TEAM : Together, Everyone Achieve More !!

Working in teams, if it is done right, could mean achieving better resultes and get more work done in a shorter period of time. However, it could also mean frustration, dis-satisfaction, and lower productivity. The question is, what are the characteristics of a successful team ? Experts discovered that that effective teams share some or all of the following characteristics.

Small Size, Diverse Makeup

People say "too many cooks spoil the broth". Large groups are difficult to interacte with which could lead to less agreement on actions and reduce productivity. Teams of 4 or 5 are most effective for almost any projects.

Groups that have different gen

der, age, ethnicity, social background, training, and experience tends to produce more creative decisions. The key business advantage of diversity is the ability to view the project from multiple perspectives.

Have you ever worked with a diverse group before ? How is it different from homogeneous groups? please we would love to hear about your experience.

Agreement on Purpose

An effective, motivated team begins with a purpose. Setting clear and specific goals will lead to meaningful discussions that will increase productivity and saves both time and money. However, setting small goals require big investment of time and effort.

How can an organization divide their general purpose into specific goals ? Any thoughts ?
