11 Tips To Build A Great Team
A good leader should know that teams have their own set of rules and behaviors that need to be followed in order to keep the team’s good performance. The following tips were condensed from the book “Build a Great Team: Choose the Right People for the Right Roles” by Ros Jay, this selection is like a “quick guide” to build a great team.
1. Nobody should feel they have more work to do than the other members of the team.
2. As a general rule the team should accept that ideas are not sacred and anyone has the right to suggest alternative ideas.
3. Information regarding the project or team’s reason to be is not private, no one should keep information to themselves.
4. Support among team members should be fostered by the team’s leader and the team members too.
5. Use your Emotional Intelligence and recognize each other’s feelings, be aware of them.
6. All team members should know and be able to state what the goals of the team are.
7. In the event of conflicts, play a mediator role and do not allow anyone out of the room until an agreement has been reached.
8. Do schedule regular meetings to review how things are going, don’t trust the “auto” pilot mode several teams fall into.
9. Use difficult circumstances such as competition to unite the team by focusing on figuring out ways to solve them.
10. Ban all gossip, that’s an unacceptable behavior, you should confront those who are spreading stories, you can overcome this being straightforward. This way people will not feel the need to gossip.
11. If a member is not committed with the goals of the team it means the member does not deserve to be on the team.
Of course you should see what tip out these helps your team the most. But being aware of them is a must for a wanna be leader.
