Creating a Powerhouse Team: Some Tips to Consider
1. Identify your
goals. Communicate your goals and expectations clearly right from the start to
avoid any disagreements within the team.
2. Define
responsibilities. Having clear-cut responsibilities and accountabilities can
help reduce friction among group members so make sure they understand their
individual roles perfectly. Play to their individual strengths by assigning
tasks that allow them to use their skills and competencies.
3. Training is the
key to success. Remember, your team is only as strong as its weakest link so do
everything you can to further enhance your team members' skills and
capabilities.
4. Empower your team.
Give your people the power to make their own decisions pertaining to the task
at hand but carefully monitor them to make sure they are doing the right thing.
5. Provide valuable
feedback. Let your group members know what you think about their work. Never
let them second guess your opinion for it may affect the quality of their work.
Keep in mind that it is your responsibility to steer them in the right
direction.
6. Reinforce positive
results. Rewarding your people as a team for a job well done can foster a more
positive office environment. In addition, you should reward high performing
team members as well.
