Tips for team building

Building a team that will really click is a tedious task and does not happen overnight. But the following guidelines help to make the best possible team with available resources.

Select the right leader: Someone who can walk the talk and not someone who believes only in going orders and pressurizing members to try and extract the best out of the team members.

Clear division of roles and responsibilities: The plan of action must be clearly defined and chalked out with the team leader before choosing the team members so as to get the ideas how many members are required and who are best to perform a particular role.

Select responsible team members: Before including someone in the team, he/she must be briefed out his/her role and responsibility and whether he/she agrees to take that up with full satisfaction. Only when someone is satisfied with the responsibility he/she is bestowed with, can one deliver the peak performance.

Open communication: Proper communication channel is vital for the growth of a team. All must be equal including leader and must be available and approachable when needed. With the implementation of open communication, everyone can open up with every problem they face in regular meeting and with everyone’s participation all problems can be solved in creative way with the best suggestion received.

Suitable environment: Suitable work culture and work environment are essential for a team to coordinate properly and act cohesively. It is the duty of the organisation and leader to maintain and supervision the environment and conflict must be resolved constructively.
