How to build a successful team?
Descripción
1. MissionIt is the shared commitment to a specific mission that helps define a team. A mission statement can provide powerful documentation about the team’s purpose. Creating a mission statement requires team members to think about, discuss and come to agreement on the following questions: What is the work we were brought together to do? Why can this work best be done as a team? What will our work create for our organization, our team and ourselves?
Mission statements may be short; they should be written in everyday language that each team member understands and supports.
2. Goals
Mission statements give a team guiding principles, but goals give the team a real target for their activity. Goals should be something worth striving for — important results that the team can provide for the organization.
3. Roles and responsibilities
It’s particularly important in a team environment that team members know what is expected of each of them. Without these expectations, members can’t develop mutual accountability or trust in the team. When a team’s expectations are clear and members meet (or exceed) expectations, trust and an increased sense of “teamness” are natural by-products.
4. Groundrules
To be effective, teams need to be explicit about the ways they will work together. Groundrules are guidelines for specific behaviors. Teams don’t need a lot of groundrules to work together well, but everyone on the team should agree to the groundrules and share responsibility for ensuring that they are followed.
Some sample ground rules include:1) Be respectful of others, 2) Share your own experiences and opinions; avoid “they say” statements, 3) One speaker at a time, 4) Keep discussions focused on topic at hand, 5)Honor time limits — start and end on time
5. Decision-making
Teams may choose different models for making decisions; the most important factor is that the decision-making model be explicit and understood by all team members. A clear decision making model describes who makes the decision and how others will be involved.
