can help the team by
challenging the tendency to want too much
homogeneity, which can stifle creativity and learning.
• Deviants are the source of great innovations.
• Deviants are the individuals who are willing to say
the thing that nobody else is willing to articulate.
• When you lose the deviant the team can become
mediocre.

22. How can a leader make the team work
effective..?
• By having a good relationship with the group and to
make them understand the group what is expected
and enforced.
• To improve the chances of a team and make the
working special.
• Best team leader makes constant improvising as they
go along.
• Leader brings to the task his or her ow strengths and
weaknesses.
