Hey guys great points, personally I believe that there is two main components of teams that make them successful. These are:
1. Use of good communication techniques.
When talking to members within a group make sure you use the right channel to communicate to them. This will not only make your message easier to comprehend, but it will also make it easier for your team to give helpful feedback. Good teams have informal environments which encourage team cohesiveness and allows members to insert humor into serious matters. Humor is a big factor, when used right it can help ease tensions and reduce stress. Additionally using the right communication techniques will help a team overcome barriers such as language, and interference.
2. The ability to collaborate rather than compete.
It's human nature to compete and want to be the best. When put into a team the members have to put aside their individual goals and come together for a common mission. The members help each other to make the team project better instead of letting members struggle to make themselves look better. Being competitive isn't always detrimental, teams should compete with other teams to ensure that they put their best foot forward.
I agree with both of your points! Communication and collaboration are two very important attributes of successful teams. Teams that work together and do not compete with one another can be more effective because there are no selfish acts. All team members are working towards a common goal, acting as one entity.
ReplyDeleteGood communication is not only important in teams, but in everything, so it's obvious that good communication is an attribute of a successful team.
